Tasty Tuesday -puffed wheat squares

another old one...

it actually amazes me how many people have no idea how to make puffed wheat squares.
they're super simple.
and really delicious!

though i do find that it is getting harder and harder to find puffed wheat in the grocery store... seems like a lot of stores don't carry anything but the sugar coated ones that you definitely don't need for this recipe.

WIP (work in progress)

i'm all about geometric patterns this year!

lots more of these to come for my fall/winter 2014 goodies!

the attack of the MONSTER ZUCCHINIS!!!

this picture is actually from a few weeks ago... this bad boy is still sitting on my floor patiently waiting to be chopped/shredded/sliced.... SOMETHING.

i just don't know why these things are so out of control this year. normally this size zucchini is reserved for the very end of season when you rip out the vines and find the sneaky ones... not early august! 

just to give you an idea... i can't fit both hands around this thing and touch my fingers together.

i can't even imagine the ridiculous size it would have been had i not picked it when i did. 

SAY ZUCCHINI!

foto friday - my boys

thankful thursday.... i love my family

this picture makes me happy... 

that is all.

it's that time....

it may only be the beginning of september but HOLY HELL it is cold in the mornings!
maybe i'm a wimp about it but i would like to go on record that i did not once complain about the heat (oh lovely heat) in the summer so i feel like it is totally acceptable to complain bitterly about being cold.
one or the other people. one or the other
if complain about it being too hot in the summer incessantly then you'd better not whine about the cold in the winter... at least not around me if you don't want me opening my big yap to tell you to stop your moaning.

i digress...

this lovely is already sold and in its new home but these cowls..... I LOVE THEM!
nothing makes me happier than random pops of color and geometric patterns.

my first market of the year will be September 27th for the first Mercer Collective of the season which is also an etsy event. FUN!

i'll post details soon about that....

but for now.... that is all.

Tasty Tuesday - grandma's way

what she called fudge squares i call amazingly easy brownies.

super quick to throw together and super YUM!
