new recipes

Last night I tried a new recipe I found in the August 2012 Southern Living magazine.  It is called Three Sister's Salad {recipe here} and looks something like this....

Well, it's supposed to look something like that, mine wasn't quite that pretty. Landon and I are both really into arugula right now and he's a huge fan of butternut squash, so this recipe really jumped out at us. It was super easy to make and really healthy. Landon was a huge fan, but it wasn't my favorite. I didn't much care for the cold butternut squash, but everything else went really well together. Luckily I halved the recipe and still have half of the squash left to roast tonight!

I also tried a recipe my neighbor friend gave me called no-bake energy bites which we loved. They consist of....

1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/3 cup honey
1 tsp. vanilla

Just mix, chill, roll into balls, chill again, and voila - a delicious treat!

Still no news as to when we'll be moving....
