Confections & Creations Boutique

This Friday and Saturday I will be selling Nova Granola at a holiday boutique. There will be delicious treats and gifts from other vendors too. Even a visit from Santa Claus, so bring your kids for a photo opportunity! Perfect chance to stock up on neighbor gifts, hostess gifts, coworker gifts, mailman gifts, you name it! See you there!

Jen over at Delightful Delicacies featured me on her gift list for locals! CHECK IT OUT! She's really inspiring to me and I love her recipes and food photography. I've taken a cooking class from her before too! Talent and charm that Jen.

Jen also mentioned that I'm giving a coupon code for 10% off if you order soon. (my first time ever)
At checkout enter: NOVA10

The pictured bag is my 8oz of mango-cherry. I'm pretty sure it's my favorite one.

Mother's Day//Gift Guide

Don't forget, it's May 13th.

My mom likes cooking, baking, gardening, studying+teaching church classes, visiting grandchildren, playing tennis, going to college basketball games with my dad, being by water and in the sun, being self-sufficient, working hard, reading, wondering if I'll ever get married and being an all around champ.
These are things I'd like to give my mom (and myself, let's be honest).

Holiday: Gift Idea

A weck jar and a small spatula,
my favorite things in the kitchen.
There are endless things you could fill the weck jar with,
but I love the idea of filling it with something beautiful and delicious
and homemade from your kitchen.
granola
trail mix
mini cookies
cinnamon toasted nuts
do you have a signature treat? fill it with that.

Check out//illustrated version of Food Rules

Remember when I blogged about Food Rules?
A new, updated version with illustrations by Maira Kalman came out!
Beautiful illustrations for Michael Pollan's rules.
I love his food philosophy. Real food, around a beautiful table, with people you love...less complicated, more enjoyable. It's the way to live.
And I'd like to have a blown up illustration of Maira Kalman's in my kitchen.

I can't decide which one I'd want.

Granola, Man

My sister ordered some granola for her father-in-law for Father's Day!
She lives in California, so I wrapped and delivered to him here in Utah.

I used Creature Comfort's adorable tags to tie on to the bags.
I love her printables, I just wanna make stuff for people for no reason cause it's so rad looking.

Happy Father's Day, Man!
