it's independence day.

The fourth of July around these parts were wonderful. I had the most successful bbq of my life and it was great having so many friends and family members together in one spot. My cup runneth over.

rumbly in my tumbly.

One of my favorite things about summer is farmer's market and my garden, which in turn equals scrumptious food. 

yummy yummy starter salad. 

garlic. red wine vinegar. olive oil. carrots. turnips. kohlrabi. radishes. snap peas. celery cucumbers (without the seeds). fresh cilantro or dill. chopped red or green cabbage or other heavy greens.

french bread. need i say more?

who knows how wonderful that salad would be on this bread. my mouth is already watering.

the teaser.

melt in your mouth wonderful.

mozzarella. plum tomato. basil pesto. grilled cheese sandwich.

 

great side dish.

green beans. butter. minced garlic. kosher salt. ground pepper. freshly grated parmesan cheese.

i'm a shapeshifter.

So I've been doing yoga for a few months now and it's still taking me a lot of work to get back to how flexible I was in high school. It makes me miss dancing even more as I was in crazy shape. So even though I still consider myself a beginner I do love the new poses my instructor has been adding lately. These are some of my favorite poses...although not difficult by any means I enjoy what they do to the ol' bod.

Warrior 1
