Just a few photos that haven’t made it on the blog lately, for one reason or another.

Wait, there is only one reason.

BUSY-NESS!!

Well, and none of these were worthy enough to call for their own blog post, but maybe all 3 together can do the trick?

First.

In case you were wondering.

My too gooey, doughy, failed vegan + GF baking project did not go to waste.  For some reason, they were freakishly addicting.  Right, Kelsey?  Still not recipe worthy, but I’m workin’ on it!!

This was a blueberry cheese cake oat mix, topped with my cinnamon crunch almond butter, Love Grown Foods Granola, and the failed mini cakes.

What’s inside the oat mix?

  • 1/4c oat bran
  • 1/4c rolled oats
  • 1c milk
  • 3/4c water
  • 1/3c 2% cottage cheese, stirred in at the end
  • 1/2t vanilla, stirred in at the end
  • 1t honey

If the thought of cottage cheese in oats freaks you out, try ricotta!!  I haven’t yet, but I can 99.9% guarantee it would be outstanding.

Dinner last night?  Completely delicious, but completely a repeat.  Except that I cooked in some local, organic snap peas!  Perfect in this Curried Chickpea with Coconut Quinoa dish.   

Full of flavor + spice!

With a side of farm fresh kale chips!  Ahh, so nice to have the farmers market back again!

Breakfast today?  Man there are a lot of textures in this photo.  Not my favorite photo, but definitely a breakfast worth mentioned.  And yes, that is popcorn on top of the bowl.  I popped some last night, topped it with cinnamon + sucanat + kept a little for breakfast.  Good decision!

So what’s in this bowl?

  • popped amaranth 
  • leftover coconut quinoa
  • almonds
  • cinnamon sugar popcorn
  • cinnamon crunch almond butter
  • Love Grown Foods granola
  • and…a SMOOTHIE!

Instead of pouring milk on top, I made a mini smoothie and poured that on.  I don’t know what you would call this concoction, but it will be made again!

  • frozen cherries
  • milk
  • Greek yogurt
  • cinnamon
  • vanilla
  • chia seeds
  • dollop of honey

Back to that whole busy thing!
