hi friends! if you follow me on instagram, you probably know i’ve been hopping around the states this past week. i’ve been on a work trip with my sweetie and we’ve spent a few days in summerland, nevada as well as a few in santa barbara, california. today, i get to go back to out old town, santa ynez and stay in our sweet little vine covered cottage! my bestie moved in after we left and i’m so excited to be able to spend some time with her and soak up the sunshine through our beautiful old home. i’m using this week for some much needed rejuvenation, so thank you for hanging in there with me! xox, bonnie

20 weeks, i’m halfway! :)

love, bonnie

i’m totally in love with the new prints over at the home ground- they are simply breathtaking! i wish i could visit this greenhouse and thumb through all the plants as i walk down each isle (i have a thing for greenhouses). it’s like succulent heaven in there! the new series of prints is by the talented miss megan boltz, which may look familiar to you if you remember this post? yes, i’ve been in love with this look and collection for a long time. which is why i’m so excited that they turned this shoot into a series of prints!

to celebrate the new collection, everything in the home ground shop is 25% off through sunday (4/7). yes, everything! just enter code ‘hometoroost25′ at checkout. so incredibly awesome!

so i’m off to make my own little order. head on over to the home ground’s shop and blog to see more!

sometimes i can find myself all wrapped up in the ‘go go go’ of this world, forgetting about my mission to lead a simpler way of life. just taking some time to soak in some images of simple moments can help me recenter myself, my goals and my priorities. i hope a few of these pictures will help you do the same!

do you find yourself getting caught up in the fast pace of this world? if so, how do you return to living a simpler life?

blog: green kitchen stories | pictured above: beet root soup

green kitchen stories is a food blog i just can’t get enough of. this incredible couple cooks amazing meals and photographs them to perfection. they focus on whole food, vegetarian dishes- most all of which i find easy to make vegan. here are a few of my favorites:

fig & walnut spaghetti | yoga pot | roost soup & purple potato chips | açaí bowl

blog: my new roots | pictured above: whole living detox plan

sarah b from my new roots is incredibly inspirational. she’s a holistic nutritionist and certified nutritional practitioner, and pairs incredible recipes with beautiful pictures as she let’s us in her life through her posts. she focuses on organic, whole foods and plant based meals, all of which are really yummy! here are a few of my favorites:

wild mushrooms on toast | spring spirit polenta | poppy seed-crusted butternut squash with kale and pomegranates | roasted kale and beets

blog: wolf and willow| pictured above: cacoa, berry and coconut crunch milk ice cream

quite possibly the blog i resonate with the most, nancy from wolf and willow is an incredible chef. all her recipes are vegan and sugar free- and absolutely amazing! a few of my favorites are:

sweet potato and orange mini loaves | potato, rosemary and blackberry pizza | spicy scramble with roasted red peppers | grilled tofu tortillas with beet slaw

blog: 101 cookbooks | pictured above: a lesson in juicing

i’ve talked about my endearment for 101 cookbooks before (see here), and i still pull favorite recipes from heidi’s site all the time. the recipes are classy- beautiful and special enough for dinner parties but simple enough to make for just two. the recipes are primarily vegetarian, and i find it very easy to make the few needed adjustments to make them vegan. here are a few of my favorites:

artisan rye bread | simple tomato soup | heirloom apple salad | sesame winter squash recipe

blog: my darling lemon thyme | pictured above: gluten free spiced orange chocolate chunk cookies

i’m in love with emma’s gluten free – dairy free recipes. she’s a talented chef who is passionate about cooking this way for her family, and the recipes are simply divine. here are a few of my favorites:

tofu herb and mango salad | teriyaki tofu with asparagus + snow peas | vegetarian dolmades | spring fennel, pear and pecan salad | spiced cauliflower with ginger

blog: sprouted kitchen | pictured above: squash and goat cheese empanadas

with an emphasis on local, seasonal and organic ingredeints, the seasons have never looked so good. incredible recipes, amazing photos and personable writings will make you fall in love with all things sprouted kitchen. here are a few of my favorites:

honey roasted pears | miso slaw | quinoa falafels | pumpkin black bean patties | roasted tomato soup
