awhile back, i caught the keynote speech from a blogger conference from one of the pinterest* founders, ben silverman. one of the things he said really stuck with me.
i realize that i spend too much time viewing blogs and not enough time doing the things those blogs inspire me to do.
one of the biggest things is cooking! unless you consider grilled cheese cooking, i’ve never really cooked. my eating habits closely resemble those of my 4-year old niece. bread. cheese. bread. i’m the vegetarian who doesn’t eat vegetables. but the times, they are a changin’…
the internet makes cooking easier for novices like me, you can youtube videos on how to cook a butternut squash, how to zest a lemon, how to prepare asparagus. it’s endless, and i’m loving it.
even if it’s one small thing a week, i think it’s a great goal to STEP. AWAY. FROM. THE. IPHONE. IPAD. IMAC. and do something that inspires you.
“talk is cheap. it takes money to buy whiskey.”
one of my all-time favorites from my dad. i think i learned that one around age 4. can you imagine a mini-me in pink ballet tights telling my babysitter, “talk is cheap…”
i digress,
the point is…i made these raspberry oat bars yesterday and i’m bringing them to the shop to share them today (lest i eat the entire tray solo.)
happy friday, come visit! xox
*have you guys starting “pinning” yet? i know, i know, one more interweb thing….room6 is on pinterest and i gotta say, even though i’m a complete newbie, it’s pretty neat. in a nutshell, pinterest is a virtual pin board to keep track of things you stumble across (and like) on the internet. for example, if you’re planning a retirement party, you could “pin” images of cakes, food, venues, invites, etc. that you like. you can “pin” images of houses that inspire you, recipes you’d like to make, d.i.y.s you’d like to d.i.y (or have your husband diy for you)…you name it.

Is that your library catalogue featured on your pinterest board?
nope, it was one i found on design sponge, i loved the before & after they did with it. am considering splitting mine up like that to make it more functional. then i’d get one at home and one in the shop. on the other hand, it’s seems a bit tragic to take it apart. hmmmm…..
umm, do you have any of those bars left?
kidding. well, not really, they look fantabulous.
sorry ingrid, they’re gone! BUT…i’m inspired to have baking thursdays resulting in sharing fridays! so every friday (or at least lots of them) i will be serving treats! it’s fun to share, and also a good thing not to eat everything by myself.
The raspberry pecan bar was lovely….thank you so very much megs for sharing…I didn’t even share a crumb with my boys…..it was beautiful!!!
