Peppermint patties: only 3 ingredients!!!

Ok, for anyone who is not eating gluten dairy or sugar, or for anyone who just wants a delicious and healthy peppermint pattie, I have the solution. Here is a recipe for peppermint patties that only contain 3 things: unsweetened bakers chocolate, raw honey and peppermint oil. This little recipe will change your life!!

To make 10

Ingredients:

3 squares of unsweetened bakers chocolate

1/2 cup of raw honey (make sure it is the solid kind or you can use spun honey)

peppermint oil to taste (use a peppermint oil that is mixed with a carrier oil)

10 cupcake liners (you can also use the really small ones to make lots of little patties)

Directions:

Melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a pan. spread a thin layer of the chocolate on the bottom and 1/4 of the way up the sides of the cupcake liner (it may take some practice to get it perfect). Stick the liners with the chocolate shell in the fridge. Mix together the honey and the peppermint oil. Put a scoop of the honey mixture in each shell and spread it so that the whole bottom is covered in a thick layer. Lastly, cover the top of them with a very thin layer of melted chocolate. Put back in the fridge until the chocolate is hardened. Enjoy!!

Old photographs

Yesterday my parents and I sorted through old family photographs. We found some that dated back to the late 1800's! I love looking at old pictures and learning about my family history. Here are some of my favorite pictures I came across.

Here are my grandparents sitting in from of their brand new TV.

It was the first one on the block! So crazy.

Here is my great grandma holding my grandma at six months old.

I think my great grandma was gorgeous!

Here is another picture of my great grandma. She is the one in the

middle. I just love those swimsuits!

This is my crazy great uncle Alex. I never met him, but I can

imagine that he was just a little bit crazy.

Passage to India

My best friend is flying to India today! I am so stinkin' excited for her! I'm sure she will find lots of beautiful things over there. Here are some pretty Indian inspired trinkets I found on etsy today.

Crustless Quiche

Ok, seriously, this is pretty much the easiest thing in the world to make! I call this quiche the garbage grinder because once I have the egg base made I just add whatever I can find in the fridge.

The base of this quiche is just 4 eggs and 1 cup of rice milk. After the eggs and milk are mixed together, you can add whatever you want!

For this one I used:

bell peppers

broccoli

onions

mushrooms

sliced turkey meat cut into pieces

thyme

dill

salt

pepper

Mix all of the chopped veggies, meat and seasonings in with the egg mixture. Oil a large pie tin. Pour the mixture into the pie tin and bake at 350° for 45 minutes to one hour.
