Sometimes my food is weird. Sometimes my food is delicious. Sometimes it’s ugly. Today, it was beautiful…
I think fruit is always gorgeous. Especially in the morning sunlight.
Today’s fruit mix was apple, banana, mango, blackberry, coconut, walnuts, almonds and cinnamon with vanilla soy milk. It was beautiful and the taste did not disappoint either. Actually, breakfast is rarely disappointing.
See? Beauty.
You know who doesn’t think breakfast is beautiful?
This guy.
Meeker is not a morning person. I most certainly am. This was the first time we had eaten breakfast together in years, and while he prefers silence for the first hour of his day, I prefer to antagonize him with mindless chatter and by whipping out my camera. In fact, when I took this picture, he had just finished saying: Take your finger off the trigger. Now. (The trigger being the camera button – apparently this picture was just as painful as if I had a gun in my hand).
After Meeker forgave me for the breakfast table shenanigans, we went to the dog park. It was so warm and wonderful. We walked IN the river for most of the time we were there, and we returned home muddy, wet and smiling. Oh, and hungry.
Lunch was beautiful meal number two…
I think vegetables and eggs are pretty. Even in a close up…
Yup, food is beautiful.
Even something as simple as coffee can be beautiful. It doesn’t hurt that brown is one of my favorite colors. Yes, brown. It’s a favorite.
Normally, I like my morning coffee black. No cream, no sugar. But if I’m looking for an afternoon pick-me-up, I almost always add (soy) milk and stevia.
Another beautifully simple thing? Coffee ice cubes. When they melt, they don’t dilute your wonderful coffee concoction. Delightful, no? Just pour the leftovers from the coffee pot into ice cube trays and store in your freezer. Easy peasy.
Dinner was just as lovely…
Turkey meatballs on top of cucumber, jicama and a lime juice + agave dressing…all sprinkled with chili powder
Okay, maybe meatballs are inherently beautiful, but anytime I can be outside eating dinner – it’s a beautiful thing.
And dessert is always beautiful. Even when it’s just scooped out of a carton.
What foods do you think are beautiful? For me, fruit always wins a foodie beauty contest, and dessert is a close second – no matter what it is.
Fruit always! Dessert, too. And sometimes…breakfast!
Wow, you did have tons of beautiful food today! Haha, I am exactly like Meeker – I definitely do NOT like chatter during the first few hours of my day, unless it’s coming from characters on Boy Meets World
I think eggs are absolutely beautiful, along with berries and colorful/complicated sandwiches.
And brownies. Always brownies.
I think berries are beautiful! Dessert can be beautiful too, especially when you take taste into consideration.
I’ve been eating blackberries like they are going extinct. Unfortunately I haven’t had any for a few days and now my craving is out of control!
I’m sooo not a morning person either. I can’t form coherent sentences for the first hour or so that I’m awake! And coffee, that helps! Food IS beautiful! Usually all raw and unprocessed food is the best looking. Just the way God created it, don’t you agree

Your picture are looking great! And is his name really Meeker? Just like in Juno? . . . or was that Bleeker? Anyway. . . I like it.
Nope. Its Kromeekrious.
But really its Michael.
WOW! You did have a beautiful food day! Those eggs stole the show! YUM!
I think all fruit is gorgeous too, but berries are far and away the most photogenic!
awww meeker is adorable!!
i love fresh fruits and veggies – farmer’s markets are one of the most beautiful places to me!
it’s funny you mentioned the coffee thing b/c i always drink it black too except for when i need that jolt in the afternoon, then i always get an iced soy latte!
Fruit is always beautiful! You had a great food day!
Meeker and my hubby could have been twins today…my husband was not happy that morning arrived today and has been walking around like a zombie since he got up!
HAHA. We are the SAME person. That’s exactly what mornings are like for my Mike and I. He mumbles maybe 3 words while I’m running circles around him.
You definitely had a day of delicious eats – THAT LUNCH!! I want it right now. Is there really anything better than veggies, avocados and eggs!? Maybe that ice cream
I miss you friend! I hope your week is going well!
Ice cream is always beautiful.
