THE IMPORTANCE OF DIY AND CRAFTS

The DIY and Craft movement is infusing the world with color, breaking the monotony of mass produced products.

The Importance of DIY and Crafts

People are inherently crafty, children learn by creating and playing.

Overtime we often loose that playfulness, we simply say we dont have time to make a mistake and we go with what we know because its safe, or we let someone else do it for us. All of this robs us of the joy of using our hands and our minds to take a chance and create something that is truly special.

RAW BREAKFAST GRANOLA

0
This is by far my favorite way to start the day. Topped with fruit, it leaves you satisfied and gives you energy to conquer your day. And its sooo good!

Raw Breakfast Granola

The Recipe:

serves 4

  • 2 cups raw almonds, soaked for 8 hours in water and drained
  • Small handful of raw walnuts or pecans
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • Juice of one lemon
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 – 1/2 cup organic rolled oats (optional)
  • Water

I recommend soaking the almonds overnight. I soak a whole 16oz bag in a bowl at a time and store them in the fridge. Then they’re ready for the week!

Place almonds, walnuts or pecans, raisins, lemon juice and cinnamon in the blender and chop until crumbly. Scoop into a bowl and add small amount of water to moisten. Add oats (optional). Top with fresh fruit. Enjoy!
