Spreading a Little Love

August 24, 2011 by Faith 25 Comments

Along with apples, oats are one thing I try to eat every day (gosh, I sound like a horse when I put it like that, lol!  Even more so when I mention that I drink bucket loads of water too).  Oh well, it’s delicious to me!  I like oats in any form (oatmeal, granola, cookies, breads, etc.), and I especially enjoy eating them for breakfast, so I was thrilled when I recently had the opportunity to try out some Love Grown granola.

The generous people at Love Grown sent me some of every flavor granola to try – apple walnut delight, cocoa goodness, raisin almond crunch, simply oats, and sweet cranberry pecan.  I thought every flavor was fantastic, but I have to say the raisin almond crunch was my personal favorite.

It had whole almonds, raisins, and coconut flakes with a subtle sweetness and a hint of cinnamon.  It was like an oatmeal cookie, but in healthy breakfast-friendly form.

Love Grown uses wholesome ingredients like whole grain oats, nuts, seeds, honey, apples, and coconut in their products.  You can read more about the ingredients they use on their site, look for a location near you, and read the (adorable!) story of how they started their company.

And I have to show you the box that my goodies came in, just because I thought it was so cute…

Getting packages is always fun, but this one really brought a huge smile to my face…thanks Love Grown! 

Disclaimer:  I received the granola for free from Love Grown; as always, opinions stated are my own.

    There really is nothing I like more than oats. The other day I made some with peanut butter stirred through for the first time, and I swear, I’ve had to forcibly convince myself not to eat it for every meal of the day since then.

    The granola looks gorgeous. What an adorable box!

    My family loves granola. I’ll keep my eye out for some “love” next time at the market.

    I am a huge fan of granola…I usually make my own. I had no idea it only takes a few minutes to get a decent batch of granola together! But this one looks delicious too.

      Ameena, I love making homemade granola too! I’ve found that for the days/weeks that I don’t even have a few extra minutes to spare (which happens more often than you might think when writing a book!), this is a fantastic solution.

Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently serv Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently served with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh dill. You can boil or fry them, they freeze like a dream (and they cook directly from frozen!), and they make a big batch so you’ll have a freezer stash of easy dinners for busy nights. But fair warning, these are definitely a labor of love. I made them last spring on a Zoom call with ma chérie Evelyne of @cultureatz that involved ridiculous amounts of laughter, and the shenanigans of us hand making about 100 dumplings each! I’m definitely a bad blogger for not sharing the recipe until now lol. But it’s (finally!) up and you can check it out on @anediblemosaic 🥰 —> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/pelmeni-recipe-russian-dumplings/ #dumplings #dumplingsfordays #russianfood #pelmeni #foodstyling #foodstylist #foodphotography #photography #moodygrams #lightandshadow
The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️

This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is the perfect dessert for you and your sweetheart this Valentine's Day, and it's even more special because it was made for a cause. ❤️

This is the 5th year in a row that Julie from @thelittlekitchn has organized the Cookies for Kid's Cancer Valentine's Event to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer, and I'm honored to be part of it.

Cancer is the top cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. And the National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%.⁣

You can help make a difference by donating to @cookies4kids. Our goal is to raise at least $3000. Thank you to @OXO, @Mediavine and @Dixie_Crystals who have each pledged to match our donations raised through this campaign up to $3000!⁣

I developed this recipe last year on a whim one af I developed this recipe last year on a whim one afternoon when I really just wanted a slice of chocolate cake. 🎉🙈 I wasn't going to post the recipe, but it was pretty and one thing led to another and I styled and snapped a few pictures. It really is crazy delicious and it whips up in just 10 minutes in the microwave (and it has just 5g net carbs per serving!). And so here it is, lol.
