- Mount Walker – Summer Sun
  
  Posted at 6:44 AM by Brittany, on June 12, 2015
  
  The weather in Washington is starting to look like summer. The days are hot, and the lack of AC in most places means for sticky, sweaty conditions.
  
  Check that sweat curl of hair by my face. Earned it.
  
  My fellow coffee slangin’ brotha from anotha and I escaped to the mountains on Wednesday after work, and by the time we got there it was 80 and humid.
  
  Thank God for the canopy cover of trees because it was H O T. The once snow capped mountains off yonder were as blue as a Southern crowned pigeon.
  
  As always, the view at the top made the steep grade worth ever step. Summer hikes are some of my favorite, simply because they are the most rewarding. Great things in life don’t usually come easy, and hiking is a perfect example of this.
  
  The hike here at Mount Walker is another one of my favorite solo climbs. If you squint real hard, you may be able to see Mt.Rainier in all her glory in the upper/middle left corner of the photo below. Any hike that highlights her beauty is a favorite of mine.
  
  Once upon a midnight dreary I thought I wanted to move away from Washington. How sad that would have been, I cannot imagine myself without these mountains.
  
  The journey down the mountain is almost always filled with thoughts of the day, thoughts of the views, and thoughts of food. Actually, the entire hike is usually mixed with thoughts of food let’s be real.
  
  I must have been extra hungry coming down this mountain, because my first thought upon seeing the above photo was food related. They look like some kind of red asparagus species, don’t you think? I tried to look it up, but couldn’t quite find it.
  
  The wild asparagus like plant sparked a fire in my stomach that could not be put out until fed. This inspired the most random food haul.
  
  Which turned into this.
  
  And the world spins madly on.
  
  Note to self: Buying a pea shoot plant was the best idea you’ve had all week.
  
  Q: What’s the weather like in your neck of the woods?

- Donuts and Coffee
  
  Posted at 7:33 AM by Brittany, on June 8, 2015
  
  National Running Day (NRD) and National Donut Day (NDD) were conveniently set within a day of each other. Coincidence? I think not.
  
  I logged 4 miles on NRD, 3 miles the next day, and 9 more miles between Sat/Sun . I wasn’t kidding when I said “I run to fit into my pants.” Thankfully I have a decent handle on the whole balance thing, and have been eating greens from my garden to counteract sugary donuts. Collards, and spinach, and rosemary – OH MY!
  
  I must be honest though and admit I did NOT actually consume a donut ON NDD. I ended up working later than planned, and good vegan donuts require a bit of travel. I instead daydreamt about the ghosts of donuts past.
  
  Specifically about this epic creation from VooDoo Doughnuts in Portland. Chocolate, Oreo’s, and peanut butter. So much yes.
  
  I don’t follow the rules, and despite the hype and excitement behind “national” anything day, I had no problems waiting until Sunday to embark on my donut quest.
  
  When I think donuts, I also think coffee. A piping hot cup of Joe as black as my cat.
  
  Meow.
  
  SO I ventured near Seattle, climbed a mountain, and got some donuts. Good things come to those who wait. I even risked tummy woes with the chocolate flavor.
  
  If a donut does not take up the entire space of your hand when being held, you need another one. Safe to assume you’ll always need two. If we’re being honest again I actually played too long in the forest yesterday and didn’t make it to the donut shop before it closed. I had to settle for the only two choices offered at Whole Foods.
  
  Worth it.
  
  What I really wanted was a maple bar and an apple fritter. Looks like I’ll be going back.
  
  I also didn’t have these donuts with coffee like I had planned…so this post has turned into a whirlwind of coulda, woulda, shoulda. I did have pizza and a jam filled scone though, and I have a new appreciation for geometry. Triangles = good things.
  
  I ❤ scones.
  
  Q: Did you celebrate NRD or NDD? Yes, yes I do fall prey to the made up holidays, but only when they support my addictions. In reality everyday is a good day for donuts and running. June 6 was national trails day…so I just clumped them all together.

- 100 Mile May
  
  Posted at 6:52 AM by Brittany, on June 3, 2015
  
  Last month I committed to running 100 miles. I think this is the most I’ve run in a single month, but my memory isn’t always the best. I ran everyday except for two, and took those two days off because my quads needed a rest day.
  
  To celebrate, I ran my final three miles and took myself on a date to the mountains.
  
  Running everyday wasn’t hard, and I think it’s because my usual runs were 3-4 miles, with a few longer ones in the mix. This made daily runs totally manageable.
  
  Per usual I learned some things the last month, and also reminded myself of things I already knew yet somehow forgot. It’s time for another round of running rambles.
  
