Energy

Yesterday morning I ran around in a frenzy getting ready for work after a poor night sleep (up too much with Finn) and got out the door without breakfast. I came home with added inspiration to come up with some good, healthy snacks to have on hand. The end result was these tasty energy bars. The backbone of this recipe originated from Big Sur Energy Bars, on one of my favorite online recipe journals 101 Cookbooks, but ultimately morphed based on what I had in the cupboards. The options are endless for tweaking this one and it will surely reappear in my kitchen in one form or another.

Yard Work is Hard work

Another weekend of amazing weather. We were out in the back yard both days working at getting the garden space ready for another season. Chris meticulously drew up the designs for what will soon be three of the most amazing 4'x5' raised beds, all 22" deep - in hopes of keeping Hudson from marauding. As you can see from the photo, we got as far as setting all the corner posts. These are going to be some solid garden beds! Next step: figure out where to get enough weed free soil to fill them.
