juice and crafts

So I feel like it is summer vacation all over again because I just finished my summer class and now I have nothing to do but hang out with friends and work.. work a lot, but I still have a lot of free time. Some how I managed to get sick this summer though. Not sure how that happened Im guessing all the late nighters studying and stressing out. So.. I made some carrot, apple, kale juice. As you can see I bought a 2 lb bag of kale :)



No worries this bag is great for juicing but I have another great recipe with kale that I will be posting shortly. hopefully this will cure me cause i am sick of being sick!

Also since I have all this free time I decided to do some arts and crafts. On this girl's blog (she is a friend of a friend out in cali) http://samanthamerica-create.blogspot.com/ there was the cutest picture of a sign and I went out and got some popsicle sticks and went at it.

snack time



Today I was craving a snack before I headed off to class. Since I had a fresh home grown cucumber from my parents garden, I decided to slice it up and use it like a cracker. The question was what to dip it in? Every time I go to the grocery store I keep seeing hybrid foods like guacaummus and I decided to give it a try. I already had some hummus I had made the other day and I just added one avocado and some dried oregano for flavor. Mash it all up and scoop it out with the cucumbers.
