"Being a stay-at-home Mom is easy when you don't have kids"

Yesterday, I woke up happy and not at all wanting to sit still at my desk and read about Southern church doctrine in the early 20th century. So I didn't. I went to the grocery store, to Goodwill (more to come about that) and went for a walk outside with a friend. C'mon, y'all, it was Friday.
I also cooked/baked. Sometimes that happens. I just feel creative and want to make something delicious.

First I made granola.

First you toast pecans and almonds

Mix together rice cereal (I used hemp flax cereal instead), rolled oats, and dried cranberries

Then, bring syrup (I used maple/agave), cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla and cloves to a boil and heat until it thickens

Pour syrup over mixed oats and stir until coated. Then our mixture into a buttered glass dish and let cool.  There you go! Homemade granola!

 Next, I cut up some strawberries I got on sale. No recipe here. Just delicious fruit. I'll be eating berries in yogurt, salad, everything for the next few days!

 Next, I did like my sister Courtney and made some pico de gallo. Spicy!!

Here I am, cooking away--listening to Elton John probably:)

All you do is chop together tomatoes (seeded), garlic, cilantro, red onion, and fresh jalepeno,. Then season with fresh lime juice and salt and pepper. Healthy and delicious!

Then, I made some oatmeal cookies. These are so easy and I actually got the recipe from the oatmeal box itself but they are on constant request from friends. No pictures of these though.

That's it! Guess we'll be eating well this weekend in my house!
