Summer breakfasts are my favorite seasonal breakfasts to make. I think because in the fall and winter, I MUST have something warm and that tends to take more time. Summer breakfasts can be quick, cold and still tasty and filling! This one happens to be warm but it's got one of my favorite grains: quinoa! Top with some fruit and put it in a beautiful bowl and your day is MADE!    Here's the recipe!

Once a week, after work I take a long hot bath with peppermint oil and listen to OnBeing. One of the most inspiring podcasts I've come across. The show describes itself as one that addresses the big questions of meaning and its host, Krista Tippet invites thinkers, artists, dancers, poets, scientists, politicians, musicians, athletes and anyone who has something to say about what it means to live a life with meaning. It's a gorgeous exploration every week and has helped me remember to take time to think and feel more deeply. Here is a link to their most listened to episodes of 2016. Great place to start!

Summer nonfiction is a very specific thing - it can't be too heavy and it can't be too educational. Here are a few that are just right:

Rise: How a House Built a Family by Cara BrookinsDo Not Sell At Any Price: The Wild, Obsessive Hunt for the World's Rarest 78 rpm Records by Amanda PetrusichChange Your Clothes, Change Your Life, Because Your Can't Go Naked by George BresciaThe Sound of a Wild Snail Eating by Elisabeth Tova BaileyMrs. Robinson's Disgrace: The Private Diary of a Victorian Lady by Kate Summerscale

The App: The app gives you tiny, bite-sizedbook summaries in blinks that you can either read or listen to. There's a free version that gives you 1 book a day! Find out more here.

The Podcast: The podcast gives you a better way to do the things you do everyday. How about a better way to be a partner? A better way to eat yogurt? A better way to store wrapping paper! It's all here!
