The Simple Delights

The Simple Delights
Even though I have had some rough egg experiences lately…the century egg, and little birdie fetus…I have not given up on one of my favorite foods. While eggs can be made to taste more disgusting than I ever thought possible, they can also be creamy, protein packed perfection and in the case of the baked egg cup, they are just that! The other morning, we had our friend Zach and one of his friends over for breakfast. Zach was our travel partner in Cambodia, and he is moving to South Africa on Monday, so we are trying to soak up as much Zach time as possible! Gavin made some delicious whole wheat banana’s foster pancakes (I think I should enlist him has a guest blogger to share his pancake secrets!) and I made baked eggs in ham cups. Baked Egg Cups 12 Eggs 12 thin slices of deli ham (round) 1/2 Cup of your favorite cheese (I used Parmesan) 1/2 Cup diced scallions Fresh cracked Sea Salt and Pepper Preheat the oven to 400.

Crock Pot Bread Baking (Fast Bread in a Slow Cooker) When I moved to the midwest I was introduced to Crock Pot cooking. I had never even seen a slow cooker before and had no idea the range of foods that could be created in a plug-in cooking pot. Since then I have had everything from No-Peek-Chicken, Swedish Meatballs and Peach cobbler, done in one of these magic devices. When my husband was an art director Aveda they had “crock pot parties,” which meant everyone plugged in their slow cookers at their desks and made a dish to share. Brilliant! Maybe kids should bring crock pots to school and have healthy food cooking at their desks. But, bread in a crock pot? 1 pound dough (Click here for our No-Knead 5-Minute Bread Recipe. Form the dough into a ball and place it on a sheet of parchment paper. Update: I just mixed up a fresh batch of ABin5 Peasant Bread Dough, let it rise for the two hours in the bucket, then formed a 1-pound loaf and stuck it in the crock pot. Turn the temperature to high and put on the cover. Related Post:

Banana Bread Pancake Recipe Here’s what I know about pancakes. They taste good with cherries. Apples and bacon too. They make slept-in mornings with toothpaste stains eight thousand times better. They are what my dad stuffs with blueberries. They probably wouldn’t be good with things like broccoli or beans… because that’s just weird. Oh! They taste extra excellent with ice cream on top. Even better steaming hot with oozing butter… then ice cream on top. They save marriages. They aren’t the best choice for breakfast when you want to wear a string bikini. They often slip you into a welcoming food coma that causes you to desk nap. They are darn good. They are cake. Seriously. Now hold your horses. I feel bad declining him day after day. But it’s the combination… the bananas, the brown sugar, the maple vanilla glaze… that has etched this breakfast into the rotation at our house. There is a reason this is huge. So now people can eat banana bread without stuffing an entire loaf down their face. makes 12 pancakes 1/4 teaspoon salt

Over Grow The System » Debt/car-free tiny house couple: simple living + resilience Six years ago, Tammy Strobel was unhappy- “I was commuting 2 hours a day, going to a job I hated, overweight, unhappy, kind of middle class plight”. Then she watched a youtube video featuring Dee Williams and her tiny home- a moment she calls her “turning point”- and she began to dream about less. Prior to downsizing Tammy and her husband, Logan Smith, were living in a two-bedroom apartment, driving two cars, commuting long distances and $30,000 in debt, but they were hesitant change the status quo. Tammy and Logan began with small steps. Tammy recently published a book titled “You Can Buy Happiness (and It’s Cheap)”, but she explains that it’s not exactly happiness that she pursues, but resilience. One of the biggest side effects of living in a small, mortgage-free home on wheels is the freedom to move, something that has served them well in the past year.

OPPT, Banks, Governments, Corporations and You By General Maddox. As much as it’s tracking and tracing what you do online, you’ve gotta love social media. Why? Well the main reason it was set up to begin with was to bring people closer together and communicate more freely. This is how i came to stumble upon a particular documentary. One of the people i’m “Friends” with online posted a YouTube link. The documentary i’m referring to is called What The FUQ? It was made by a gentleman by the name of Scott Bartle of www.truth-now.net. What Scott discovered when trying to bring a fully restored Classic 1959 Corvette which he purchased whilst working abroad, was layers of bureaucracy wrapped in red tape such as: - Import Approval due to his Corvette being manufactured Pre-1989 Scheme - Environmental Issue due to his Corvette having a pre-charged piece of equipment installed on it (the air conditioner!) Quite frankly one of the most shocking things is the image above. What does this mean you ask? How can this be you might ask? Make sense?