  Recent Running Realizations
  
  1. Having a goal gives you motivation, like seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.
  
  2. Running makes you leaner, as long as you don’t eat cupcakes after every run.
  
  Though I’d sure love to have one of these every morning…and night.
  
  3. Running uphill is necessary, because life is all about steady progress towards a positive slope. No time for stagnant straight lines. Improvements spark success.
  
  4. Carbs….
  
  …on carbs…
  
  …on carbs…
  
  5. A run, is a run, is a run. I had complete peace about a couple “only two milers,” and never stressed about my pace. In fact my pace improved! Hard work gets results.
  
  6. Running makes you rich. Physically, mentally, spiritually, and sometimes literally.
  
  Always finding money on my runs.
  
  7. Running is the perfect way to de-stress. I’d be lying if I said this supervisor stuff wasn’t stressful at times during the learning process.
  
  8. Doing things with other people keeps you accountable. One of my coworkers was running allllll the miles too, and we would send each other completed run photos.
  
  Then we would go to Starbucks and Whole Foods, because runners need fuel.
  
  9. Running with short hair wins everything.
  
  10. Good shoes are like good friends. It’s always sad to say goodbye.
  
  I’ve been running in the same pair of shoes for…SIX years (with other shoes rotated in for a few of those years)!!! YEARS people. Runners know shoes need to be rotated every 5-6 months (or 500-600miles) so this is HUGE. Barefoot running has completed me in every possible way. The holes indicate it is now time for another pair.
  
  I think 100 mile months are a new thing.
  
  My last words of wisdom for the day are…
  
  You can do ANYTHING you set your mind to, so go out there and DO IT!
  
  Q: What have you set your mind to and accomplished lately?

- Keeping Busy
  
  Posted at 7:56 AM by Brittany, on May 26, 2015
  
  As I mentioned in my previous post I’ve spent the last couple weeks training to be a supervisor. This keeps me busy while I am at work, but there are things that have kept me busy when I’m away from work too. Things like…
  
  …house/Pet sitting. I spent last Sunday-Friday with the fluff ball shown below, and we spent a lot of time soaking up the sun. My Jun/Jul are both full of sitting.
  
  She’s much fluffier than the last time we spent time together.
  
  …running everyday. I’m feeling quite fantastic. I think once 100 mile May is over I’ll need to set another running goal for June to keep the party going.
  
  …putting time and effort into my dinners. Despite the fact that an apple and pretzels always sounds like a good option, potatoes are better.
  
  There are six in this photo, though hard to see. For those of you that wonder where non meat eaters get their protein, this meal had a solid 20 grams. 😉
  
  Potato heaven.
  
  …figuring out what to do with the growth atop my head. After realizing my mop was turning into…a mop, I chopped it off. Sometimes I’m very impetuous.
  
  View from the back..
  
  To keep it real though here is how I will look the remainder of my days.
  
  The above photo of it straight, along with my main blog photo were both taken the day I got it cut (blog photo was last May’s haircut) because my stylist straightened it. Then it never see’s the flat iron again. I don’t like it straight, and I’m lazy.
  
  …spending moneys. I never spend money, so this is a big one. Except on food, which I do plenty of. REI knows how to work a bargain though with their anniversary sale. I walked in for new running shoes, and walked out with a jacket, a bag, and no shoes.
  
  Both were on sale, and when you see a forest green back that doubles as a backpack and a handle bag, you buy it. It was time I upgraded my overnight bag from a reusable Whole Foods bag to something a bit sturdier.
  
  I like busy, busy is good.
  
  Q: What’s kept you busy lately?

- Bye Bye Barista
  
  Posted at 7:23 AM by Brittany, on May 21, 2015
  
  This past Monday I said goodbye to my job as a barista, and hello to my new job as a supervisor. In the Starbucks world once you become a supervisor you are no longer considered a barista. However, in the textbook world I will forever be a barista as long as I am with the company because I will still be making beverages for customers, but I now have a few extra tasks and responsibilities added to my day. I digress…
  
  In typical Brittany fashion I spent the days leading up to this change enjoying the “carefree” barista life both in and out of work. I spent my days exploring, eating, meeting blog friends, and drinking good coffee. My kind of perfection.
  
  { Exploring }
  
  A 9.5 mile hike through the Olympic Forest with perfect weather, and good company.
  
  { Eating }
  
  Whole Foods in Seattle carries baked goods from my favorite local bakery, and naturally I had to ~~hoard them~~ stock up.
  
  I balanced out the sugar with vegetable rolls.
  
