Spring here in Florida
It's Spring here and everything is starting to bloom and leaf out. I thought it was Spring all winter. Compared to Nebraska winters. It was nice here.

Looks lovely. It was Spring here Wed. afternoon and Thurs. till about 2pm when the clouds took over. Then it was back to Winter Friday morning with 3" of wet, frozen snow on the ground. There's been a cold wind ever since, though the sun was mostly shining today.
Wow... It's a very unique blog.

That is so pretty and really nice to see. I am in NH and the winters are harsh up here. I lived in Melbourne, FL for 15 years until 4 years ago. This picture is making me miss it.
I just happened onto your blog. I am a stack n whack addict and love your fans. I do 4 Patch Stacked Posies in various settings and not long ago was introduced to stacked Dresden Plates. I am always looking for fabric to make stack n whacks.
So, are you in Florida for keeps or just for a visit?

Sometimes, Sunday mornings just need a pancake breakfast! This one whips up quickly and is dairy-free, egg-free and wheat-free with the benefits of coconut oil. Oh, and they're fluffy and delicious!
1 cup spelt flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup almond milk
2 Tbsp coconut oil
1 mashed banana
Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mash the banana and blend in the milk and oil. Add wet ingredients to flour mixture and stir really well. If you have the time, let rest a few hours.
Heat a pan til hot, then reduce heat to medium and grease with a bit of oil. Fry a 1/4 cup of the batter for each pancake. Flip when little bubbles appear on the surface. The pancakes should be golden on each side. Serve with maple syrup and fruit, or whatever you desire.
A coffee shop in my neighbourhood makes delicious cranberry oatmeal bars that I've wanted to reproduce at home. With this recipe I come really close! They're soft, oaty and delicious. Have one with raw almonds and an apple and you have a terrific breakfast or hearty snack!
1 cup spelt flour
1 cup quick oats
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup brown sugar or demerrara sugar
3/4 cup almond milk
1/4 cup olive oil or coconut oil
handful dried cranberries
Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add wet ingredients and stir until just mixed. Pour into an 8x8" greased baking pan. Sprinkle the tops with cranberries, pressing them into the batter a bit. Bake at 350F for 22 minutes. Cut into 8 bars.
Morning Muesli
I love granola, oatmeal and oats in the morning, especially in cool weather or rainy weather or, like now, in the middle of winter! But when it starts to warm up outside, it's time for a cool, light variation of the warm and heavy oats -- muesli! I especially love it stirred into yoghurt with some a few berries or banana slices on top and a good drizzle of maple syrup.
5 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup ground flax seed
1/2 cup oat bran
1 cup currants or raisins
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients and mix well. Store in an air-tight container for up to 2 months.
Serve mixed into hot milk or hot water for a warm meal, or cold with milk or yoghurt. This is an unsweetened mix which is great for Kaphas but Vatas would benefit from a drizzle of honey added while Pittas would do well with a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy!
VARIATIONS
Add any combination, keeping the total in recipe to 1 1/2 cups:
chopped prunes * dried cranberries * slivered almonds * hazelnuts * hemp seeds * pumpkin seeds * chopped apricots * chopped dates
