Bits and Pieces....

we had a busy weekend filled with a birthday party, a sleepover, dufferin grove park and bbq with good friends with yummy food!  today, we were busy at home.  here is the story of our day....

i made a raw kale salad from this new blog i discovered that is all vegan!  yummy! here is the recipe. it was super easy to make.  http://ohsheglows.com/2011/06/17/weekend-glow-kale-salad/
the squares i made are a knock off of the ol' rice krispie, sans marshmallows and followed this recipe.  http://ohsheglows.com/2011/06/24/almond-butter-rice-crisp-treats/   i ran out of brown rice syrup so used honey instead. worked out just fine!
i soaked some black beans yesterday and cooked them up today. i forgot how easy it is to make beans and not have to use the canned stuff. just a bit of forward thinking (which i know is not always so easy!)
lastly, did you see my organized books!  4 months my books from my old clinic have been sitting under our staircase and today they are neatly organized!  all this prep for an upcoming yard sale. maybe this Saturday (weather permitting).  keep you posted.... hope ya'll had a great long weekend...
