Larabars and an end table
Last Friday my sister in law sent me a link of to a documentary called fat sick and nearly dead.  http://www.hulu.com/watch/289122/fat-sick-and-nearly-dead Adam and I watched it and it gave me some motivation to step it up a notch. I don't have a juicer, and even if I did I wouldn't go this far.. but I have been seeing these blogs about unprocessed diets ( http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/ ) and have been interested. So since last Saturday I have been trying it out.. It's been hard for me! I know I have been eating poorly lately (large amounts of sugar from recipes off pinterest) So i decided to make a switch for a couple of weeks at least to broaden my recipes and possibly retrain my brain so I don't crave the crap so much. We will see..


 Today I grabbed some PB&J Larabars from the store. While driving home from running errands, Chloe and I shared one. They are pretty good and have only three ingredients in them dates, nuts, and unsweetened cherries. So I decided to make my own Laura bars.. SO easy!

  •  I made the PB&J
  •  the peanut butter chocolate
  •  and my own creation with apricots, cherries, dates, and pecans. 
 Here is the link to lots of other "larabar" recipes." http://www.wellsphere.com/healthy-cooking-article/homemade-lara-type-bars-energy-bars-part-3/191669

Also my artistic and creative husband refinished some pretty cool things recently.  I thought I would show you the before and after.

 After

 And check out the detail he added to the drawer! Pretty cool huh?

He painted, glazed, and distressed a mirror (we got for free from a friend) to match it.

I think he's pretty talented!

  1. Kathryn says: I love the furniture! Beautiful. I need to get working on my projects again. :) I am interested to hear more about your diet. I have done a lot of research on it in the past and have considered trying it. Let's talk soon!
    P.S. I really want to go to the bow night next week, but if I am getting my hair cut at your house, I don't know if hubs can get home early two nights in a row. :( We'll see. Hopefully I can work it out. :)
