Summer Daze

FullSizeRender (43)Tousled hair that hasn’t been washed. Sun-kissed skin and no make-up. The oven constantly being filled with goodness. The flicker of a candle, an afternoon pick-me-up smoothie, or that second cup of coffee. It’s that extra five minutes of devotional time, extra twenty minutes of sleeping in, and a nap because you can.

It’s only been a few days but this summer pace has me smitten. A much slower pace. A present over perfect summer is in store. Being with the ones I love and having a few more minutes of silence, relaxation, and restoration. I think my mind, body, and soul needed this more than I even realized and I am oh so thankful.

Open-Faced Breakfast

Open-faced Breakfast Sandwich stephanie-spring.comOpen-faced Breakfast Sandwich stephanie-spring.comI love slow mornings just as much as productive ones. I love being spontaneous as much and I love routine. I love new creations as much I love go-to’s. The other morning I tried my hand at mixing some flavors together and embracing the unknown of how it would turn out. This is 100% Eric’s forte more than mine. That being said, after the first bite I think I gave him a run for his money.ย ๐Ÿ˜‰


Ingredients:

  • One bunch of green onions, washed and diced
  • One organic egg
  • One piece of Ezekiel Bread
  • 1 and 1/2 Tablespoons Vegenaise
  • 1/2 an avocado
  • Homemade ketchup (found, here!)
  • 1/2 Tablespoon of unsalted butter

 



What to do:

In a small pan, melt the butter on medium heat. Add three fourths of the green onions. Stir until they are slightly browned. Add the egg over the green onions in the pan. Toast the Ezekiel bread. Once it is toasted, spread the Vegenaise onto the toast, followed by the avocado. Use a fork to slightly press the avocado into the toast. Place the cooked egg and green onions on top of the toast. Place one tablespoon of ketchup onto the egg and sprinkle the remaining uncooked green onions on top. I use a forked to eat it and savor every bite!


 

Deserted Island + Netflix Series

Stranded WithStranded on an island with Shay, Erika and 3 Netflix series of my choice?! Not too shabby. ๐Ÿ˜‰

GILMORE GIRLS Lauren Graham as Lorelai Gilmore, Alexis Bledel as Rory GilmoreGilmore Girls

If I’m stranded on an island, I’m going to need a feel good show and Gilmore Girls would be just that! Lorelai, Rory, and the entire crew would have me laughing, crying, and I have no doubts that Shay would be joining me. ๐Ÿ˜‰ #lukeandlorelaiforever ย

I’m going to need some serious inspiration on how to make random concoctions taste amazing with the food around me. ๐Ÿ˜‰ I love watching the different techniques that people use to create a fun dish!

How could I not bring Chip and JoJo along on a stranded island? Even if it’s via Netflix. Let’s hope whenever I’m off the island, I will have a million decorative ideas for when I get home. ๐Ÿ˜‰

There you have it! Three girls. Three shows. Happy Wednesday!

BagNars Lip Pencil/ Lip Gloss/ Hand Lotion/ Vaseline/ย Wallet/ Blistex/ Nars Lip Pencil

I’ve tried to downsize my bag/purse which means minimizing the items in there as well. Easier said than done. ๐Ÿ˜‰ย Other than my cell phone and occasional bobby pins that get thrown in there, I have some staples that I don’t like to leave without. Here’s a peek in my bag for your Tuesday! ๐Ÿ™‚

 

What are some of the things you can’t leave the house without?!
