signs of spring: 🐝 🌸🌱

i loved the snow this year, but we’re starting to see the grass now and i can’t hold my excitement! Dan and I have some big plans this spring and i can’t wait😊 i was sitting out in the sun today and this little man landed next to me! almost stung me for getting my camera too close😂 but it’s nice to see the bees starting to come out!

Warmer weather ahead calls for this fruity brussel sprout salad! Save it for when it hits 60 (aka NEXT WEEK🥳) and you want something refreshing! All you need are brussel sprouts, strawberries, grapes, an apple, raisins, and raw pepitas!

Today i made it without grapes but they go perfectly in this salad! My favorite are red grapes but you can use any that you like. For apples we usually use a honeycrisp, jazz, or pink lady but again, use whatever you like best!

Fruity Brussel Sprout Salad
- 1lb brussel sprouts, stemmed n shredded
- 1/2 large Apple, diced
- 10 strawberries, sliced
- about 1.5 C grapes, halved
- 1/2 cup raw pepitas
- 1/4 cup golden raisins

Dressing
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tbs maple syrup (more if you want to cut the tartness of the vinegar)

Slow Sunday morning started off w some French press ☕️ normally we make our coffee w the aero press, but when we have a little bit more time we like to use the French press. Bc we don’t use this everyday, i can never remember the measurements lol so this time i just wrote them right on it! Today we used our espresso beans from .coffee.beacon and it was really good. Extremely smooth w no bitter aftertaste💯

French Press Coffee (makes 2 cups)
- 7tbs coarsely ground coffee
- 3 cups water at 195 degrees

Pour your water over the ground coffee, stir it up and let sit for 8-10 minutes. Press and enjoy!

- sharp cheddar (this is the best cheddar)
- Pastrami
- Dijon mustard

butter up your pan n put both slices down. place the cheese slices on one piece of bread, top w pastrami, then dijon on the other slice. let brown slightly, then put the pieces together. turn heat to low, brown both sides n cover so cheese melts😋
