Have a Nice Easter Weekend...

Good Morning Friends,

Wow I DO look forward to the weekends now. Before all the days seemed the same when I didn't work. I have been on a waffle binge this whole week. It is just as easy and the same as making a muffin, but in a waffle maker instead. I think I like the texture much better.

This morning I made some cashew butter. When I buy nuts now, I always buy them RAW from the bins at Sprouts when I go there, and store them in ziplock baggies in the freezer. They stay fresh that way.

I put some frozen - RAW cashews on a cookie sheet and placed them in the oven at 300 degrees and asked Hubby to watch them and flip and shake them every 5 min until they are done while I took a quick shower.

He comes in after 5  or so minutes and says "how do I know if they are done?" I said you can tell, they start to smell real good and DON'T let them burn please.

So when I was done, they were perfect and I put them in the food processor and added about 12 drops of vanilla stevia and a dash of sea salt and about 1 tbsp of macadamia nut oil to soften.

Last night Hubby and I went to this restaurant called The Heights and had some Pinot Noir wine and a spinach-cheese appetizer, (I had about 5 chips), and I had a Thai salad. It came with noodles that I pulled off and asked for the sesame-nut dressing on the side so I could drizzle it on. It was so good. And a few bites of a chocolate desert which he ate most of.

Well I gotta go. Got lost of stuff to do today. I wish you all a GREAT Easter weekend. And NO candy for you... Just the kids. LOL

Keep on BFC ' n  :-)
