The solo part

Another reason I love this weekend: the perfect balance of me time + friend time + zero grad school time!

The first part of yesterday was my new favorite Saturday routine. I started with a mini-breakfast of 1/3 cup overnight maple-free maple oats topped with blueberries and SOTBPPDCS butter:

This teeny serving was perfect to fuel me up for Saturday morning’s hot yoga class. After yoga, I tore back down to Brooklyn to pick up the CSA. Kate is out of town this weekend, so I was responsible for getting the whole share. After the photo shoot, I split everything in half so Kate can come collect her stuff on Tuesday when she’s back.

You can tell summer is finally here by the expanding variety of exciting goods: head of green lettuce, head of broccoli, head of red lettuce, 3 pints blueberries, garlic scapes, snap peas, bok choy, 2 zucchinis, Swiss chard, 1/2 dozen eggs, and “braising greens.”

The most exciting part:

Once all of the produce was sorted and processed, I put together mini-breakfast part 2, this time with 1/3 cup of scary-weight-management-powder-turned-delicious-vanilla-yogurt-chia-goji-pudding.

On the side, I sliced 1/4 of the chayote from Friday night and dipped it into this organic hot mango chutney from Native Forest. The chutney was pretty pretty hot, so it paired perfectly with the refreshing watery crunch from the chayote.

My snacky little spread:

Shortly thereafter, it was time to head out for the social segment of the day, along with some good old-fashioned 4th of July festivating!

What do you crave more on weekends: solo time or social time?
