The Busy Bee

I thought I would experiment with my homemade granola and added nutmeg along with cinnamon. Unless you have something special planned for this, it is too much spice for yogurt which is what I use it for. i have found that a small bowl of it with Almond milk and bananas is pretty tasty. I also made a significant amount of it, which I do not recommend for testing anything I just over poured oats into the syrup. Once that happens there’s no turning back I’m afraid. Enjoy!

I made granola today, which is going to save me some serious dough at the store. I didn’t use an exact recipe but I would like to say it is amazing.

What you do is:

In a small sauce pan fill with water just enough to cover the bottom of the pan, bring water to a steamy temperature.

Add in brown sugar I did a little less than 1/4 cup and boil til it is syrup.

Put about three handfuls of oats into a medium mixing bowls, pour syrup over the oats and thoroughly mix.

Pour mixture onto a greased cookie sheet, sprinkle on some cinnamon and bake at 300f for 15 minutes. I mixed them up more every five minutes so the wouldn’t make clusters.

that’s it!

Easy right? I’m sure you can change the homemade syrup to honey or maple syrup, even add in nuts if you want, but I wanted this on cinnamon apple Greek yogurt. I was in such a hurry to eat it I did not take any pictures, sorry! Next time I make it I will be sure to do so, promise :) ! Hope you enjoy your mixture as much as I enjoyed mine and if you have any comments on how yours turned out or feed back or questions please use this blog :) !

I LOVE cleaning products, and equipment in order to do so. Organizing and keeping things perfect orderly is my obsession. So while looking around at my usual DIY and coupon sites I came across the dollar tree site while pricing items for a project, and I realised after a moment, IT’S ALL BULK! Yes ma’am all your items that you would normally pay $5 for is sold by the crate. Now you ask why do I need bulk websites? and I’m here to give you a few examples to make the absolute most of your time on this site and to give a few helpful hints as to how bulk can be better. I’m not saying get 6 crates of 24 count pasta sauces or 600 bottles of ketchup (it does eventually go bad you know) but who doesn’t have cookouts? Who doesn’t decorate with candles or pictures? I’ll bet those busy bee moms with busy bee babies would love the craft supplies that our little dears go through oh so quickly. BUT my personal favorite of all time that I LOVE about this site is the cleaning and storage hardware! So many ideas an options were in my head as I looked through these pages that I had to share it and I hope you either visit your local dollar tree or order from this site, and I definitely hope you find it just as useful as I have. I can’t wait to do all the projects this site can offer! Have a happy crafty days guys!

So, since having my twins I have become a little bit of a health nut I think. Not because of the baby weight (which is gone at 8 month post partum!) but because I have some pretty gnarly stretch marks all over my tummy that I want to get rid of. I have been looking aorund and I found a super helpful slideshow on breakfast foods that are both low-cal and tasty! Some even have chocolate (my thighs appreciate it) and all take minimal time to prepare. This busy little bee is in love! Well, here is the link so you guys can enjoy some tasty morning goodies also!

Enjoy!    http://www.everydayhealth.com/healthy-recipes-pictures/healthy-dessert-for-breakfast-recipes.aspx?xid=nl_EverydayHealthChildrensHealth_20120313#/slide-1

I recently found out I have hypertension (which is wierd at my age) and I’ve been looking for more heart heslthy foods so that I will not increase my risks any further. Today, I found a cholesterol free brownie recipe, which is awesome ‘cause I have a BIG sweet tooth and now I have to cut back on my sweets. So, I want delicious treats worth of my time. I made them while the kids were napping, and they are wonderful!
