Good Morning! I’m having a really awesome morning. For breakfast I made myself two poached eggs on English muffin with some baby spinach. Yum! My eggs were a bit old so I tried a new way to make them. I watched a clip with Jamie Olivier yesterday who suggested if your eggs are old to spin the water before you pour the egg in, and it worked. They might have cooked a little too long, but I thought they were still perfect. 

Today is going to be a warm day so I will try to do all the computer stuff now and then go outside and soak up all the sun I can:) 

Have an awesome day!

Pic I took yesterday. Trees are slowly changing colors, so beautiful! 

The other day I made chocolate nut bars. I love to find easy things to bake through instagram and this one I had screenshot’ed a while ago. As always, I made my own version of it. Like, I used different nuts and I used vanilla extract instead of some fake sugar (which I don’t think you actually need). Super simple, yummy and filling. I made half the recipe but I will write out the whole thing for you guys.

1 cup Coconut butter
1 cup cocoa powder
¼ cup honey
few drops of vanilla extract
crushed cashews and almonds, like ½-1 cup

Warm up the coconut butter by having the jar in warm water for 10 minutes. Mix coconut butter with the cocoa powder, honey and vanilla. Crush the nuts and add to the mix. Spread out on baking paper or aluminum foil. Freeze for a few hours, make into smaller bars and then store in the fridge. 

They are pretty filling. This week, every time I feel my sweet tooth screaming, usually around 3pm, I just open the fridge and have one piece which really is enough to stop the craving for sweets. I have most of the bars left which is unusual to me:) 

Good morning! 

So, on Sunday I baked bread to enjoy for breakfast this week. After searching for a simple bread recipe online, I found one that was super easy (sorry, I don’t remember what website). It tastes good and it’s so easy to bake. 

.

1½ cups warm water (not too hot, like a baby bath)

1 tbs honey 

1 tsp salt 

1 tbs active dry yeast (I used a package of 2.5 tsp, which is a little less, but it worked)

3 – 4½ cups flour (I used normal white flour)

.

* Heat the water and mix it with the honey, salt and the dry yeast in a glass bowl. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until there’s foam on the top. 

* Add the flour. You don’t want the dough to stick to your hands, so keep adding flour until it’s one non-sticky dough. I mixed it in the bowl and then worked it on a floured counter. Form a loaf and cover with a towel for 20 minutes. Set your oven for 400 degrees.

* Make cuts in the loaf and place in the middle of the oven. Let it bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on your oven. I had it in for a full twenty minutes. 

This is so easy! It’s something I’ll definitely bake again:)
