Frozen Grapes Covered in Yogurt

It really feels like summer has arrived and with it come thoughts of cool, summery snacks. If I could I would eat gelato every day, twice a day, but if I want to keep things a little healthier I need to find some healthy tasty alternatives. I love the look of these yogurt covered frozen grapes. I love popping grapes in the freezer in the summer, they are such a delightful snack but this recipe takes them to the next level of deliciousness. Yogurt and pistachio bits elevate them to candy status. Hello summer snack!

Cupcake ATM

I saw this genius invention on Oh Joy and now I want to know why Toronto doesn't have one. Every corner should have a cupcake dispensing machine shouldn't it? What do you do if you need a cupcake in the middle of the night and there are none to be found? You never know when a sugar craving will strike.

Easiest Cookie Ever!!

I don't think this wondrous concoction can even qualify as a cookie. How do I describe it? It is kind of like a fancy lace cookie. Almost transparent when you hold it up to the light, it is so thin. It is crispy, delicate, oh so fancy and would look heavenly tucked into the corner of a scoop of ice cream. How is this beautiful wafer-y delicacy made you ask? Buy an Eatmore candy bar, slice it into eight equal pieces, bake it on a cookie sheet for 8 minutes at 325 degrees and there you have it. Is that crazy or what?!

Upcycled Watering Can

It's officially gardening season! I don't have the greenest of thumbs but I do love the idea of planting a few edibles and herbs this summer. You can't get any more local than picking something out of your own garden. I am going to start with a few wee plants and see how it goes. Since I am in the gardening mood I was thrilled to see this brilliant tutorial on making a watering can from an old plastic jug. What a great way to recycle and nourish your own plants. I am feeling so inspired!

Yoga Inspiration

I am grateful every day that I can do yoga. It keeps me sane when things are going crazy around me, it inspires me and it is a huge part of my life. This inspiring video has been making the rounds but I have to share it here. Get your hankies ready and then pull out your yoga mat!
