If you know us at all, you’ve probably heard us talk about this once or twice before. Well friends, the time has finally come. We are about to set out on a new adventure; an adventure of the grandest scale (and no I don’t mean children). This is not one based in the mountains, or on a rock-face in the middle of the desert, or even one in a new city. Our next adventure is that of the sea and there, the world will become our playground…our back yard…our home.
In true Challis fashion, we like to break the rules of tradition on nearly every “holiday” or near holiday event. We decided to celebrate “Love Day” which is dubbed as such because it falls the day before Valentines day! We don’t like to celebrate Valentines because we feel like the Hallmark holiday is overly predictable and kinda lame. So we like Love Day – a day to celebrate everything we love – things that we do, foods we eat, company we keep… each other…and so on.
I am just loving this whole “cooking foods from scratch” thing that we’ve been embarking on for the last 8 months! This week we explored the adventures of homemade almond milk, which we use in our fruit and veggie smoothies that we make each morning. I found almond milk is super easy and with the leftover pulp it makes a really yummy granola! And now I’d like to share with you those recipes so that all of you blog readers can make your very own almond milk and/or granola.
Jake & Jill Adventures is your personal adventure guide to adventures – everywhere! Our mission is to get people outdoors to explore the world in a new and unbelievable way. It’s really that simple.
So if you are sick and tired of those boring old vacations, doing the same things, watching the same TV, eating the same food, and living the same life (with the same people), it might be time for a change! Jake & Jill Adventures thrives on danger and excitement. So whether you dream of cycling the winding roads of Zion, sailing through the Galapagos Islands, trekking through Rocky Mountains, or cruising in an epic RV Trip to Yellowstone National Park, we are here to help you live the dream!
Last week, Jake and I went to Native Foods Cafe, which is vegetarian/vegan restaurant in Boulder. We were AMAZED at how tasty the food was, especially since he got a “bacon cheeseburger” that was vegan – and OH SO GOOD, and I got a meatball sub, which was also vegan and OH SO GOOD AGAIN. So, I thought, I want to try to make vegan meatballs, but make it as good as the Native Foods Cafe version.
We had an extra-special weekend last week (well now a little more than a week ago), when Joe and Julie surprised us with a weekend visit to good ol’ Colorado! They had never been out here before, at least to Boulder, so we wanted to show them some old school Colorado experiences. This is also the first time that we have a “guest blog” on our blog, as Julie took the liberty of posting many of the highlights of the trip.
