Weekend Things

Another Friday, another sneak preview of a treat you can look forward to on Monday. I don't mean for this to be cruel. I have a lot of recipes in the queue, but I'm bumping this one up in order.

As someone on our Facebook called them, they're my Jackson Pollock cookies.

// Natural Goodness //

I can't give up sweets entirely, so I'm baking without with less sugar.

Here's some Sweetener Comparisons: Honey, Agave, Molasses, Sugar, Maple Syrup.

I'll have this nearly sugar(s)-free peanut butter cookie recipe for you Monday!

// My Mouth is Watering //

Homemade Ginger Ale? Why, yes! Please!

Gorgeous Root Chips using beets, sweet potatoes, and yucca root.

Grape Leaves stuffed with goat cheese, figs + walnuts.

// Plant a Tree (Or Something Else) // 

Check out these Top 10 Gardening Apps.

I am extremely tempted by this 4' x 4' cedar raised bed kit.

And who doesn't absolutely adore supple succulents?

// Warm Weather Cool //

I broke out my Saltwater Sandals today!

40% off Ray-Bans -- I love the Round Wayfarer in Gold.
Striped maxis, skirts, and dresses. Stripes are my favorite.

// Allergy Relief //

Pollen: It's getting the best of me.

I love this DIY rice bag with essential oils to soothe sinuses.

Erin's Allergy Tea recipe is also extremely intriguing.

// From the Outside . . . In //

The beauty on the inside is what counts, but our exterior/entry needs help.

I am loving these dutch front doors, trellis overhangs,

Earth-tone paint colors, and built-in lockers.

// Workout Tools //

Some of you have asked what my favorite online running resources are.

I use this Pace Calculator all the time.

And this training pace calculator is great for planning workouts.

// Reading Help! //

Things have been a bit crazy this week.

I'm not up on my reading.

Any suggestions for articles to check out?

And here's what you may have missed this week on Writing Chapter Three. Talk of toddler gardens, dwelling small, disposable diapers, and more.



Have a great weekend!
