Got Milk?

Cori | April 24, 2009

I know, the title is SO overused. But it just fits this post so well, I couldn’t resist! I guess I just assumed everyone had their favorite Cookie recipes, so I didn’t add mine to the last post. But because of several requests, I’m making my recipes available. Enjoy with a serious glass of moo-juice!!

A Sweet Diversion

Cori | April 22, 2009

Let’s divert from sprouts for a day or two. Recently it was Cookie Day. I love Cookie Day! One whole morning devoted to making Cookies.
Cookies. I love that word!
Now that there are only two of us at home, it’s time for a bit more creativity when it comes to [...]

Adventures with Mung Beans

Cori | April 17, 2009

Mung Beans turned out to be a favorite. The sprouted beans taste just like fresh peas straight from the garden! These are particularly yummy on a salad, but I found myself occasionally grabbing a bite straight from the fridge for a ‘snack’. And they were super easy to sprout. Try them and let [...]

Easter Renewal

Cori | April 13, 2009

Garret and I recently went on a drive through American Fork Canyon near our home. The scenery was amazing and we vowed a return trip during the spring.

This trip, however, was a time of reflection and repose. We are often under a great deal of stress right now, and it was indeed a blessing [...]

True Meaning of Easter

Cori | April 10, 2009

There will be none of the usual secular trappings of Easter at our home this year. No Easter baskets, no Cadbury Creme eggs, no egg dying, no jelly bean trail. None of it.
There will be a Church service focused on Jesus Christ and the miracle of the resurrection. The power of the Atonement is [...]

Here’s an amazing Tortilla Soup recipe you just HAVE to try! And the nice part is, it’s easy and quick, too!

Lettuce Sunflowers Alone…

Cori | April 9, 2009

Sunflower Lettuce??
Hmmmm… sounds… intriguing. Since I was shooting (punny?) for a lettuce replacement first and foremost, when I heard I could grow ‘lettuce’ from sunflower seeds, I was most curious and decided that would be my first sprouting experiment. The package on the Sunflower Sprouting Seeds I bought says, “Sunflower Lettuce is a favorite mainstay [...]

Trying Sprouting

Cori | April 8, 2009

On our new ‘reduced-budget, living-out-of-town’ journey, I have discovered items that it would be good to be more self-sufficient with. I can say that I’m only going to the store once every two weeks to save on gas and impulse spending, but that means that for at least one week we go without certain perishables; [...]

Thankful Thursday

Cori | April 2, 2009

My list this week is simple and full of the little things that make my life right now awesome.
I am thankful for:
1. Discovering how little ’stuff’ I need in my life. I thought I was a fairly simple gal with a pared-down life before. And then we moved here and started our post-business journey and  [...]
