The Incredible Summer Market

I could give you a million excuses for why I’ve only posted – what – twice in July?

But who wants to hear that. It’s July. I’ve been working on awesome, awesome things. I’ve been building projects and baking my butt off.  I’ve been planning and viewing and researching and (always) eating.  I’ve been documenting it all and sharing what I can when I have a second to come up for air and send a picture through vscocam or something of the sorts. And today, I actually had a second to sit down and look through all of the pictures in my July 2014 Photostream.

You just really have to see what’s happening at the market right now.  It is glorious.

I can’t even explain how happy it makes me that it is tomato season again.  I literally just had tomatoes (and a hard boiled egg) for breakfast.IMG_6672IMG_6573IMG_6413 IMG_6410And the melons! Is there anything that tastes more like summer than melons?  I’m over the moon happy with my summer fruit!
IMG_6412IMG_6661 IMG_6837 IMG_6574 Ok, one more tomato shot. I actually started a #kelslovestomatoes hashtag so I could document all the beautiful tomatoes in my life – before they quickly disappear into my stomach’s life.IMG_6833 IMG_6834 IMG_6665I’m always glad I brought my cart…
IMG_6847I hope you are all enjoying your summer, and that it has been just as bountiful as ours has been!  Happy summer market to all!

Enough with the Pumpkin Spice Lattes already. Seriously. If I see one more Instagram photo of a Starbucks cup with #PSL tagged I may throw my iPhone. And my iPhone doesn’t deserve that. First of all, I love fall. I … Continue reading

Goodbye to the Garden

Remember my lovely urban patio? The one that I was so excited to grow my own herbs and lettuces and tomatoes? The one that we even replanted for the summer to keep it seasonal and fresh? Yep, it was lovely. … Continue reading

The other night, Brad and I set what I think is a new record.  I am not necessarily condoning this, but when you are an adult and you have a lot of pastries sitting around, sometimes you eat crazy things … Continue reading
