Sunshine for the Laundry Room

Kind of like I wanna have a green thumb,

I also wanna be a seamstress. ;-)

I'm far from it, but I did get out my sewing machine last week 

and worked on some sunny yellow gingham curtains for my laundry room. 

I have to use my little instructional cd that came with my sewing machine every time I get it out.

Every. Time. 

I really had to laugh when I looked at my fabric!

July 11th 2014.

I had bought it two summers ago planning to make curtains for the laundry room. 

I thought a little curtain over my laundry supply shelf

would bring some sunshine into the room. 

I also replaced the brown curtain I had on the laundry room back door

with a matching yellow one.

They're certainly not perfect, but I like them! 

*Really* Simple Granola

I'm an oatmeal girl.  

95% of the time, my weekday breakfast consists of either 

hot oatmeal, overnight oats, or granola.

I have several good granola recipes -

Gingerbread Granola

Pumpkin Granola

Simple Granola

Summer Granola

But I was wanting to find a really simple granola recipe, 

even more simple than my simple granola. :-)

And this is it!

To make 8, 1/2 cup servings - 

combine 1/2 cup raw honey in 1/4 cup hot water

add a teaspoon of vanilla, a sprinkle of cinnamon, 4 cups of old fashioned oats and mix well

bake at 300 degrees for 40 minutes, stirring once halfway through baking time

That's all!  Enjoy!
