Accessorizing

August 21, 2013 by Aliesha

It’s always amazing to me how a couple of cute accessories and painted nails can turn an otherwise “boring” outfit into something cute!  Today on She {hearts} It, I’m reviewing (and giving away!) some maternity-safe nail polish (which you will enjoy, pregnant or not!) from Knocked Up Nails.  Read the review and enter the giveaway here!

Honey Nut Butter Cookies

August 20, 2013 by Aliesha

This post has also been posted on Baking Whole Grains, a site I write for which compensates me for sharing whole grain recipes.  While I receive compensation, this does not influence my opinions.  All photos and directions are my own. 

Despite the name, these cookies can be made allergy-friendly (dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free) just by subbing the nut butter with sunflower butter!  So while the photos show almond butter, you can easily substitute Sunbutter (we like the Trader Joe’s brand)!

Things I love about these cookies: they are whole grain, they use honey instead of refined sugar, and they include a healthy fat (coconut oil).  They are also simple to make!

It’s easy to whip up a quick batch of these yummy cookies today!

Honey Nut Butter Cookies (dairy-free, egg-free, can be nut-free)
(adapted from here)

1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour, freshly ground
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1/2 cup smooth nut butter (almond butter, peanut butter, or allergy friendly: sunflower seed butter)
1/2 cup honey
3 Tbsp. coconut oil (liquid)
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Grind wheat in the WonderMill.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat baking mat (my preference).

In a bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together nut butter, honey, coconut oil, and vanilla.

Add liquid mixture to dry mixture and mix just until all the flour is incorporated.

Using a cookie scoop, form balls from the dough and place on the cookie sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes, then allow to cool for 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy!

Vera’s Three!

August 19, 2013 by Aliesha

Our sweet Vera turned THREE years old today!  We’ve had a great (busy) day celebrating, so I’m just now getting the post up.

We are so blessed to have such an energetic, inquisitive, high-spirited little girl!

Vera amazes us every day with how smart she is and how large her vocabulary is!

We love her fun personality and her darling giggle!

Vera is growing in obedience and responsibility, and we are so pleased by her desire to do the right thing!

Vera is a great big sister to Cordelia and we know she is going to lavish her new baby brother with love as well!

We are thankful God gave us our beautiful daughter three years ago today!

Happy third birthday, Vera!
