This week on Danielle's Digest you'll see what I've been reading, eating, and some details of upcoming events for my third cookbook, Celebrations! Ryan and I also celebrated out 9th anniversary so you'll see a picture from our wedding day and a peek into our day date to celebrate!

9 years. He has been my best friend, my support through everything I've done with AAG, he's nursed me back to health from near-death multiple times, given me 3 beautiful children, and held me together when our world fell apart. I could not ask for a better partner in this life.

Hey Bay Area, CA friends! Save the date!!! ?? The tickets for the Celebrations release party are now on sale! Get yours HERE. I can't wait to see you there!

For the rest of the US and Canada, see my events page to find out when I'm coming to your city!

This breakfast was easy because I planned ahead and kept sausages in the freezer! This time around I used Primal Palate breakfast seasoning, ground pork and snuck some chicken liver in there again because I'm trying to incorporate it into our diets more. See last week's digest to see how I'm getting the kids to eat it more often and why!

The kids were with the grandparents so Ryan & I went out for a day date to celebrate our anniversary! We ended up doing mostly errands (browsing Target and Whole Foods without children is such a joy!) but we had a lovely brunch and massages as well! We had brunch at a new local favorite, Main Street Kitchen. Their chicken apple sausage with avocado, organic poached eggs and salsa verde was delicious.

I got my shipment of my author copies of Celebrations! This little dude was all about climbing up them. (And don't worry everyone, we had two people standing right there!)

Our pumpkin leaves had white mold all over them, so we picked them early this weekend. We tried the milk solution but it didn't work, so Happy (early) Fall!!! I was excitedly flipping straight to the Autumn, Halloween and Thanksgiving chapters of Celebrations the day that we picked all of these.

So often I'm asked what I feed the kids in the morning. So here's one of Asher's smoothies! I added a little grass-fed plain yogurt (Trader Joes sells it now!) and almond butter for fat and protein, spinach, mango, banana, raspberries, water, probiotics and collagen. He loved it!

I add collagen to our smoothies for digestive health and immune support. Other benefits of collagen peptides include- it promotes youthful skin, healthier hair, and stronger nails, helps keep bones healthy and strong, supports joint health, contributes to a balanced diet and helps maintain weight, supports healthy inflammation response due to overexercise, and the natural glycine improves sleep quality.

This past Wednesday I took over Anthropologie's snapchat and showed you all some of my favorite local spots! This was an almond milk cappuccino at a favorite coffee shop of mine. I had so much fun over on the Anthropologie snapchat! Stay tuned next Thursday because I'll be at an exclusive sneak peek party for the store and will be snapping some insider pictures of the beautiful new mega-store in Walnut Creek, CA! This anthro girl is very happy about all of this!

This is what dinner looks like when I had fun all day ? The kids had Grain-Free Chicken Nuggets and salad and I finally got around to dinner myself after I fed them! I love Diestel brand turkey, sliced fresh from the deli counter. I also added some horseradish kraut to this after I took the picture too because it was boring!

My little curly redhead! Sleepy face after a nap are my favorite.
This little dude is just the cutest. And mini suspenders just makes him even cuter!

Fall means cookbook season!! I'm so excited to thumb through these books over the next few months. Also, you guys are always asking for more spiralized recipes so I especially think you guys will love the new Inspiralize Everything book by Ali Maffucci. You can find the other three here- Fed & Fit, Eating Clean, and Meat on the Side.

My new Lemon Bar recipe from Celebrations is nut-free and thoroughly being enjoyed by my launch team members! I can't wait for the rest of you to get these recipes!

Here is another photo from my Celebrations Launch Team trying out recipes from Celebrations! They're all loving this Heirloom Tomato and Watermelon salad and I think you will too!

My Celebrations Launch Team has the recipes from the book and apparently the ‘Corn' Bread is everyone's favorite!! They all cooked up a Labor Day storm last weekend so make sure to follow along at #CelebrationsCookbook on Instagram to see some recipes that you'll get on September 27th!! You can get the book HERE!
