Happy October & Happy Harvest

Updated: Dec 4, 2019

MORE ABOUT MARC & BARB: This month Marc and Barb will both be taking a trip north to enjoy all the fall festivities and take in the fall colors! Marc is headed to our family cabin in GA and Barb is headed to the Blue Ridge Mountains in VA. 


We're thinking all things pumpkin, pecan, apples, leaves, sweaters and boots. We can't wait! Speaking of all things fall...we asked you on Instagram this month what kind of fall recipe you'd like us to whip up for you and you voted for BROWNIES! We think you'll love this healthier version of traditional brownies fall-ified with pumpkin, pecans and cinnamon. The recipe calls for the brownies to be slightly underbaked for a more ooey-gooey texture - make sure to cool them completely before serving so they hold their shape! They are fluffy yet chewy, moist and slightly sweet. Have a few friends over, pour the hot chocolate and serve these up! Then take a pic, tag us on Instagram and let us know what you think!


Healthy Harvest "Brownie" Bars RECIPE:

Dry Ingredients 1 3/4 cups rolled oats (grind rolled oats about three minutes in a food processor until a flour forms)

1/2 cup pecans (pulse in food processor to crumbs)

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Wet Ingredients 1 1/2 cups (about one can) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

3 flax eggs (3 tbs ground flax and 9 tbs water - let sit five minutes)

3/4-1 cup maple syrup (depending on how sweet you'd like them!)

1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional: 1/2 dark chocolate bar broken into chunks or one cup chocolate chips

Directions: Make the flax "eggs" in a bowl. Combine all dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add the flax egg and all other wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until combined. Pour the mixture into an 8x8 pan. Bake at 350 for 30 mins. Cool completely before serving.

SHOP UPDATES:

In the month of September we launched TEES! We've had a blast making tees for you and seeing you wear them last month. For anyone who hasn't ordered one yet, remember we can do all our designs from the shop on a tee or on our canvas bags.

We now do CANVAS BAGS in the original natural organic cotton color as well as black and white with your choice of color for the vinyl! In September, did some custom order tees and bags for special occasions this month like kindergarten back to school and for a bridal party for an upcoming wedding! We are always happy to work with you to design a tee or bag that fits your needs so don't hesitate to reach out (DM us on Instagram or respond to this email!)

WHAT'S NEW IN OCTOBER? October is breast cancer awareness month! Be sure to watch the shop for new shirt and bag designs dedicated to raising awareness for breast cancer and for a scrunchie pattern dedicated to sufferers and survivors. We also added a new pink paint color for the finish on our scruchie holders. A portion of the proceeds from all of these new these products will be donated to breast cancer research.
