Fianlly, I’m getting around to sharing part 4 of our little “up north” travel journal. I can’t believe it was a month ago already! We spent a whole week in one of our favorite places… Starting every morning with tea on our balcony overlooking Lake Sueprior, and ending every day with a dip in our…
More scenes from our up north adventure last month! It’s taken me sooooo long to post all the photos because I took so darn many. Can you believe there are still more? Just enough for one more post after this one, so please bear with me. I appreciate everyone who writes to me and tells…
On our way up to Grand Marais, on day three of our up north adventure, we stopped at Palisade Head in Tettegouche state park. It’s beautiful up there with sweeping views of Lake Superior and it’s wild, windswept, rocky landscape. The size of the lake always takes me by surprise, and I’ve been traveling to…
Our little adventure began much as it always does. We got up bright and early and drove from Red Wing to the north shore of Lake Superior. Our first stop is always Pizza Luce in downtown Duluth for lunch, followed by a long browse around Electric Fetus for music, incense, soaps, candles, and other fun…
Can you believe we’re already in the throes of August and talking about the kids going back to school? The summers always seem to scurry by in a flash, and I just go with the flow. Adding stuff on top of stuff to our calendar until it looks like a complicated math problem. We say…
We’ve enjoyed the awesome Wiqui Waqui Salad at both the California and Hawaii Island Restaurant locations. It’s so delicious, and I must admit, a bit addictive. Good thing it’s healthy! Annnnndddd, since we don’t have an Island Restaurant in Minnesota, it’s a good thing I came up with the “copycat” recipe so I can make…
We took eleven glorious days off from work for a little summer “staycation.” Lots of hammock naps, beach days with our daughters and grand girls, iced sun tea on the front porch, trips to Caribou for iced coffee, strolls around our lovely downtown which looks like a giant flower garden in the summer, lunches and…
I adore Island Restaurant‘s burgers, salads and dinner bowls. The Beach Bowl is one of my favorite treats to make at home! It’s so easy, healthy, and delicious. And those colors! Such a pretty dish. We recently made these yummy bowls when our friend Dana came to visit. You want to start with a pot…
Here’s another awesome, healthy smoothie from the collection of smoothie recipes that I discovered from Disney World’s Senses Juice Bar. This one is so lovely and refreshing! I love the delicious combination of flavors and the little kick from the fresh ginger. This smoothie is a great way to get an extra serving of veggies…
Disney World has opened a lovely juice and smoothie bar since my family last visited the park, and they posted a bunch of recipes online. I’m working my way down the list and posting them here so you can enjoy them too. This one was positively delicious! Recipe source: Disney Senses Juice Bar ~ Banana…
