Here’s what this past week looked like – My Everyday Life Week 14
Working with strawberries this week. We went through so many!
I made a really good strawberry jam.
Roasted strawberries make my house smell so good.
Styling.
I had a visit from my longtime friend from college, Jessica. She was down from Oregon!
We said goodbye to March.
I shared Currently March this week.
March recap! March went by fast for me. Did it for you?
I had fun putting blossoms all over my Currently workbook this month.
Let’s break it down.
Happy Monday!
We are now on week 14 of 2019! It’s the first day of April! This weekend was a busy one. We had a birthday celebration for my brother and my friend Jessica is in town visiting. Sunday routines were abandoned as we spent time together at our friend’s house for dinner. Life happens!!! This week will be a busy one with a friend visit in the mix. I didn’t have much time to get a lot done yesterday, so I spent a few minutes doing a Costco order on Instacart. We’ll be set for a bunch of things for the month now, and I didn’t have to spend almost 2 hours going to/from Costco and buying lots of unecessary items because I can be tempted in person. Small victories! That’s how I’m making technology work for me this week. Here’s a $10 off code for your first order if you want to get ahead of the week and have someone do the shopping for you!

On a walk with Ang. I looked up and saw this.
Foggy morning sunshine. It’s in these moments where I feel my Mom most.
Thank you for your orders!
This week I personalized every book with a postcard. I liked being able to take a moment and write your names. Made me feel more connected to the process. Thank you for buying a food journal!
My helper.
Color therapy with Ruby!
There are a couple of spots open in my Food Photography & Styling Workshop in May. You can read more about it here. I’d love for you to join us!
This is one of those recipes built out of necessity. As in, I need something healthy to put an egg on top of for breakfast/lunch/dinner and don’t want to do that much work. Also, I’m not eating bread right now (IS LIFE EVEN WORTH LIVING??!) and I’m trying to figure out what to eat for breakfast other than my usual egg + toast situation.
I believe that:
Restriction breeds creativity.
And here we are!
I had this recipe clipped from Bon Appetit hoping to make it one day. The only problem is, soaking beans overnight and cooking them in advance isn’t my kind of prep. Although I know I am definitely capable of making beans from scratch, I’m lazy and I’m bound to change my mind about wanting beans the next day.
I tried my own take on the recipe with canned beans and I really enjoyed it. When you used canned beans, they can break up on the roasting pan, turning crispy and crunchy in some parts. I find them to be a nice creamy contrast with the roasted broccoli, the hit of lemon juice and a nice bite of Parmesan cheese. I’m sure if I was given the opportunity, I’d eat this entire tray while sitting on the couch watching something on Netflix.
As you can see from the shot above, I decided to put an egg on it, and all was right with the world.
