A Day in the Kitchen

I usually have RVs and a study on Tuesday afternoons but my study canceled. I decided to take the afternoon off. I've been hitting the pavement hard lately and could use some down time. So after chilling out a bit I decided to do a bit of baking.

I started out making healthy cookies. I got the recipe from my sister. There is no sugar (sweetened with honey) and I used buckwheat flour. There's also oats, almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and cinnamon in them. They turned out pretty good. Then I decided to make some granola. It's really good too!

While the cookies were baking I was looking through a whole foods book I have. I was inspired to make peanut butter. I chopped up peanuts in a blender, then added sunflower oil and a little bit of honey. It's kinda like the peanut butter we used to bye from the amish store. It's pretty good.

Then for dinner I had veggies and some grouper. I used loads of garlic on everything. I also seasoned the grouper with seasonall and lime. It was yummy!

I had a really good time with all of it! I put on some music and kinda got lost in what I was doing. I get the same feeling when I paint. I blast the music and get lost in myself. It releases some creative juices and I end up feeling energized and revitalized. It was a great way to spend my free time today!

I should've taken photos...next time.

That's great. I think doing something creative is the best way to relax.
