Third time at the beach today. The first was for walking, the second was for swimming/sun, and this last one was for sitting and enjoying the scene.

As if that isn’t wonderful enough, I get to ride my bike each time!

Packed my car with food, swimsuits, and my bike for a long weekend alone at the beach!

Time to get re-centered and recharged!

My work week is over, and I have a couple hours alone this evening. Psyched to have a little cheese plate, wine, and relax at home!

Yesterday we had our weekly seafood dinner, but couldn’t finish the beautiful seabass we had grilled.

Then I remembered a delicate fish soup I grew up eating in the Philippines, called Tinolang Isda. The broth was clear and flavored with ginger and lemongrass.

So I picked the meat off of the fish and made a stock with the bones last night.

Today, I strained it and added more ginger, garlic, and lemongrass, as well as fresh lime juice. This isn’t really a Tinola, but the flavors were so fresh and clean. I simmered carrots, onions, and oyster mushrooms in the broth, then added the fish, garden greens, rice noodles, basil, and chives.

It was so delicious!! Jeff and Amelia had both been pretty skeptical, but my flavor memories from childhood were clear enough to give me the confidence to go for it. We will surely be having more fish soups to make the most of our seafood. 😊

Let’s be honest...
Sometimes self-care looks like setting boundaries and holding them, and it’s really hard work.

But sometimes self-care is simple, and looks like taking some time to make totally delicious chocolate peanut butter cups for yourself to eat all week when you need them.

These are made with really dark chocolate, organic peanut butter sweetened with a little maple syrup, and topped with sea salt flakes.

They are so simple that you really don’t need a recipe, trust me.
- Melt your chocolate, pour it in your mold 1/4 of the way up.
- Let it harden in the freezer
- Put your peanut butter in, and put the rest of the chocolate over, sprinkle with salt and let harden in the fridge or freezer.

Beautiful sunrise this morning!

I was feeling the stresses of the state of the world as I went out for my walk, and it was so good to think about how the sun keeps rising and setting in its unique and glorious way, every day.
