Good Recipe

Stefan and I really like to buy food from Open Harvest, the organic store...the only thing is, what happens when you spend a dollar extra on 'organic yogurt' and it expires before you eat it all? You wander over to the garbage with the container in your hand with a tear in your eye until...Suddenly...you notice a recipe on the back...that involves baking...and high temperatures. In my mind this justifies keeping around the ole' stuff until its used. (Does this really work...Is it the same as "cooking the bacteria out of it"? I would like to know.) Viola! The recipe was fabulous and the "Apple Spice Muffins' were probably the best I've ever made (it helped I had apple puree in the freezer). The yogurt was Stonyfield Farms lowfat vanilla and the recipe is (summarized):
2 c. flour
2 eggs
1/4 c. butter, melted
1/2 c. sugar
1 cup apples, peeled and chopped (however, I just used 1 c. apple puree--that had the peel still in it! and they were great...and no 'chunks')
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamin (I used cinn. sugar--it's all I had!)
1 c. Sf Farm vanilla yogurt
Mix and bake at 375 for 20-25 min (mine were done at 21)...makes 12 (or 9...since Stefan loves batter......)
Enjoy!

How To: DIY Sand/Water Table

How To: Build A Sand/Water Table for Under $30 ! Sorry this took me so long to blog, but I had to have a tool list and full instructions before I could do so. A little history on my love for the sand/water table . I love the idea behind tools for tiny hands, i.e. the Montessori Method , and like to have Lukka 'figure things out for himself', even when he is playing. I try to have the most simple and basic toys available for 3 reasons: a) simple toys generally have less parts, which means less of a hassle for me b) simple toys inspire way more creativity and imagination than do 'exact replica' toys c) they are much more aesthetically pleasing to look at, therefore, not making every nook and cranny of our house an eyesore! I know the last reason is just for me, but it's true. Plastic things don't generally last 1/2 as long as wooden or fabric toys, and they are unattractive. For this reason, I started to look for a wooden sand/water table as opposed to a pl...

We've Gone and Done It

We are in the midst of packing up, and moving. Not just any move, but The Move we've been trying to accomplish for years now. We're heading up to (Washington) Canada. In the last couple of months Stefan had been talking to a potential employer up in Richmond, British Columbia , and after a very swift interview process they offered him the job. Small and large details aside, he accepted and plans to start on February 25th. We leave one week earlier, on the 18th. That's literally just over 2 weeks from when you will read this. We told family and close friends first, and while we haven't been keeping it a huge secret, our church, as a whole, did not know until last night because it was then we could tell everyone at our seasonal congregational meeting what our plans were in person, and with many of them all at once. I didn't want to say anything online until that happened. We've been steadily spending heaps of time with friends and family, all while slowly p...
