Going to take a class :)

I'm  going to take the OSHA 10 hour training class on line  in hopes I get the  job. If I do get it I will have to have it any way so I'm going to take it any way.

I made some hand soap today and it  works great too. well I'm off to pay some bills and get some stuff done. I may  have KK and Grayson tonight so have lots to get done. 

Hand Cleaner

Leaves hands feeling super soft but can cut the tough stuff (like when I work in the garden)
Sam uses this when he gets grease on him, and it works fantastic!!

What you need:
Sugar
Mason Jar or similar container with lid
Dawn dish soap with Olay (whatever scent you prefer)

Fill the mason jar 3/4 of the way to the top. I used the little jelly ones. Size of the jar doesn't matter, just as long as you fill it 3/4 of the way. Pour in the Dawn until it is just below the rim and mix well with a spoon or whatever you have handy and you're done! (it should be a paste-like consistency, if not, add a little more sugar until it is) How easy is that?! You can get cute little ribbons and tie around the jars and they make great gifts!

Pumpkin pie infused breakfast cake made with quinoa flakes, pumpkin and chia seeds. Delicious, quick, gluten-free, and vegan, too!

Notes

If you don’t have pumpkin spice, you can use: 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg and ¼ teaspoon all spice instead. Topping used in photographs: melted coconut butter

Let’s talk about quinoa for a second, kay?
Quinoa may look like a grain, but it’s actually a tini-tiny seed. It has high levels of amino acids, lysine and isoleucine, which makes it a complete protein source (meaning that it has all essential amino acids).
What is the difference between quinoa flakes and quinoa seeds?

Quinoa seeds can be boiled like rice and used in salads, soups or stews like I did with smokey bear quinoa, cranberry mango salad, or this warm kale pilaf.
Quinoa flakes are crushed quinoa seeds. They’re a lot like quick oats but are gluten-free, grain-free and taste awful on their own. Ha… really, they do. But they work fabulously as a replacement for bread crumbs and are really good in quinoa flake bakes.

So now that we got all that out of the way…
Prepping this recipe couldn’t be simpler. Add everything to a bowl, mix it around, place it in a dish, cook and consume.


Eating pumpkin never tasted this good.

Hey, did I mention that this totally constitutes as breakfast?
