{thirsty thursday – baba black lager}

8 May

babablacksheep-1babablacksheep-2

this is by far my {newest} favourite beer ever! here are some reasons why :

#1.  it’s organic {at least according to USDA standards}

#2.  it’s DARK {i appreciate darkness, in more than just my beer}

#3.  it’s low-calorie {waistline-friendly libations are just fine in anyone’s book, right?!}

#4.  it’s low-alcohol {so i don’t feel guilty or wacky or whatever if i drink 2… or 6}

#5.  it’s locally made {kind-of… utah is actually closer to me than denver at this point}

#6.  it’s got a black sheep on the can {so, it’s more than fitting for me}

#7.  it’s totally delicious!!! 

have a great {responsible} weekend! 😀

{oatmeal audrey’s way}

7 May

nothing says good morning like a warm bowl of good-for-your-heart-oatmeal.  everyone has their favourite toppings…

here’s my recipe :

– oats of choice {i prefer steel cut, but these are rolled oats}

– pure maple syrup

– dried currants

– chia seeds

– ground flax meal

– ground cinnamon

sprinkle desired a mount of each over cooked oats, mix together and enjoy! 🙂
