The Conversation
First there was fairy bread, then there was cloud bread. What comes next? How can bread get even better than before? Rainbows, DUH! Starting with the coveted works of art hailing from Brooklyn's The Bagel Store (seriously, models pose with their bagels as accessories for Instagram photos), we're doing a few laps around rainbow food road. These 13 rainbow carbs you don't need but *definitely* want are simply impossible to resist.
THE Rainbow Bagel
You won't want to miss out on this colorful, tasty and straight-up magical breakfast. (via The Bagel Store)
Funfetti Cream Cheese
Don't worry non-New Yorkers. Magic is mailable. Once these beauts cease breaking the Internet, you can order a baker's dozen and whip up some funfetti cream cheese to stuff inside the rainbow. (via Studio DIY)
DIY Rainbow Bagels
Patience is a virtue, but some virtues are worth ditching when it comes to a rainbow slathered in full-fat schmear. So get ready to roll up your sleeves and start kneading. (via What Jew Wanna Eat)
Mini Rainbow Vanilla Bean Donuts
Turns out rainbow bagels are just the first stop in our quest for rainbow carbs. But we won't leave you drooling for long! Rainbow donuts are just as Instaworthy. (via Just Baked)
Conversation Heart Donuts
Pastel rainbow donuts make the base for these Valentine's Day treats. These might just be unicorn essence in food form. (via Aww, Sam)
Tie Dye Rainbow Donuts
Equally dividing dough into seven bowls, adding ROYGBIV food dye in the right proportions, struggling to get the rainbow look on point: Carb rainbows are a workout! Focus on the icing for a little less work and just as much of a WOW factor. (via Eugenie Kitchen)
Gluten, Egg + Dairy-Free Rainbow Donuts
Vegan, check. Gluten-free, check. Rainbow, check. These donuts are easy to make since they're simply a stacked rainbow versus a rainbow-in-one, but they will still be the hit of any breakfast table. (via Fork & Beans)
Easy Rainbow Cake
Moving on to the next category of rainbow rounds is this rainbow bundt cake. No you did not ingest hallucinogens. This cake is actually that colorful. (via Just a Taste)
Rainbow Cake Roll
Sure you've seen rainbow layer cakes but this take on making rainbows delicious is so brilliant. Dessert has never been quite so pretty has it? (via Tablespoon)
Rainbow Challah Bread
If you can't get a bagel for breakfast, why not try another Jewish delicacy in rainbow carb form? This rainbow challah is braided perfection. (via What Jew Wanna Eat)
Rainbow Pinwheel Cookies
How could we not include rainbow cookies dipped in rainbow sprinkles? That sugar spike you'll inevitably feel will taste amazing. (via Tablespoon)
Double Rainbow Cake
Rainbow on the inside. Rainbow on the outside. It's a recipe for colorful success and perfect for that birthday you've been planning. (via Brit + Co)
Rainbow Pancakes
Who doesn't want stacks on stacks? Start your morning with the glory of the rainbow with a ROYGBIV short stack. (via I am Baker)

Back in January, we introduced you to a feel-good cause to inspire your New Year's resolution: a walking challenge to help raise funds for the amazing cancer fighters at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I took part in the challenge with the Brit + Co team and ended up walking 105+ miles in January — it was awesome.
This spring, there's a new challenge on the horizon, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Big Climb. The ask: On May 15, 2021, you can step up to take cancer down by committing to climb 1,311 steps, walking 3.2 miles, or doing 440 chair step-ups at home as part of the Big Climb. If you need some motivation to bring movement back into your daily routine — look no further!
As always, it's free to sign up, but climbers are encouraged to set a fundraising goal to help beat cancer. We'll be organizing another Brit + Co team to step up, and I hope you'll join us too! Keep scrolling for a peek at where I'll be completing the challenge in my Los Angeles neighborhood around the hidden Silver Lake Stairs. Happy climbing!
Never underestimate the power of an accountability buddy! I asked my in-laws, my partner, and a few friends to join me so we can keep each other motivated and accountable in completing the challenge — virtual high-fives all around! Also, my dog Fox is a great climber, too.
An aesthetically pleasing backdrop is a huge motivator for me! I'm fortunate to have all sorts of painted steps around my neighborhood to keep the challenge interesting, but you can also keep cool inside with at-home chair step-ups.
Don't forget to share your progress on social — #BigClimb!
Feel free to break the challenge up if you need to by tackling half the distance in the AM and half at sunset. Here's me 1,311 steps later and ready for a break — but, think I earned this one!
