TRAIL BAR
8
’ve been working on the perfect trail bar on and off for years, one that has a no nut and no nutbutter option. No gluten, no refined sugar, just the right crunch and chew, and no banana (personal preference). Friends… HERE IT IS! If you have a scale, use it and follow the weight measurements.

DIRECTIONS STEP ONE
Preheat oven to 325˚F, line a cookie sheet with parchment. Also line a square brownie pan (8x8 or 9x9) with parchment, overhanging on all sides. STEP TWO
Place the oats and almonds on the cookie sheet. Place them in the oven for 5 minutes, remove and add the sunflower, pumpkin and sesame seeds to the tray (don’t mix them, keep them separate) and cook for another 10 minutes (so that the oats and almonds have a total of 15 minutes). STEP THREE
Let them cool a bit, then put them in the food processor with the dates and cranberries, pulse them a few times so that everything gets chopped a little, remove to a large bowl. Add the remainder of the Dry Nut and Seed Mixture ingredients to the bowl, mix well. STEP FOUR
In a small pot, melt together on med-low the wet ingredients, whisking to make it smooth, about 4-5 minutes, it does not need to boil. STEP FIVE
Pour the hot tahini mixture over the nut and seed mixture and using gloved hands and a spatula, mix the hot tahini mixture into the nut and seed mixture until it is uniform. Pour the mixture into prepared brownie pan and press it firmly into the pan. Place in the fridge for a couple of hours to firm up. Lift the parchment/bars out of the pan and cut into 25-30 squares or bars. STEP SIX

with 2018's TOP TRENDING
COLOUR hether you've been a loyalist to the same shade of green for the last decade or if you're an evolving follower of trends whose colour choices have shifted over the years, the trending colour of 2018 is sure to surprise and intrigue you. Indeed, black is back. But how was this classic shade named the trending colour of the year? While many assume the choice is random, trending colours are based on many influencers, but where do they really begin? Trending colours arise from consumer preferences, which are formed by societal influences, such as politics, economics, lifestyle and overall sentiment. We as a society hold the power of prompting new colour trends based on our everchanging attitudes, ideas and actions.
Dee Schlotter, senior colour marketing manager for PPG, a leader in paint and colour, understands the path to determining each year's top trending colour. Schlotter and more than 20 PPG colour stylists from around the world meet annually at the company's Global colour Trends Workshop. "Our team of global colour experts assess societal and cultural influences to forecast what colours will be popular in home decor, consumer goods, automotive and even airplanes for the upcoming year," Schlotter says. "We also look at what's happening in society, and the state of people's emotions because of current events. All of this information helps us predict what colours will truly resonate with people in the coming year, especially when it comes to the paint in their homes." 2018 finds its colour of the year in a reflection of people's daily lives and their need to find an escape.

FLAM E
'BLACK' TO BASICS
PPG Paint Black Flame PPG1043-7
"The PPG Paints brand's 2018 Colour of the Year is BLACK FLAME (PPG1043-7). It offers the silencing impact of black with the possibility and hopefulness of indigo seen in the colour's undertone," says Schlotter.
Schlotter adds that black will be very popular in 2018 because it offers a break from an often chaotic and over-worked world. "With society facing overstimulation and a need to take refuge, the colour black offers a comforting retreat, and a chance to start new and get back to the basics," she says. "Black Flame represents that necessary void and the need for nothingness that helps us recharge, making it a timeless and classic colour in home decor." Olympic Paint Black Magic OL116
A PALETTE OF OPTIONS While going darker can seem intimidating at first, incorporating black into your existing decor is a lot easier than you think. Many people mistakenly believe that all blacks are the same. However, black, like any other colour, is available in a wide array of shades. For example, Glidden paint's 2018 colour of the Year, Deep Onyx (00NN 07/000), is a deep and rich black that encourages a less-is-more attitude when applying to home decor, while Black Magic (OL116), the 2018 colour of the Year for Olympic paints, is more glamorous and looks great as a statement colour for walls. And, if you're looking for some darker inspiration outdoors, Olympic stain's Maximum product in a Cinder semi-transparent stain colour (905) is a great complement to Black Magic when applied to exterior surfaces like doors, window trims and shutters. >>>

Any of these black hues can be a defining piece in your decor while providing you with the mental escape you need. Schlotter adds that capitalizing on this year's colour trend isn't solely about the colour itself, but what you pair it with. Consider some of her other tips and tricks, including: • Pairing the PPG Paints brand's Black Flame with Millennial orange-pinks, teals and warm gray or mocha browns for an enveloping, rich look and feel.
“The possibilities are truly endless when it comes to adding this misunderstood neutral in the home,” says SCHLOTTER. • Feeling a bit more daring? Make an impactful statement with black by applying it from floor to ceiling on an accent wall or in an entire room. Completing the look with lighter elements and furnishings will make the decor stand out, because the dark walls will highlight artwork and accessories while providing depth and character, creating a perfect space for respite and conversation. • To keep a space more fresh and modern, consider pairing a black hue with whites, matte finishes or light-grain wood finishes. "Outside of paint, reinvented versions of the classic black hue are showing up in key design elements - from faucets, to matte black appliances, to black veined granite countertops, black windows and marble floors," says Schlotter.
