Put together all of my favorite eats on one plate. Because, as much as I adore the kids homemade pancakes, a bowl of fresh fruit is what I really want for Mother’s Day.

After two weeks of living on bourbon and donuts (okay, fine. Two and a half.) I decided it was time to kick myself into healthy gear. Pulled out favorite fresh veggies, drizzled with sesame oil, rice vinegar and a kiss coconut aminos. And reminded myself that fast food doesn’t have to come from a drive thru.

“The repetition of the days did something to you. You knew the monotony, but you couldn’t fight it. You had to invent your own repetitions to meet it. A ritual. This early, barely awake…was hers…” D-ana Spiotta

Bowl of oatmeal. Coffee. Sun peeking over Grandeur Peak. If only every morning was this morning.
