Today I'll be making a list of chores and tasks to accomplish in... February, now that January is nearly gone.
I'd really hoped to get more things done this month, I have some files to tackle, some areas of the house to organize, and my home office is looking a little confused. That's fine, it's just time for a new list... onwards and upwards!
I made a big batch of granola yesterday and it filled the house with the lovely scent of ginger and toasting oats.
It was actually a fairly basic recipe for granola: I toasted oats with sliced almonds, and a teaspoon each of ginger and cinnamon, after covering them with a mixture of maples syrup and grapeseed oil.
Once they were through their toasting process in the 300 oven, I returned the mixture to the bowl and added in about a cup and a half of hemp hearts and the same amount of raisins.
These hemp heart seed things are quite the nutritional powerhouses. I'm trying to make sure we eat them every day, either sprinkled on a protein smoothie, or a pureed soup at lunch, or in a granola such as this recipe. You can read about their nutritional qualities

I started reading this Swedish Death Cleaning book yesterday and I'm nearly finished, I shall report back with a full review tomorrow.
Let's just say it's the sort of book I love: it's about organizing, letting go of objects, the meaning of those objects, all told from the point of view of a lovely Swedish lady "between 80 and 100 years old".
Hope your Monday goes well with tasks and chores crossed off your lists!
