Fall Spice Nut Butter {MMAZ #53}

Bringing the flavors of fall to nut butter with this simple and delicious recipe. If you haven't tried this yet, what are you waiting for? All you need is nuts & a food processor (or a good blender)!

This weekend I decided the house didn’t feel like Fall. All the trees outside have decorated for the season, with more colors that I remember seeing in the past few years. Vibrant yellows, bright reds, burnt orange, and a few green leaves hanging on. It’s like looking at a painting when you look out the window.

We had a ladies event at church on Friday, that inspired me to do something about it. I always love when the house is decorated, but it always feel like it’s so expensive to do it “right”. At the event, they had tables decorated for Thanksgiving and Christmas – everything from plates, glassware, tablecloths, and centerpieces – which they gave away throughout the evening. When someone asked where the plates were from, they went from table to table and explained they were from Wal-Mart, Dollar Tree, King Sooper, and Hobby Lobby. Really? I would have never looked at those stores for decorating!

So on Sunday afternoon, I made the rounds and found a few things at each store. For $30, the house feels so much warmer! It’s amazing what a few plates, table runners, and fake leaves can do.

In the spirit of Fall, I wanted this week’s Meatless Mondays from A-Z creation to be brimming with Fall flavor. I had a slightly different taste in mind when I started making this nut butter, but what came out is better than what I had in mind. It’s almost like a Fall-Gingerbread-Brownie. That’s a bit of a mouthful, so I shortened it to a Fall Spice Nut Butter. I know you’re going to LOVE this one!

Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine lake or shredding on a local trail? ⬇️

In both cases, we need to protect the land we enjoy on our adventures. And Leave No Trace is one program that helps with that - especially those that have a high rate of degradation through a program called Hot Spots. 

I'm excited to be partnering with @leavenotrace and @onxbackcountry to celebrate and preserve all these beautiful outdoor places. And for all of June, $10 of every onX Backcountry membership is being donated towards Leave No Trace’s Hot Spot program. A great way to get access to my favorite backcountry app AND support LNT! 

I added a link in my bio if you're interested in learning more, so you can help #ExploreandRestore!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸 But reall Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?
