Hey sweet, lovely people! Since my last couple posts have mostly been photos of my recent gallivanting around shows and festivals, I thought I would share with you what's been going on in my food world lately.
Yesterday's breakfast:
French toast (made with Udi's bread) topped with peanut butter, sliced banana, a little Love Grown granola and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Some other recent meals:
Mixed greens salad with baked sweet potato, homemade croutons and a fried egg topped with sriracha.
Kale, tomatoes, baked sweet potato, black olives, basil, cilantro, scrambled eggs, hummus and a little bit of barbecue sauce. Awesome flavor combinations going on with this one!
I have a few products that I have been meaning to review but I'm not going to do it today. So, stay tuned for a couple product reviews coming within the next few days or so.
And stay tuned for some recipes coming soon as well!
I just want to send out a mass message of love and gratitude to all my friends and readers. And I also wanted to say HI to all my bloggy friends who I have not been in communication with lately. I have been reading a few of my favorite blogs here and there, but I have not had the time to comment as freely as I would like. So, I just hope that all my blog friends know how much I love and appreciate you and how much you totally inspire me. Eventually, as summer comes to an end, I will become a little more grounded and present and I'll have more time to delve back into the blogosphere.
In one of my recent posts, I ended with a short message about LOVING YOURSELF. Since then, I have come across a couple beautiful blog posts with essentially the same message that have really resonated with me. Natalie's Love Yourself Where You're At and Ari's I.Love.Me. I love that this over-all message seems to keep reappearing in my life. I want to help spread that message too, so LOVE YOURSELF, beautiful beings! You are truly perfect just the way you are. <3
I want to close with something that came to me as I was ending my yoga practice and relaxing in savasana. It was kind of like my higher self speaking to myself or the universe delivering a message to my through my heart. Whatever it was, I just want to share.
Trust
that you are held by the universe
Trust
that when you step forward into the unknown
you will land with grace and ease
Trust
and have a little certainty in your step
Trust
that you will ALWAYS end up
right where you need to be <3
Logging you in...

Which flavor of Udi's bread did you use for that french toast?! It looks so much thicker than usual.

dear alaina, you don' t know me and I still don't know you very much but during time and reading your posts, seeing your pictures etc. one sentence often came to my mind "wow. you are So - sweet!". i love your spirituality and your honest heartiness (warmth), although I must admit that I sometimes thought you are a little naive on some things in life. but that might be my sadness and disappointment in humanity I sometimes feel! keep your strength and I think you are good at keeping it cause you know and you experience "the good way". I'm sure I will comment on future posts of yours, too (: .
I'm german so please excuse my grammar mistakes and don't misunterstand some things I wrote. Because I mean every word with love and pureness and I think european guys tend to express their feeling more directly without flowery phrases (:
you are so lovely and I'd be happy to read and see more of your world and your thoughts/ideas in the future.

i'm so glad that that "love yourself where you're at" post really resonated with you - i think it's something that ALL women struggle with at some level, and i think it is our responsibility to encourage one another and strengthen one another so we can all truly live our lives to the fullest! i love the little mantra you included at the end - trust is SO important, both in ourselves and in our relationships with others!

I only just discovered your great blog and although I'm not vegan or vegetarian, I do incomporate elements of these 'diets' in my food, and enjoy it very much. Experimenting with new foods and herbs is quickly becomin one of my favorite past times and I love to get inspiration on your blog. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes with us!
