Halloween Pinterest Fail! Nailed it!

So I saw this awesome venus fly trap on Pinterest for Halloween .......

I so wanted to recreate it, and it looked simple enough. The site explained the method and materials very clearly. I can so do this, I told myself. Though, I wouldn't be able to find the pumpkin head very easily. So I decided I would paper mache something up. As I layered upon layered gluey newspaper strips onto a halloween lantern from the Hot Dollar shop I was starting to think, why have I chosen such a silly way to do this project? It  must have been the fogging brain taking over as the flu crept upon me.  I soldiered on, and created this.....

No stem, no pot plant base. It does look scary but for all the wrong reasons. I had to prop the mouth open with something otherwise the mouth would close and it would look like nothing at all. One day I will make something awesome for Halloween...one day!!!

Healthy Breakfast Choice

If you want something healthy and filling for breakfast without being to fussy, this is a good way to go. I don't have a particular name for this.  It is completely versatile and you can choose your own adventure, so to speak, with the ingredients. This time I chose:

1 medium sized banana chopped
2 ripe medium sized strawberries chopped
1 handful of raw almonds chopped
some shredded coconut
some chia seeds
some golden flax seeds
honey to taste

This is dairy free, gluten free, processed sugar free, and suitably vegan. I am not a real vegan, but I do love vegan recipes and make them often. I do have to have dairy free, though I have to admit I still eat ice cream now and then and I don't check every stinkin' label for no traces of dairy, but I do feel much better leading a dairy free lifestyle as much as I possibly can. Hope you like this recipe:)
