Toast with Cherry, Yogurt, and Honeycomb

This week we’re in Washington. After a few stops to get fresh produce in the neighborhood, I knew I wanted to share this delicious take on a breakfast toast. At this point, toast has grown in popularity and can be found at any cafe. Paired with a Gibraltar or Capp, it’s filling, looks stunning, and takes minimal prep.

Happy July 1st everyone!

With the start of this month, marks the start of a travel season for us. It’s a balance between hustle and adventure. Working toward taking time hoff has never been such a true sentiment.

It’s amazing how quickly June has flown by and I know July will fill the same way.
