Indulge


There is something so incredibly luxurious about latte foam. It is not an essential. In fact, it is unnecessary. It serves no purpose in adding to my caffeine buzz. It is an indulgence. Taking time to yield to the senses. Frothy milk with a delicate hint of espresso. Swirls of pale caramel color laced in creamy white. Slowly sipping increases the enjoyment twofold, and maybe even more so. Sometimes I close my eyes. It's that good; if you take the time to make it that way.

summer means...

gorging yourself on fresh fruit. and lots of it. no remorse here!

cherries

blueberries

raspberries

strawberries

peaches

mangos

plums

figs

...and chocolate chips. i mean, cacao grows on trees, right? these pancakes were hearty and tasted delightfully nutritious. no added sugar, no butter, and no eggs made for an informal, guilt-free 4th of July brunch. i love satisfying tummys and souls, especially my family's.
