Adventures in Pictures: Kids at play

LOLA!

We have a new member in the family! Our new pet Umbrella Cockatoo Lola! Which, did you know that Umbrella Cockatoo's are one of the only birds that actually like to cuddle with you? They are very affectionate, super social and highly intelligent creatures.

She's pretty awesomely beautiful! Her delicate white feathers and exotic crest along with her fun moves and sounds! We're still getting acquainted with one another, but very soon we'll have her perched up on our shoulders, and flying around the house, for Rox's sake. 

For the past 2 years, the poor kid begged for a pet parrot, asking Santa for one every Christmas and birthday, while having to make due with books, YouTube videos and a real life puppet version. 

But then came Lola, who was given to us with the need of a loving family and a forever home. His dream has come true!

And I should mention that she has another 90+ years left in her... Wish us Luck!

Rox and with his puppet Macaw, one day.

Banana Crumbles.

 

So today due to lack of food in the fridge, I was inspired to make this healthy, quick, simple, and most of all delicious snack that also happened to be #organic and #vegan, yatta yatta yatta....

I call it Banana Crumbles.

To make you need:

• 1 Banana cut down in half 

• Nut butter smothered all over {I used smooth raw peanut butter}

•  Fresh fruit topping {I only had 3 strawberries}

• Crunch Crumble {Now if you'll like a short cut, you're store bought granola will do the trick. But if you own a mini grinder here's what I used.

• Cashew, Almond, Walnuts
• Flax Seeds & Chia Seeds
• Whole rolled oats {hold the oats for gluten free}
• Dairy- Free Chocolate chips 

I made a lot of crumble so now I sprinkle it on everything! Oh yea, and these bananas taste like a banana split! Try it!
