What to Do With an Extra Day

February 29, 2012 By Alex Curtis, RD LDN

No, it is not March 1st, but February 29th! We get an extra day this year! What are you doing with your extra day?

How about…

Have a “Bake-a-thon”  and make some Carnival Cookies and Flourless Banana Bread.

Make your loved one a bouquet of flowers from recycled egg cartons.

Deck out your Band-Aids by gluing pretty fabric scraps on them. You will look stylish next time you have a boo boo!

Grab some oil pastels (or crayons) and a piece of paper and start sketching! Click here for some drawing ideas.

Bake a batch of Get Up and Go Muffins to give to your neighbors. Wrap them on a plate or in a bag and tie with a bow. Maybe even talk to your neighbors for a while to see how they’re doing.

Grab your camera and take a stroll through the woods/mountains/beach/neighborhood/nature reserve. Take pictures of whatever trips your trigger.

Start an inspiration journal to save your favorite quotes, pictures, recipes, drawings, and information. Use any notebook to begin, and decorate with magazine clippings, paint, and stickers.

“All our dreams can come true – if we have the courage to pursue them.” – Walt Disney

Thought-provoking, mind-prodding question of the day:

What would you do with an extra day?

The Art of Croissants

February 27, 2012 By Alex@Spoonful of Sugar Free

A couple weekends ago I made croissants.

Homemade Croissants.

Full of Butter and Refined Flour.

It took an entire day.

And I enjoyed every second of the rolling and kneading.

“It is not the destination, but the journey that makes it worth while.”

(But it was nice seeing everyone’s faces light up as they bit into my hard work)

Thought-provoking, mind-prodding question of the day:

In your opinion, what is the hardest thing to make culinary-wise?

P.S. I used Cook’s Illustrated’s croissant recipe.
