Yet Another Green Barn/Garage with Loft

Very easy on the eyes from the dining balcony.

Fabulous loft above.

Views of the sheep farm in the distance.

Storybook Cottage

I love the stonework around the windows and at the corners.

Realtor Open House with Chickens

I went to a great realtor open house today and they had a chicken coop. I took a short video that I put on Instagram. You can watch it here. The humans' house was fabulous too. xo

Best Laundry Room (Closet)

Isn't this great? I love the old office door on the barn door track so much in this setting. There are so many clever people out there, aren't there? via

My Wisteria

My wisteria is blooming and it smells heavenly.

I trimmed it back rather severely in the fall as I always do and that never seems to bother the next year's flowers. The daffodils are finally finished and I miss them.

Happy Mother's Day

Nobody loves you like your Mother!

Miss you.

Great Vegetable Protein Chart

Good to know. I think I'll start adding green peas to my homemade hummus to increase the protein content. via Enjoy your Saturday night and the rest of the weekend. xo

Scallion Pancakes from Trader Joe's

These are really and truly the best things I have ever tasted. There are 4 in a package for $3.99(?). The scallion pancakes are flash frozen so they don't stick together. I cook them one at a time in a small iron skillet with a very small amount of Avocado Oil in the bottom of the pan. I buy the organic oil at Costco because it is safe at high heat temperatures up to 500°. I don't make a dipping sauce, but I spread a little Bragg's Liquid Aminos on top. It is a natural soy sauce alternative with no wheat. I use it as an all purpose seasoning on almost everything and it really pumps up the flavor. It has 16 amino acids too. I wish I had the spray bottle, beause that would be perfect. Okay now, getting back to the pancakes. I keep flipping them until they are nice and crispy and when they are ready I fold two of those select-a-size paper towels in half and sandwich my pancake inside and put something heavy on top to squeeze out the excess oil.

I recently went to an Asian Fusion Restaurant in town with a friend and we ordered a variety of delicious items to share. When she invited me, she mentioned scallion pancakes and I was anxious to try them. WELL, was I ever disappointed. At $5.00 each, they didn't even come close to Trader Joe's. They aren't paying me to advertise them either. 

I found a recipe for making them at home on Pinterest that I want to try very soon. I will use the vegetables listed on the Trader Joe's wrapper instead of the ones listed in this recipe.

Have a great weekend. I hope I didn't bore you this morning. xo