  { Meeting Blog Friends }
  
  After years of blog reading, texting, letter writing, package sending, and patience, I finally got to meet my Canadian soul mate, Britta.
  
  We met up at the Starbucks Roastery, because…Seattle.
  
  What a gem. We drank great coffee and talked like old friends.
  
  Side note: The coffee I had at the roastery (photo above) literally blew my mind. This roast has a medium body, & a low acidity giving it a sensationally silky mouth feel. The chocolate notes were the strongest I’ve ever experienced in a coffee. It was like the beans were flavored, but they weren’t. What a beautiful coffee.
  
  { Drinking Good Coffee }
  
  Good enough segue? As if that Brazil reserve roast wasn’t good enough, I snagged myself a bag of Pike Place Reserve beans from the first Starbucks store in Seattle.
  
  Not to be confused with the traditional Pike Place roast served at any and all Starbucks locations, these beans are ONLY sold at this location, and one other store a block up from the original Starbucks. Darker than the standard Pike Roast and SO much better. It’s a real treat when I get this as my weekly coffee markout.
  
  Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a French press of Pike Place special reserve to drink while I enjoy my day off from training. Back to the grind tomorrow.
  
  Q: How do you like to spend your free time?

- Tic -vs- Toc
  
  Posted at 6:42 AM by Brittany, on May 18, 2015
  
  The last few months I’ve been paying extra attention to what foods make me tick, and what foods make me tock. I have become somewhat of a walking science project.
  
  All this time I just assumed the broccoli was to blame, and I learned to live with it. We all know what happens when broccoli and gut bugs dance together.
  
  Come to find out, it wasn’t just the cruciferous vegetables. I’ve been keeping my eats very simple lately while I try to decipher the codes my stomach bugs are trying to tell me. Fruits and seeds all morning, and vegetables galore at night.
  
  Typical dinner plate.
  
  This has made it easy to figure out what foods are causing problems. So far I’ve noticed problems with peanut butter, walnuts, most soy products, and chocolate.
  
  Hang on, I need a moment of silence for that last one.
  
  My simple eats have kept me feeling great, but once every few days I notice I need somewhat of a “refuel.” Different carbs, more protein, and some kind of treat.
  
  Like a cookie.
  
  I’ve been running every day this month, which has added to the insatiable hunger every few days. My lower mile days (3 miles) I get by just fine with fewer calories, but after a 5 miler last week I couldn’t get enough food in my face fast enough.
  
  I drove to one of my favorite lakes for this run, and the weather was perfect. The thing about running everyday is that it becomes somewhat…easy. My pace has already improved in the mere 18 days straight I’ve been running.
  
  Post run I had one thing on my mind: scones. I made my way to Whole Foods only to find they had no scones. My soul and stomach were empty and cold, like the inside of an ice cave. Instead, I ate potatoes and veggies from the hot bar, and braced myself for the tornado I would soon become in my kitchen.
  
  The moment I walked in the door it was game over. I ate enough to put my daily intake around 3000 calories, and I was completely satisfied. Refuel complete.
  
  It looked like this, multiple items sprawled in front of me, and pure determination on my face.
  
  It’s a magical thing when you discover what foods cause inflammatory, lethargic, and skin irritating reactions, like walking through the doors to Narnia. Does this mean I’m never going to eat chocolate again? Heavens no I still have my dignity, but it will be minimal and as close to raw as possible. Let the experimentation continue!
  
  Oh, and I finally got my scone. Plus another.
  
  Q: Do you stay away from certain foods that cause you problems? Knowing some of the culprits makes it much easier to stay away from them.

- Facts
  
  Posted at 6:00 AM by Brittany, on May 12, 2015
  
  Fact: A good human being gives you food. Lord help them if I get hangry…
  
  These CORE bars are complete meals on the go, and they are SO good! My favorite part? They perish. 1 week on the go, 1 month in the fridge, and 9 months in the freezer: Real food goes bad. Perfect for hiking, biking, or running late to work.
  
  These were gifted to me, but you can find them online or at a select handful of Whole Foods locations. Eat good, feel good.
  
  Fact: Potatoes are the essence of life. I cannot stop eating them. All of them.
  
  Sweet potato the size of a walrus with veggies. I then ate half with almond butter and honey.
  
  Sweet potatoes with rosemary.
  
  Russet potato along side this plate of color explosions
  
  Sweet potato with veggies. And then another one for dessert. Can’t stop, won’t stop.
  
  Gold potatoes with spinach and asparagus.
  
  Fact: I’ve become the Mary Poppins of pet sitting. Four pets in the last 2 months.
  
