Spring time!

Today was sunny and happy.  Even when I feel completely like death and tired it is ten times better than when I feel that way in the winter.  In accordance I decided to make an 8 track to go along!  Listen to it!!

Roll down the windows and sing along

I hope you enjoy :)

Apple pie ala mode

Okay no not really.  But I did make healthy (ish) apple pie pancakes!

recipe:

Apple Pie Whole Wheat Pancakes

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 TBL baking powder
• 1 tsp apple pie spice
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 cups low fat milk

• 2 eggs
• 2 TBL honey
• 1 TBL canola oil
• 1 grated apple (I used apple sauce instead. It was all I had!)

MMMMMM. You know you want some!!

Wanna make it even better: BE FRIENDS WITH MEGAN RANEGAR!! hehe.

She gave me this for ma' bday.

A Blissful Picnic

Winter is awful. I do not participate.  It is full of sweatpants every day a constant groan and awfulness.

winter.

springtime is full of hope and joy and renewal! There is nothing better than laying on a blanket in the sun and having a picnic with friends or family and just forgetting about the time and letting your mind wander....

not winter!

A beautiful morning

Recipe for this:

Volume 1 and 2 of She & Him

+
A beautiful 55 degree day full of sunshine

+
a wonderful bran muffin coated in butter and some great coffee

= simplicity equals love.


side note: I also finished the book Life Without Limits this morn and highly recommend it.  It is about a man born without limbs and he has really found his purpose in Christ and his life is incredibly motivating and inspiring.  He does more without limbs than most people do with all four! The optimism he portrays and growth he has experienced through hard times are really somethin to learn from!  Go out and read already!

Damn it feels good to be a Gangsta.

Mckenzie Granola- I did it!

So today I was really craving some Mckenzie granola.  I checked the cupboards and we seemed to have the obvious ingredients so I went to Quaker oats and found a recipe that looked similar! The only surprise was grated lemon peel- thank you family for having this!

The Granola.

The craisens and nuts were my own addition- i know. so innovative.
