Today marks the 60th day of Kevin and I living out of our suitcases. And, with just 7 days to go until we move from my parents’ house to our old home in Airdrie, we can’t help but yearn for some sunbeam watching, sweatpants wearing, napping action.

Last weekend was the first time in over 2 months(!), that I was able to set up a photo shoot, dust off my camera, plan a couple of recipes and spend the day in the kitchen cooking for you. It felt so good and grounding in every way possible.

And, to keep things simple, light and fresh (because I must admit, I was a bit slow in the kitchen) I made a raw, nut-based, chickpea-free hummus.

Strange, but when you soak macadamia nuts they almost get “woody” in a way. Very similar to chickpeas.

Make sure that you soak the nuts. If you don’t, you’ll end up with a nut butter consistency that just isn’t good at all.

Blah.

Tell me about a time where you’ve been away from home and secretly wished you were back living the simple life (as sweet as your vacation or escape may have been).
