I have so many hikes and adventures I want to share with you that I barely even know where to begin, so I thought I’d start with the overlooks in Bryce Canyon National Park.

I’ve fallen hard for eggplants this year – Japanese eggplants to be precise! I’ve always been so so about them in the past – it was a ‘take them or leave them’ sort of thing, but all that’s changed now! The texture of the Japanese variety is so much creamier than the regular globe eggplants – they’re longer and thinner in shape, (see the picture below) so pick some up the next time you see them, you won’t regret it!...

This morning started off just like any other regular work day in the country. We got up in the dark, made scrambled eggs and coffee before my husband headed off to work just before sunrise. However this morning he got a serious surprise on the way out to his truck. I had just locked the door behind him and headed back up the stairs, when all of a sudden there’s a pounding on the door....

Now… don’t get me wrong, I love all berries but there’s a special place in my heart for strawberries....

Most weeks you can find us meal-prepping some cut up fruit for green smoothies , and something to take along for healthy lunches. However, lately I’ve been stepping up my breakfast meal prepping as well. It started with the realization I was spending quite a bit of time putting together breakfast every morning.

We had the most magical morning for the Cavell Meadows Hike. The clouds were lifting between storms, and everywhere you looked the views were like a fairy tail. We tried to do this hike several years ago, but due to bad weather we didn’t make it. The trail is often closed until the first part of July to protect the fragile upper meadows area. You have 2 different options for this hike, and both of them are stunning....

Cracker Lake is located in the Many Glacier region of the park, and it ranks among most people’s top 10 hikes to do in Glacier National Park. Many Glacier is probably my favorite section of the park for it’s intense stunning beauty and glacial colored lakes. Even so, I’d never been to Cracker Lake until this year, and I definitely wasn’t disappointed! The color of the lake is unreal, it’s turquoise hue is due to rock flour from the now melted Siyeh Glacier....
