I was so excited when my friend invited me to come see the victorian farmhouse she is renovating, which was originally built in 1840! The renovation process was underway when I arrived and they had ripped out a ton of the lath from the plaster walls. My creative wheels immediately started to spin! She told me to take as much as I wanted so I loaded a bunch of it in the van and now I’m getting busy! I have already made some gates – these would be so cute just hanging or leaning on a wall. Or even on a mantle! Trash to treasure ya’ll!

I can’t wait to see how my friend transforms this beautiful house. If only those walls could talk!

I spent a week at the Hiner Farm up in the Mountains for some much needed off-grid time! I sanded and re-painted the front porch while I was there – being the worker-bee that I am! It was a lot of work, but it felt good to be productive! That porch holds so many memories and I want to keep making great memories on it so I was so happy to fix it up!

That’s what’s for breakfast! This is my favorite breakfast – and not just while camping! Here’s what you need and how to make it:

Ingredients:

• 1 egg
• 1 piece of bread
• Butter
• 1 avocado
• Garlic hummus
• Fresh arugula
• crushed red pepper
• Ham (or prosciutto)
• Pico de Gallo
• Goat cheese
• Fresh fruit

Butter and toast the bread in a pan. Sizzle up the ham in the same pan. Cook the egg over-easy. Smear toast with garlic hummus and avocado. Sprinkle crushed red pepper. Add the cooked egg. Top with pico, goat cheese and fresh arugula. Enjoy with a side of fresh fruit!

This is one of my go-to camping recipes! It’s easy, sharable and such a crowd pleaser!

• Coconut Oil – this is perfect to use over an open fire because unlike olive oil, it has a higher smoke point and can be cooked at higher temperatures without the risk of burning your food!
• Chips
• Organic canned corn and black beans (rinsed) – remember to bring that can opener and the strainer!
• Salsa or Pico de Galo – Love this as an easy alternative to chopping tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, etc
• Shredded cheddar or Mexican Blend Cheese
• Don’t forget the sour cream!
• Add some Cilantro if you wish too.
