Triple Berry Crisp

This past weekend marked the first day of summer.  Of course, it was quite rainy and not so summery outside-so I needed to make something to brighten up our day. After much deliberation (I think I spent more time planning that actually making the dessert!), I made a triple berry crumble that I had made a couple weekends ago.  It was a hit with my family and Marlina finished off the rest for breakfast the next day.  Totally justifiable, right?

Summer Berry Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing

 

Finding inspiration to eat healthy can be difficult if you don’t have the right salad..trust me, I know.   Even though I love each one I post on here, I need some variation.  I’ve had this recipe for quite some time now and we enjoy it every time I make it-it’s simple and comes together quickly!  The poppy seed dressing really makes this salad special, and gives it a refreshing and unique flavor.

Blood Orange Margaritas 

 

Happy Monday-I think?  I hope you all had great weekends-I had a fairly relaxing one, so I was pretty happy with that.  I’m trying to conserve my energy for this work week coming up….a set of 6.  I’m dreading this.  I don’t exactly know why I do this to myself!! Anyways, one of the highlights of the weekend was that Gavin taught me how to play chess.  After playing 3 games, I won!  He is quite the skilled chess player, and I have yet to develop a strategy.  My allergies were acting up the first day, so I contribute that to not being so focused:P

Fall Salad with Pomegranate Vinaigrette

I know I’ve talked about fall a lot lately, but today it’s all about snow.  Seriously, it’s freaking cold outside, it might just snow any day now!  I guess this wouldn’t exactly surprise me, considering I live in Northern BC.  I just need to prepare myself mentally for the cold we are about to experience!
