hash

Tuesday April 26

at our last breakfast club meeting i ordered a delicious hash that consisted of sweet potatoes, golden beets + apples topped with a perfectly poached egg. i loved the simplicity of this dish so much that made it the other nite for dinner, i am a breakfast kinda girl. i added a few things like roasted garlic, onions + fresh thyme which added to the coziness of this meal. i am not one to follow recipes closely + since i didn’t really have one, i kinda just made it up. this was enough to serve 4-6 people, i always like to make extra roasted veggie to top off salads, add to quesadillas or to just nibble on.

golden hash
-2 large sweet pots
-3 med golden beets
-2.5 fuji apples
-1/2 med onion
-handful of unpeeled garlic cloves
-1/2tsp fresh thyme
-olive oil

dice: pots, beets, apples, onions. layer on baking sheet, throw in garlic cloves, toss in olive oil to coat, salt + pepper. bake at 400 for about 45mins till things start to caramelize. i stirred the veggies a couple times to make sure they browned evenly. squeeze out garlic cloves, sprinkle with fresh thyme. top with a poached or fried egg. yummers!

all thing magic + faeries

Wednesday April 20

lucy + i have taken a little impromptu getaway to aunt suji’s cabin up in the mountains (we are blessed with awesome family), the house has always been a safe haven of stillness + reconnection. i have been wanting to take a girls’ trip with miss beans for a while and this seemed like a perfect time. we are getting to know each other outside of our everyday routine. i love that she always has a stash of dried flowers, acorns, pods + other trinkets hidden in her pockets at anytime + she keeps them close so that she is always ready to entice faeries with her creations. today we built the first of several faerie homes we have planned for our trip, it was a sweet + an amazing experience to watch her creativity + passion. i feel so lucky to have lucy teach me and show me who she really is. she is pure love.

we are also singing this katy perry song (her fave) and this song at the top of our lungs, cooking, drinking copious amounts of hot cocoa while talking about life, dad + her upcoming birthday.
