Happy Monday - Happy Food!

Food that makes me happy? Truth? Donuts!!!

Donuts make me happy...but so does cheese, french toast, fresh strawberries (still warm from the sun!), french fries, a crisp green apple, bacon, peanut butter and chocolate milkshakes, kefir, dried apricots and pretty much any fresh fruit.

Now I realize that I cannot grow bacon or french toast in my garden :-(  but I can grow some very yummy, very healthy, fruits and veggies. So that's my plan to add some happiness to my life through food! I have already planted strawberries, carrots, blackberries, mint and some green onions. When it gets a little warmer I am planning on adding some lettuce, tomatoes and herbs to the mix. Any additional suggestions would be much appreciated!

Not only will I get to have happy food on my table, but my son loves to garden with me (maybe he just like playing in the dirt?). That is a wonderful, happy side benefit that I look forward to!

So what food makes you happy? Link up any relevant post about food, recipes, restaurants - the sky's the limit (or just comment if you don't blog)! Grab the button, link up and check out some other posts. Thanks for stopping by for week 2 of Happy Monday!

Donation Update

Happy Monday!

It's half way through the year. This year, I am trying to donate on a monthly basis, instead of waiting until the end of the year. Here is my initial post explaining how I am trying to donate locally in my community and to make sure and support organizations that I use.

So an update...

May - Los Angeles Zoo: Always good to support your local zoo!
June - SAMO Fund: a local non-profit supporting Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area
July - Botanic Garden:  Since I run here weekly, I thought I should support them!

Still looking for ideas for the rest of the year! In August, I am planning on donating to my local food bank.