  Said goodbye to this guy…
  
  …and said hello to this guy (again)
  
  Maybe I’ll quit my day job….
  
  Maybe not. I did just get promoted after all. #ifinallysaidyes
  
  Fact: Summer is coming. I’ve started prepping for minimal clothing season by partaking in a running “challenge.” 100 mile May. Amateur stuff for those ultra runners, but it keeps me running daily even if just 3-4 miles.
  
  It helps balance out the potatoes…
  
  Fact: Bananas are under-appreciated. I’ve been dipping mine into a mix of seeds: hemp, sunflower, and pumpkin. Or with a Core bar…or both. 😉
  
  Scratch that…fruit in general. I’m literally eating at least 6-7 servings a day right now.
  
  Fact: I sometimes change out of running clothes, but it’s rare.
  
  Fact: This post was nothing more than a giant excuse to purge random photos I’ve taken the last two weeks in a format other than my usual Early Morning Confessions.
  
  I’ll leave you with a photo of some of the worst coffee I’ve consumed in months. Tasted like foot soaked bath water. I still drank it.
  
  Waiting for an oil change is a luxurious event. Fully equipped with PJ’s and terrible coffee.
  
  Q: What’s your fact for the day?

- Crave, Eat, Heal – Blog Tour & Giveaway
  
  Posted at 5:00 AM by Brittany, on May 7, 2015
  
  This giveaway is now closed.
  
  When I first started blogging I didn’t eat a completely plant based diet. I didn’t eat meat, but it wasn’t until a year into sharing my life and my stories with the world that I dove head first into all things plants. One of the first blogs I started to connect with on this plant based adventure was Annie’s blog, An Unrefined Vegan.
  
  I mean, how adorable is she!?
  
  Annie is the mastermind behind the popular biannual Virtual Vegan Potluck, an online plant based party I’ve participated in multiple times.
  
  One of my potluck items, these were so good.
  
  Annie’s blog is original, unique, and full of wholesome plant based recipes. She is my kind of people. It was only a matter of time before Annie wrote her own cookbook, which I’m pleased to share with you today. To celebrate her hard work and gorgeous recipes, I happily agreed to share one of her many creations.
  
  I’m also offering you all a chance to win a copy of this book for your own home.
  
  When choosing which recipe I wanted to share I struggled between something chocolate, and something savory. After much deliberation, and realizing my blood was becoming tainted with too much chocolate I chose savory.
  
  I don’t eat cheese, but once every blue moon I get a desire for some kind of hearty nacho or mac and cheese dish. The prepackaged vegan options are usually sketchy, so I was stoked to find Annie created her own version from one of my favorite vegetables…
  
  Butternut squash!
  
  Photo cred: Annie
  
  To get the full affect of this dish I tried it both with pasta, and with chips. Both equally delicious, and not a drop was spared. Below is Annie’s recipe, including the words directly from her book. Enjoy!
  
  This recipe was inspired by an appetizer at Matthew Kenney’s now-defunct “plant-based Mexican kitchen,” Tamazul, in Oklahoma City. While everything I’ve eaten there has been delicious, fresh, and creative – their queso impressed me more than any other dish. I was too shy to ask how they made it, so I set about creating my own version.
  
  This also makes a delicious sauce for mac ’n’ cheez.
  
  Gluten-free, Oil-free, Easy
  
  BUTTERNUT SQUASH QUESO
  
  Makes ~2 cups
  
  INGREDIENTS
  
  2 cups roasted* butternut squash
  
  1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked 8-12 hours, rinsed and drained
  
  1 Tbsp. white miso paste
  
  2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  
  1 1/2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
  
  1 tsp. dried onion flakes
  
  1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
  
  1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  
  1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
  
  1/4 tsp. cumin powder
  
  1/4 tsp. turmeric
  
  Water, as needed
  
  DIRECTIONS
  
  Add all of the ingredients to a high-speed or regular blender and process until very smooth. You will need to tamp down the ingredients and add water – just a little at a time – during processing to get a very smooth texture.
  
  Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan and gently heat. Serve warm with baked tortilla chips or fresh steamed vegetables. Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  
  Prep time: 10 minutes
  
  Cook time: 5 minutes
  
  Suggestions:
  
  Try using pumpkin puree or roasted sweet potato in place of the butternut squash.
  
  Reserve 1 cup of the queso to make Cheddar Cheez (see recipe on page XX).
  
  If you like it spicy, stir in a 1/4 cup of fresh, diced jalapeño peppers (or pickled jalapeños) – or for milder flavor – stir in a 1/4 cup of roasted red bell pepper.
  
