Do you start your day with the best kind of fuel f Do you start your day with the best kind of fuel for your body? . . As I was making breakfast I started to really think about the foods I reach for to start my day. The word breakfast means breaking your fast after possibly the longest time between meals that you experience. . . Over the years I have tested & altered the foods that I eat first thing in the morning based off of how they make me feel after eating them. . . I have found that I feel my best when I fill my plate with proteins, fats, fiber, greens & a little fermented food to rev up my digestion. . . Now don’t get me wrong, there are times that I might enjoy a little something sweet with the savory but that isn’t how I eat most of the time. But, I do believe in enjoying your food and special occasions without guilt so I too enjoy them on occasion. . . I eat my biggest meal in the morning and really try and pack in all the goodness to fuel my mind, body and soul for the day. If I don’t start my day with these high quality foods I find myself hitting energy slumps, having a clouded mind & reaching for more caffeine or sweets early in the day. . . Your meal should leave you feeling satisfied and not needing another meal for hours. If you find yourself reaching for snacks right after a meal, it’s a sign that you might not be eating enough at your meal or including fats, protein & fiber that help you feel full longer. . . Meals don’t have to be complicated nor take hours to make. I plan ahead and make a hash, bacon & have fresh greens on hand to throw in a pan to reheat which makes breakfasts come together in a flash. . . Other breakfast ideas would be… ➡️chia seed pudding topped with nut butter & fresh berries ➡️sweet potato toast with avocado & a fried egg. ➡️homemade paleo granola paired with nut milk & fresh berries ➡️protein smoothie made with nut milk, protein powder, flax & chia seeds & topped with nut butter & granola. . . Swipe to see who else was hoping this plate full of goodness was coming there way! . . What are some of your go to breakfast foods?
A weekend to remember! . . This weekend was fille A weekend to remember! . . This weekend was filled with so much friendship & fun I’m having a serious weekend hangover! You know the ones that leave you wanting more but also so, so tired from all the festivities & fun?!?!? . . I also crossed a milestone, quite literally with venturing the furthest north I’ve ever been in Idaho to date. I still have many places on the bucketlist to go explore but this weekend we headed to Cottonwood. We drove through our favorite spots on the way and grabbed some of our favorite goodies. @staceycakesid ginger snap cookies are a must have for any road trip, festivity, pretty much anytime & anywhere you should have them! Yes, they are that good! . . We ventured up for our friends wedding which was incredible & so much fun to watch them enter into this next chapter of their lives. . . We also ventured out into the great outdoors & found yet another high mountain like to enjoy. There is something so inviting and wonderful about getting up in the mountains, stretching your legs & cooling yourself in the fresh mountain run off. I have challenged myself to always get in, so I have stayed true to date for this challenge. I might just stop hiking when the temps get too chilly to take a dip! . . As you swipe through the photos you will find a funny little family video! Documenting our splish splashing in the lake, enjoying each other’s company & as always doting on Fin. . . Loving this month of getting out into the great outdoors in Idaho. It’s been so fun to find new hidden treasures in this incredible state we live in! . . What are some of your favorite summer memories you’ve made?
Love having your hand to hold through this wild an Love having your hand to hold through this wild and crazy thing called life! . . Celebrating 8 years together & 3 years married. Feels like the time is flying by & there is no one I’d rather have by my side. . . Tobs, you keep me on my toes every single day! You push me to be better at fly fishing & rowing our raft. You keep me trying to stay up with you as we mountain bike. Keep me excited to dream up our next place to explore. Keep me savoring every last bite and sip of another incredible meal we share together. . . Forever grateful to have such a wonderful man & partner by my side. Life wouldn’t be the same without you.

What a weekend! . . This weekend felt like the tr What a weekend! . . This weekend felt like the true start to summer and getting back to the things we love most. It had been some time since we had taken a trip like this. . . One filled with old friends and meeting many new friends. Filled with good food, drinks, and more adventures then we ever thought we’d get up to. . . It was a weekend for exploring and enjoying this great state that we live in & visiting some of our favorite places with a couple new spots along the way. . . We hiked, biked, fished, swam, ate & drank our way through the long weekend & we couldn’t be happier. . . It was a reminder of what life is all about. To be surrounded by good food, incredible company & enjoy the great outdoors! . . I am rolling into this week with tired eyes & legs but feeling so full of friendship & gratitude for where I get to call home. Thankful 🇺🇸 . . What did you get up to this holiday weekend?
When friends visit…… . . We had the pleasure o When friends visit…… . . We had the pleasure of hosting two of our best friends for a quick 36 hour driving through Boise visit. Although the visit was short, we of course packed it with all the good things Boise has to offer! . . We zipped up to Bogus for some epic Mountain biking. Possibly pushed the limits in this extreme heat wave… Let’s just say that Matt has had better Mtn bike ride experiences! . . We stayed cool with refreshing beverages and filled our tummies with tasty food. . . And of course, stayed up way too late enjoying our backyard, reminiscing about old times, dreaming up future plans & soaking in the goodness of being together! . . It had been way too long since we had hosted friends at our house. It made me realize just how special it is to have those you love come and visit. I loved having Brandi & Matt stay in our home & get to enjoy our little city. We also had a bonus guest, Kim! She brought the laughs as you can see in the last video! . . I am so grateful for the opportunity to be with friends and family again. It was something I am sure we all missed and longed for last year and we are finally able to be together again! Nothing feels better than being able to hug and truly connect with the people who matter most in your life! . . I hope you too are able to have these kinds of moments. To be with the people who mean the most to you. . . Cheers to food, fun & friendship! Some of the best things in life!✨
