Personally, I hadn’t made them in years! Then on a whim, maybe because I’m trying to work through what we have vs running to the store, I whipped up a batch. Honestly,  I forgot just how good the were! ⁣
⁣
BTW, this is #shelfcooking to the core. I’m happy to report we’re killing it in that department. Every so often I’ll do this. It’s amazing how fast food piles up in the pantry. Do you feel me? ⁣
⁣
Anyway, to make these bites you’ll need⁣
⁣
75g Cashews⁣
1 cup GF oats⁣
1 tbsp @nowfoodsoffical salted caramel cashew butter (any nut butter)⁣
2 tsp Vanilla ⁣
60 mL Honey or Maple syrup⁣
Optional: scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder ⁣
⁣
Combined everything in a food processor until  desired consistency. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times. Using a tbsp, scoop out mixture and roll into balls. Store in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for a few months. ⁣
⁣
Enjoy!

I replaced the container about a year ago and it’s still going strong! And yes when it dies, because it will one day, I’ll buy another! 

So what do I make:

1. Smoothies /smoothie bowls
2. Soup 
3. Oat flour 
4. Pancakes, muffins, etc.
5. Pesto, salad dressings, etc.

...and that’s just scratching the surface! I know it’s an investment, but trust me — it’s worth it! ❤️ 

What’s your most used kitchen gadget?

I do. 

I’ve said it before — It’s breakfast! And coffee 😉

I love a spinach/veggie omelette w/ nutritional yeast & @yellowbirdsauce. plus, a stack of @kodiakcakes w/almond butter syrup. Get in my belly!

Benefits of eating breakfast...

1. You don’t have to wait until XYZ to eat🤷🏼‍♀️😉
2. Cold pizza is acceptable 
3. Bottomless mimosas
4. Gives you all the energy to slay the day.

What’s your favorite meal of the day?

⁣
A. Will you continue to order mostly online?⁣
B. Love shopping in store for all the things.⁣
C. It just depends.⁣
⁣
Personally, there are just some things I prefer to order online.  In fact, I probably purchase 98% of things online... ⁣
⁣
It's safe to say that we see @fedex and @ups weekly! Thanks, crew! ⁣
⁣
But I also resell a lot of things online... which warrants a totally different post.

We recently discovered Bigelow® Botanicals cold-water infusions.⁣ This botanical-infused water is not only hydrating and refreshing, it’s a great alternative to water. It’s easy, convenient, and portability makes it great for on-the-go moments. All you need is a water bottle.

You can order online or purchase in-store. I shopped at our local @albertsons for the Bigelow® Botanicals Watermelon Cucumber Mint and Strawberry Lemon Orange Blossom.

DIY Photo Coasters

I completely
forgot about the Winter Pinterest Challenge over at Young House Love today and
immediately starting thinking about what projects I’ve crafted recently, but
never blogged about. For Christmas I DIY’d a few gifts; there’s just something
sweet about a homemade gift.
Anyway, today
I thought I would share the photo coasters I made. 

Materials

  • White Square Ceramic
    Tiles (I found these at Lowe’s for 16 cents each!)
  • Photos (I
    printed 8, but only made 6 coasters)
  • Mod Podge (I
    used Glossy)
  • Folk Art
    Clearcote Acrylic High Sealer (I used a gloss spray)
  • 2-3 foam
    applicators
  • Self-stick rubber or felt pads (I purchased 3M rubber pads)
  • Wax paper
Directions

Print 6-8
photos you would like to use. (Maybe pick
a theme).
Next, cut the photos to size.

Once all the
photos are cut to size apply Mod Podge to the back of the photo with a foam
applicator, then press down onto tile. 
Allow to dry completely. 
Once dry,
apply a layer of Mod Podge with a foam applicator to the top of the photo.  Use even left-to-right strokes (lines will show).  Allow to dry completely.
(Note: 
make sure each coat dries completely before applying the next coat. I also laid them on wax paper so I would not ruin the table).
Repeat with
2 more layers of Mod Podge allowing each layer to dry completely before
applying the next. I allowed 24 hours between each layer.

Once the
coasters are completely dry then it’s time to spray with Acrylic Sealer. I
recommend spraying them outside.
The Acrylic
Sealer is an important step, it will seal the project.  This will ensure the coaster is waterproof
and can handle wet glasses sitting on the coasters.
I applied a
total of 4 coats of sealer, allowing each to dry completely before applying the
next coat.

Lastly, add
some backing to the coasters.  I used 3M
self-stick rubber pads (one in each corner).

 

Now it’s time to wrap them up as a gift or place them on your coffee table.

    Would like to know if you printed the photos on photo paper or ordinary paper.

    Thanks!
