Up first, the what’s not…. Ants. I freaking cannot stand ants. They are lovin’ Will’s high chair right now. If you’ve got any eco-friendly tips on how to manage these things, lemme know. They are going DOWN.
And, now onto what’s hot…

Reorganizing and Redecorating. I’m cleaning up shop at the Harding house while the hubs has been out of town. The first thing I tackled was the office and cables, next I redecorated the dining room table. Not sure what my next project is going to be, but I thinking maybe the coffee table….
What I love about each of these recipes though is you can eyeball all of the ingredients. If it turns out dry, add more wet ingredients or vice versa. Also, you can sub any kind of dried fruit, chocolate chips, sweetened shredded coconut for the mix-ins. Have fun and use what you have on hand!

Oatmeal Cranberry Granola Balls (Vegan)
Ingredients:
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup flour (I like unbleached all-purpose, but whole wheat or oat flour would be fine too)

1/4 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup dried cranberries.
Stir all ingredients together, portion into balls and roll. Keep in airtight container for up to two weeks.
