Salad in a Jar
Ok I just love this!! There are not many things that I love in this world more than salads or mason jars (ok, actually there are a lot of things I love, family, animals, sunrises, small doors to distant lands etc. but you know what I mean) so, why not mix the two together! What a perfect way to carry your salad and keep it fresh! I read that if your dressing stays at the bottom of the jar and never touches the spinach that with the lid on, this salad can stay fresh and ready to eat for up to 4 days! Ohh I am picturing a beautiful scene in my refrigerator, salads prepared for the week!

I Couldn’t Agree More!
As I head to France today for the Adaptive Snowboarding World Championships, I leave this quote behind. Life is an adventure, live it up!

Strrrrretch!
When was the last time you stretched, I mean really really stretched?
This image inspires me like no other to move my body, to feel that deep stretch and get the blood pumping to my muscles. Eastern Philosophy believes that you are only as old as your body is stiff. They also believe that PRANA, the subtle life force that animates in all living things, circulates throughout your body when you stretch enhancing your wellbeing and overall health.
Fancy yoga moves aside, when was the last time you stretched?

Favorite Not So Sinful Cookies!
I was craving something sweet the other day and came across this amazing flourless peanut butter cookie recipe! With a few changes I made it my own and let me tell ya, they were amazing! These are a great idea for anyone sensitive to flour or if you just want to cut out some of the fat and carbs! Plus there is no butter! Honestly, with cookies this amazing you won’t even miss it!
Check out my altered recipe below!
Amy’s Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup organic peanut butter
- 1 cup organic sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 1.5 teaspoon organic pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup organic shredded coconut or chopped peanuts or chocolate chips
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Lightly prepare a cookie sheet
- In a medium bowl, stir peanut butter and sugar together until smooth. Beat in the egg, then stir in the baking soda, salt, and vanilla. Mix in any other additional ingredients. Roll dough into 1 inch balls ( make sure to really roll them so it all sticks together) and place them 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. Press a criss-cross into the top using the back of a fork.
- Sprinkle tops lightly with sugar or even with a pinch of sea salt
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Yum! Peanut Buttery yet no so sinful cookies! Enjoy!
Artful Sardine Cans DIY
I am loving what my grandparents decided to do with old rusted sardine cans!
They turned them into picture frames with photos of our ancestors and past relatives and hung them on the wall in their fishing cabin… next to vintage fishing rods, fishing lures and lights that are made from old bottles! Way to go Grandma and Gramps! Goes to show you can get crafty at any age!
PS: This photo is of my great grandmother (with a very stylish hat on I may add).
