Exactly as the title of this post implies, today I am merely here to share some photographs with you. These are mostly ones I have not shown on the blog before because they didn't quite fit in anywhere; but I like them nonetheless. So they have now found a home in this post about nothing in particular. The pictures below are from a hike I completed by myself whilst on a camping trip I went on with my family towards the end of summer. It was a lovely and much-needed get-away, and additionally it reminded me how much I LOVE potatoes! Since the trip I have been enjoying steamed potatoes for dinner most nights; usually along with tomatoes from the garden, other steamed veggies and organic corn (dinner is my cooked meal of the day, if I have one). I believe simple whole foods are the secret to health - not that it's much of secret, but more of an under-advertised fact.
I took a few photos in the kitchen this summer for a feature on a beautiful blog called Balue/Co. You see them below. I think they highlight the Dutch and Thai vibes we have going through the whole house. My parents fell in love with each other while volunteering in Thailand and remains a large part of their lives; and my mom has Dutch roots. She also has a collection of wooden clogs she continues to add to whenever she can. I think she needs to sign up for Hoarders Anonymous, but that is another story.
Here's some food - and kind of an example of what I eat in a day - lots of fruit with some lightly cooked veggies. I love fruit smoothies and juice, as well as mono-meals of fruit like mangoes, apple, pears, peaches, grapes, grapefruit, berries, papaya, and others. I eat this throughout the day and then in the evening I will enjoy a giant bowl of steamed vegetables (broccoli, potatoes, yams, zucchini, etc.) and/or non-sweet fruits (tomatoes, cucumber, peppers etc.).
Below we have some images from the garden, bravely sprouting new life as the months grow gradually cooler. Winter is coming. But first - fall.
Important to note: Dante is perfection manifested in a feline's body, FYI.

Yeees yeees yeees agree on the last part 110 %! Love raw desserts. Best discovery ever! Beautiful pics you are sharing with us. Many hugs your sisters!
What a lovely summer you've had :) Do you steam your vegetables because you don't like them raw or is it because you don't want to be "set apart" at dinner time?
Swoon....! Gorgeous gorgeous photos. Love your home décor and the scenery around you is simply beautiful.
Dante is super cute by the way, and perfect name :)
Beautiful photos - and YES, monomeals are amazing!!!!!!!!
My favorite photo of all of them was the basil photo - was that a PURPLE BASIL plant in the middle??
yes it was :D
At the end of the day (especially in colder months) I just want a giant bowl of warm, soft food :)
Emily I have just found your blog recently after searching out raw recipes online. I am starting a blog of my own and was fishing for inspiration. I must say that your blog is spectacular! Gorgeous! Your photos are outstanding! I could go on but I'll spare you the embarrassment. I have been vegan/gluten free for 3 years and I am toying with the idea of going raw but I have the exact same outlook on it as you. I do enjoy cooked foods but like the idea of being raw most of the time, my tummy likes it better:) Anyway on another note, I live in Vancouver also and I really need to meet some more like minded people. Do you know of any potlucks or anything going on that I could go to? I read about the one at Eternal Abundance but wasn't sure if it's a public or invite only type of thing. I'd love to hear back from you. Thanks! ~Zoe
Such stunning photos! And I feel the same way about my cat, Marley :)
Oooh-I see Birkenhead! Love that place!
