Instagram and Hello!!

instapost

After months of phone/messenger tag, I finally connected with one of my sweetest friends the other week. It feels like we spoke, I could hear her voice  so clearly through the words on the screen. We shared news and caught up. I wrote about my enjoyment of all manner of food and drink this past summer, of learning my body – and just how hard I can, and can’t, push it. I wrote of feeling  happy and great, and how I was excited to have found my way back to the kitchen. She responded so beautifully: ” This is life isn’t it? We get to experience it all. It’s so comforting to have a place to come back to. That’s what macro has always been for me. It’s like coming home. No matter what you have been doing, you always feel better when you get home!”

These past few weeks have been filled with stirring, smelling, tasting, playing. Creating.  I’ve been smiling and humming while cooking, and even while doing the dishes (a first!).

It’s good to be here.

She Cooks Macro Featured on The Kind Life!

featured-peachsorbetSoooooo super excited to be featured on Alicia Silverstone’s The Kind Life today!! It’s a huge honour and if you haven’t already, I highly recommend reading both of Alicia’s books- The Kind Diet and The Kind Mama. Hubs and I are currently chillaxing at a cottage on a little island near Pointe au Baril in the middle of Georgian Bay and it is bliss. We’ve seen eagles, loons (even a baby loon!!), beavers, muskrats, tons of shooting stars, been to a sacred island to stand quietly and place our hands on a giant stone that seriously looks like a huge turtle, and watched gorgeous sunsets. Today we canoed through water as smooth as glass and it was so quiet you could hear the crickets from shore. As you can tell from my extended absence here, it’s been busy times for us so having this time in nature is really, truly appreciated.

Enjoy these last few weeks of summer- and if you haven’t already, make this peach sorbet!! It is sooooo easy and simple. And delicious too!!

In the meantime, while going through some images for a current project, I found this pic from last spring and wanted to share. Hope it brightens your day a bit… Spring will be here before we know it.
