one lazy saturday

i mentioned at work i made my own granola bars, and someone said "lisa is saving money" & i responded "i am saving no money doing it."
interesting, b/c i would have never thought someone would think i was trying to save money to make my own granola bar. i make it myself, b/c i like to know what goes into it.
i'm not sure why i call it "granola", it's more like flaxseed & nut thing..

i eyeballed it, so here's the best i can do, as far as a recipe goes :

1 cup of flaxseed

1/2 cup mixed nuts/dried cranberries

1/4 cup yacon syrup &/or agave

1 mashed banana

then dehydrate @ 115degrees overnight-- or put into the oven at the lowest possible temp for an hour or so, i imagine it would taste toastier like that anyway!

i noticed, eating healthy (using this term loosely- since everyone's idea of "healthy" varies) you acquire certain items for your pantry which repeat in many healthy recipes. for example, i went to make this recipe from sassy kitchen's recipe for kale & roasted chickpea - and found i had almost all of the ingredients, but when i showed this recipe to a friend, he said he'd have to go buy practically every ingredient.  ...so, that was interesting... 

but check this recipe out, it's DELICIOUS. i was going to make it last night, again for guests, but the night didn't quite pan out as planned.

today is a lazy saturday for us. lots of napping and snacking is going around here. 

i have been 'going easy' on coffee lately, replacing it with green juice -- but today, i decided to have some. my head was flooded with ideas and inspiration instantly, and i remembered why i love coffee so much. just the scent itself is so good. 

here are a few things i've been loving recently :
