How to Make Healthy, Gluten-Free Granola

May 23, 2018

My family loves this healthy gluten-free granola recipe! | M Loves M @marmar

Have you noticed that I’ve been posting new videos to my YouTube? In the process of uploading a new one, I realized I had this video I never posted from before we moved! This healthy, gluten-free granola is one of my favorites and watching this video is inspiring me to make another batch STAT! I am a huge granola girl- the crunchier the better. I love that this version doesn’t have any oats, and is instead made with lots of filling, nutrient-rich ingredients. This granola is amazing with almond milk in the mornings, or as a snack in the afternoons. I even love to have a bowl for dessert!

Check out the video to find out how to make healthy, gluten-free granola!

Goodbye 2015: Highlights from the Year

December 31, 2015

reflecting on 2015 and the new year M Loves M
New Years Eve always feels a little bittersweet to me. As excited as I am for a new year and a new start, I get sad about memories from the year moving further away. This year was full with the normal amount of highs and lows, but luckily it seems to have been a lot better than 2014! That year was a tough one over here!

Alaska Travel Diary- Victoria, BC

June 19, 2015
Travel Diary with Princess Cruises Victoria, BC M Loves M @marmar
I know, I know! Victoria BC is not Alaska, but it was our final stop on our Alaskan Princess Cruise. On our last afternoon we went into Canada. My first official time to Canada, unless you count our Skagway train ride. We took a drive around the city, seeing the pretty houses by the water, the University of Victoria, and even the largest watering can. When we drove past this beautiful field during the late afternoon we had to stop and take some photos since the lighting was so pretty. Then we went to The Empress Hotel for a Twilight Tea. It was so fun to sit down for a bit and drink their special tea blend, along with the most delicious scones and sandwiches. Afterwards, we took a 20 minute walk back to the ship, and took in the beauty of Victoria at night. It felt so magical with all the lights sparkling off the water.

I’ve posted about all of the excursions we did in Alaska, although I do have a few outfit posts coming up over the next week or so. This trip with Princess Cruises, if you haven’t already gathered from the posts, was absolutely unbelievable. I had the best time and just looking at these posts makes me miss it so much. I am so grateful for this incredible opportunity to visit new places and try new things. 
See more of my Alaska trip! Also, I added more photos to my Juneau post so make sure to check it out!
