healthy breakfast

making breakfast for yourself isnt always fun, and sometimes we just go without. but today i wanted a healthy meal so i started my day with a vegan, gluten free breakfast. This is a Gluten free bagel (whole foods frozen) toasted with avocado, tomato, olives and fresh cracked pepper instead of cream cheese it was dee-licious.

snowshoeing in the Never Summer mountains

Five friends and I snowshoed 2 miles into the Never Summer Mountains to a little hut stocked with firewood and bunk beds. we played in the snow till dark, built a fire in a wood stove and cooked delicious food. It snowed the entire trip, and was a beautiful winter wonderland. My first time in the mountains in months!
