I wonder if the hummocks are in that field because there is more moisture there? I know that different plants grow in different soil and moisture conditions.
The mug is beautiful, but way too big for my needs most of the time. I would prefer a smaller mug, but I can see that most people prefer the larger one. I hope you sell out quickly!
20 oz please. Lol
Could you use a cookie scoop to help form the protein balls?
I LOVE the larger mug!
I absolutely love the large mug. Beautiful colour is perfect in the earthy tones. Amazing. Looking forward to being able to purchase it.
The recipe I use for protein cookies is extremely simple. They're called "Impossible Cookies" because they contain no flour or dairy.
1 C. Natural Peanut Butter (I use Crazy Richard's)
1 C. tightly packed Dark Brown Sugar
1 large Egg
1 tsp. real Almond or Vanilla extract (adults seem to prefer Almond, but kids lean towards Vanilla, but EITHER or even ½&½ works)
Mix all ingredients together till well incorporated.
Roll dough into balls 1 to 1½ inches in size (3 or 4 cm).
Lay balls out on a cookie sheet about 1 or 2 knuckle-widths apart. For larger flatter cookies, flatten with a fork, for smaller thicker cookies leave the dough balls unflattened.
Bake at 350° F (176° C) for 13-17 minutes till barely starting to color on top.
Allow to cool before removing from cookie sheet, or if using a silicone liner, slide liner off cookie sheet with cookies still on it until they cool, since hot cookies tend to fall apart.
I LOVE the BIG MUG!!!💙💚 I'm so excited for your pre-sale!!!
I love a large mug for my tea. Makes it so cozy to hold on cold mornings/evenings.
I love the bigger mug!!!! I also prefer the large mugs!
I love a big mug. I don't drink tea but I make soup all the time and use a large mug .
Big mug
Love the 16 oz.
So nice! Both sizes would be great to offer. I’d use the smaller size for tea.
Smaller cups
❤ love the mugs ! We have sooooo much potery in our house and would love to add to our collection . I like a good big mug so I vote 16oz for me.
THANKS for all the videos. I missed the group zoom tonight but will watch h the replay.

Love the big mug!

Love the date concept. I intend to try these with peanut butter and a macadamia nut. Great tip about the coconut oil ❤ fantastic video, from Coryn, Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺
What about substituting sugar for monk fruit. Personally, I can't tell the difference and 0 glucose. That view outside your sliding glass door is beautiful!
I make yummy protein balls! I add 2 cups of oats, half a cup of local honey, one cup of peanut butter, flax and chia seeds, chocolate chips, chocolate protein powder and unreal M&Ms. My toddler loves them and so do I!
Could you use a small cookie scooper sprayed with oil when putting your granola balls on the pan?
I love the 17oz, the size,colour, shape and handle. I really love the veges! Are they going to be available for those of use overseas to purchase? Thank you for using normal sized dates, I'm going to make some of these. The medjool dates are a medJEWEL price here in NZ!
16 oz mug is my favorite, look forward to availability.
Would love the larger one.
Love the larger one!!!
Good video thank you for sharing. And yes, that sun set was gorgeous ❤
Love the mug, especially the size.
Love the mug…………Personally – I love bigger months..but it would be nice to have both options. ❤
That mug is beautiful! Definitely the bigger size. Also dates are good with a slice of cheddar cheese.
I vote larger! Love love the veggies!
I’d love the big one
Smaller mugs for tea here.
The larger mugs
16 oz!
Hmmm…12oz for coffee, 16oz for hot cocoa.
16oz preferred. Someone who wants 12 oz need not fill the mug full.
16 ounce mug. Less refills for my coffee. 😂❤
Big mug, both both will work. Big mug is great for soups and stews. Small mug also works for the same thing, plus beverages. If you use the small mug, you just get second servings or add bread and/or additional items (aka 1/2 sandwich).
As for your dates, I have used a Giada recipe for stuffed dates for years. I am not a sweet follower, but like sweets. I am more a savory person. For her recipe I added a spread of peach butter. It takes it to the next level. I will definately try your recipe. I am always looking for yummy snacks. Thanks for the video. So many possibilities.
I love 20 oz mug.
Are you able to find almond butter without palm oil? I can’t.
Hey, do you wanna become the 51st state of America? Just asking
Big mug
Love the mug! Me and my wife vote the 16oz mug!
Great snack recipes; I love dates & have lots to use up! Thanks for sharing & I love your lighting in your kitchen,even when it’s darker; it’s so soft to the eyes. I like the 12 oz. Mugs because I have small wrists & hands. Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦🌲
Love the 16 Ounce mug🌸