And I think I’m pretty grumpy, too, until at least after I’ve had a full breakfast.
i agree fruit is always beautiful! I also love smoothies!! they can be so ‘dressed up’ although I dont dress mine up nearly as much as some others, they are always pretty on camera
hahhaa cute picture of Meeks 
I dated a guy who was definitely not a morning person (whereas I sort of am). I often jumped out of bed and said, “let’s go do breakfast!” He often laid there and said, “are you f-ing kidding?”
I think golf balls in fruit baskets are beautiful
. I seriously raced to the comments to see if anyone else had called you out on that yet. Winner: me. Haha, I love it.
OH, and I am totally a don’t talk to me or I may kill you with my dagger eyes kind of morning person! That may have something to do with waking up at 4:20 though
.
Haha, I didn’t even KNOW that golf ball was in there until you said something!! I was like “What is she TALKING about??” – good call. You most definitely win.
My school year alarm goes off at 4:20 as well – I am most definitely NOT as chipper at that hour.
all this food is beautiful! fruit is always so pretty! unless it’s moldy. haha
Brown is one of my fave colors also! Especially in clothes.
Fruit is always so pretty! Especially berries! Colorful veggies and chocolate are gorgeous too. Not together though. On second though, that might be quite delicious
Dang, those are some beautiful eggs.
My most favorite beautiful foods are salads and grilled vegetables. Altho I do make my own salads (and they can be quite pretty), nothing delights me more than a particularly stunning salad set before me at a restaurant. I have been known to clap my hands when presented with an outstandingly beautiful salad.
Which reminds me: I’ve got to get to Whole Foods and buy me a salad!
I really loved this post. All the food looks fantastic, healthy and pure. No processed junk and it’s all fresh and vibrant. Love.
I’m a morning person in that I like to get up early but don’t even think about talking to me until I wash my face, pee and brush my teeth. My husband will try to talk to me in bed and I just grunt at him.
Beautiful post
My bf is also not a morning person, but I’m getting to him, he’s improving 
Fruit is always beautiful, oh, and sushi of course
Awww…. Meeker is so cute, sweet, and loving. I would just want to give him a quiet hug in the mornings…. although I’m pretty chatty myself at that time of day
Your food IS colorful and fresh! Beautifully put together and well-photographed.
I love looking at beautifully decorated dishes in restaurants…like fish on top of veggies with a perfect looking sauce placed on top. My meals are so halphazard though that it really doesn’t take much to make thing something is beautiful!
Apparently I can’t type – I meant haphazard!
what a beautiful day of eats girl. meeker’s picture made me laugh.
i think fruits are the prettiest
and the best eating.
Haha, my husband is exactly like Meeker in the mornings!!
I think most fruits and vegetables are beautiful!! Berries are probably the most beautiful of all to me.
Fruit is always gorgeous to me too!
I was just thinking that the other day, how I am always happy with breakfast! I agree yours is looking quite beautiful!
Bread is almost always beautiful (to me) but I’ll take fruit or desert any day. My boyfriend is a total morning person and while I don’t mjnd being awake or even productive, I usually lik to be alone. That photo is priceless though!
Haha…I am such a morning person, and I’m sure I can be terribly annoying at times.
But still…with food that beautiful, it would be horrible to *not* document it, right? Of course!
Love your breakfast combination! I’ll be it tasted as good as it looks.
I am jealous of your yummy eats…it all looks fantastic.
I think that I can find beauty in any food that come from nature. Natural food is a gift that we are blessed with and are so lucky to have in such abundance.
Okay, I officially want your lunch, and if your dessert goes missing, you know where to look first.
I think fruit is also always beautiful, but I love pastas, especially when they’re gleaming with a dash of olive oil and tossed with fresh roasted veggies and sour cream…oh my gosh.
[...] I also loved hearing about the foods you deem beautiful. I think fruit was the winner, but also a lot of veggie/bread/pasta lovers out there. Food is beautiful. [...]
I love making my food look pretty! It makes it so much more fun to eat! – Vicky @vdubb.wordpress.com
[...] to men. *Cough*Matthew*cough* Most men I know have a hard time waking up in the morning. I know Katie’s Meeker is not a morning [...]
I brewed extra coffee today to freeze coffee cubes!
Coffee ice cubes!
Meeker! (Lol.) I so hope the man I’m gonna marry appreciates my morning side. :/ (I am so a morning person.)
Runny eggs!
Your huge tower of fruit! (Love it.)
