Sweet Success


Last night I had total failure making "sweet and sour meat(less)balls". I was so bummed, the pic was gorgeous, I was hungry, and I ended up with a big pot of sweet and sour chili.

Anyways, this morning, I made, "Strawberry-Mango Crisp"----DEEEEElicious!
I am having some right now, and so thankful for some sweet success.

Here's the recipe--so easy!:

For the fruit mixture:
1 qt. quartered strawberries
2 cups diced mango
1/4 cup sugar (i used sucanat)
1/4 cup flour

For the topping:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine

Preheat oven to 400.
Mix the ingredients for the fruit mixture in a bowl. Spread evenly into a 2 qt. casserole dish. set aside.

Mix the dry ingredients for the topping together in a medium bowl. Cut in the margarine until the mixture resembles small peas. Spread evenly over the fruit mixture. bake for 35-45 minutes, or until bubbly. serve warm w/ nondairy ice cream (that's what these intstructions say, i am not eating it w/any ice cream, cuz it's my breakfast).

I GIVE IT A 10!!!!

Camping Trip





We went camping in Joshua Tree last week, it was tons of fun. The site we stayed in was gorgeous, and surrounded by huge boulders and Joshua Tree's. The weather was nice, the sun was blaring, but it was quite cool at the same time. Lyric had a lot of fun digging in the dirt with his little shovel. He also enjoyed snuggling up next to me at nights by the campfire.