  *Here’s how I roast a butternut squash: Preheat the oven to 425-degrees and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Cut off the squash’s stem and pierce the skin a few times with a knife. Place the whole squash on the baking sheet and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the flesh of the squash is very soft (I test it by inserting a knife). The skin will be shiny and dark brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before handling. Peel off the skin, then break open the squash and scoop out the seeds.
  
  Recipe reprinted with permission from Ann Oliverio and Front Table Books.

  I licked my bowl, because I have no shame and it was THAT good.
  
  For your chance to win a copy of Annie’s book simply leave me a comment telling me your favorite vegetable, and your favorite way to use it! If you’d like to purchase a copy of Annie’s book, you can find it here.

- Love Yourself, Love Your Life
  
  Posted at 8:38 AM by Brittany, on April 30, 2015
  
  I spend a solid amount of my time alone, simply because I enjoy spending time with myself. When I’m alone there is no one around to dictate what I do, or where I go. I can leisurely wander new locations, and I can eat at places I want to to eat.
  
  My favorite ways to explore are through food, coffee, wandering, and nature. Not many people think kale is Gods gift to earth, most people drink coffee and it all tastes the same to them, and only a few people I’ve come in contact with think spending an entire day (or days) in the mountains without a shower sounds like fun.
  
  Being alone means I worry about no one but myself. Go on, be selfish for YOU.
  
  I find great joy in the simple pleasures of life like walking along the water with the sun kissing my face, or meandering through antique shops soaking in the history.
  
  Discovering what makes you tick is like stumbling upon a $100 bill outside your front door. It’s a gift that you have no choice but to accept.
  
  I love the handful of friends I have, which is really more like a finger full these days, but I’ve become quite comfortable spending time alone. I wasn’t always this way, so I consider this a long awaited blessing. If you rely on other people for your happiness, what would happen if you were forced to be alone?
  
  I’m a simple person, living a simple life. I don’t work a 9-5 stable job, I don’t own a mansion in Italy, and I don’t have a strong mountain climbing husband to rub my feet after a long day. I work a job I enjoy (for now), I follow my heart when it leads me to things that make me happy, and I trust my gut when it tells me life is good.
  
  I (try to) love what I have instead of dwelling on what I don’t. At the end of the day life goes on whether you have a rolex on your wrist or tattered jeans on your legs.
  
  I don’t know where all this inner tree hugging granola talk comes from, but when it wants to escape I let it. Holding things in almost always results in discomfort. Case in point: the morning after a dinner full of cruciferous vegetables. Let it out..let..it..out.
  
  If the idea of being alone scares you, I challenge you to face the fear. Go somewhere alone like a coffee shop or a park. If you’re feeling wild go to a restaurant or a movie. Love yourself enough to be alone, and life becomes a new adventure full of light.
  
  They say you can’t love someone else until you love yourself, and I finally get it.
  
  Bring on the love. 😉
  
  Q: Do you enjoy spending time alone, or do you rely on others to go do things? I enjoy being alone perhaps a bit too much…. #loner.

- Lately I’m Loving…
  
  Posted at 6:45 AM by Brittany, on April 27, 2015
  
  …garlic, roasted and lathered in olive oil and herbs laying atop vegetables.
  
  …weekly lake runs, the only run consisting of further than 4 miles lately.
  
  …handmade vegan soaps, because they SMELL SO GOOD.
  
  …Wayward Vegan Cafe. I don’t eat a lot of bread, in fact I don’t even keep it in my house. When I do eat bread it’s usually in the form of a baked good, and often it’s gluten free. This keeps things moving right inside my tubes, and helps to ensure I don’t crash like a kamikaze plane.
  
  Stolen from YELP
  
  I’ve been dreaming about waffles for…forever, and I decided it was time to get one.
  
  I didn’t take a photo, because I was too busy conversing with the adorable solo diner to my left. This place just draws you in to feel comfortable dining solo, which was prime opportunity for sparking up a conversation with my fellow diner.
  
  My waffle was everything I’d hoped for, full of doughy bready goodness. Looks like I’ll need to go back for another one, oh darn.
  
  …sunshine and coffee. Slowing down to sip and savor.
  
  …alarm free wake up calls. I’ve been training a new hire at work, and he isn’t available until the afternoon. This means my early morning start times have been pushed to afternoon start time a few days a week. I don’t hate waking with the sun.
  
  Aka waking up at 6am instead of 4am.
  
  …giving back. My Starbucks family and I volunteered with our local park volunteers to help pull up one of the many noxious weeds – scotch broom!
  
  …life. Pretty self explanatory.
  
  Q: What are you loving lately?
