What I did on my day off
So I took off work yesterday. Most people take off work to go to the beach, maybe a nice hike in the woods, get some errands done, sure I love those things (except the errands part) but why did I take off yesterday you may ask. Because I have a problem... a baking problem... I wanted to bake... and sew a few things. So I took the day off to do so... yes I'm a 1950's housewife stuck in a 20-somethings body. wicked fun if you ask me :)
So here's what I made yesterday:
Batch of poose cookies for John

Batch of oatmeal raisin cookies for a friend who dislocated her knee. Come on cookies totally help heal knees!
Bonana bread... I had WAY too many bananas in the freezer... something had to be done about it.

Granola. Love this stuff over greek yogurt with some honey blueberries and strawberries. YUM!

Strawberry Ruhbarb Pie- I made this with my roommate (Steph) for her boyfriend (John) yes I know I know, and no it wasn't on purpose and no it's not confusing when someone calls because we've never had a land line, only cell phones :)
You see Steph's John has been wanting pie for awhile... and Steph has been a bit busy, so he started bugging me about when I was going to make him pie LOL. In the end Steph and I made it together and her John better be happy :D I'll have the recipe and more process/ up close pictures next week.
Finally I made some cool cucumber salad. It's a recipe my Nana, and my mom always made when I was growning up. Mom made mention of it the other day and I couldn't help myself but run right out and make some. It's SO GOOD, and so simple. Recipe for that to come next week too :)

If you had a free day off what would you do??
OH and I can't forget, I went to Ultimate Frisbee league at night! I scored 2 points! AND assisted on a third point woo woo! Then I came home to an amazingly grilled meal made by Steph and John and we had the pie for dessert YUM!
