Good morning and happy December! Holy cow, where did the time go? A few weeks ago I was counting the days util Fall and all things pumpkin and just like that the calendar page has turned and we are on to all things gingerbread. Before I start posting non-stop sweet treats, 100 ways to make hot chocolate and other Christmas fare I thought I would share this pumpkin spice granola that I made a few days ago, it is easy and delicious and a great snack or breakfast treat. It is also delicious on yogurt.  

Pumpkin Spice Granola

Pumpkin Spice Granola with Cranberries 

Ingredients 

1  cup olive oil

1 pumpkin puree

1 cup real maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla

5 cups old fashioned oats

1 cup quinoa flakes

1 cup coconut

2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice

pinch of sea salt

1 cup raw pumpkin seeds

1/2  raw sunflower seeds

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1 cup dried cranberries

Directions

Preheat oven to 350. In a medium bowl combine the oil, pumpkin, maple syrup and vanilla, whisk until smooth. 

In a large bowl mix together the oats and the quinoa flakes, and flaked coconut. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and mix well. Pour onto a baking sheet and spread evenly, bake for 15 minutes, then add the pumpkin seeds, pecans, sunflower seeds  and cranberries, mix well and bake another 15 minutes. It will feel a little wet when you take it out of the oven  and will crisp up as it cools. Resist the urge to continue baking it because it will burn. 

Let cool, store in an airtight container for up to two weeks. You can eat it as is or you can add the milk of your choice. Enjoy!

By the way today is Giving Tuesday, it was created in 2012 as ” a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good.” This year when so many are out of work and suffering Giving Tuesday is more important than ever and it is not about just giving money, or giving your time it is as simple as giving a smile. We all have something to give no matter how big or small the gesture. 

Have a great day my friends.

Grief is just love with no place to go.” Thank y Grief is just love with no place to go.” Thank you my friends for all of your kind messages, thoughts and prayers.

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
