Spring Bucket List 2021

Spring Bucket List 2021- Shutterbean.com

I started making this Spring Bucket List last year with the intention of sharing it, but COVID happened and everything changed. We spent a lot of time at home. I spent a lot of time in my yard. Spring slowed down for a bit and we were able to soak it in with a slower pace of life.

My word for 2020 was GROW and I took that seriously with my garden. Here’s what I drew in the Spring section of my Currently Workbook last year. 

This is what I am working with this year with my Spring Bucket List. Hopefully, things will progress here in California and we will be able to have more freedom back in our life after lockdown. 

It will be so nice to be able to look forward to things again.

Baked Apples with Oat Crumble

Baked Apples with Oat Crumble

You know what’s another good way (besides applesauce) to use up apples that are starting to soften because you neglected them all week and opted for chips instead of fruit?  Baked Apples with Oat Crumble! 

Baked Apples with Oat Crumble

If you’re looking for a dessert that could also be breakfast or breakfast that could also be dessert, I think you’ll like this. 

Here it is served warm with a scoop of Greek yogurt on the side with my morning TO DO list!

Baked Apples with Oat Crumble

Oh but we’re feeling more dessert-like now, huh?

ICE CREAM enters the picture.

Hook an old apple up!
