Find your summer hobby

Do something for you. Something that makes you happy.

Finding a balance in our lives can be rather difficult at times. We all get caught up in stress, our future, work and anything else that can drain the life from our lives. Finding hobbies that provide an outlet and bring relaxation into your life is essential to being happy and staying sane.


So that's just what I'm doing.

June is almost over and I've realized that I've mainly been working, applying to grad schools and studying for the GRE's. And well, it's time to find a hobby!

This past year, I've really gotten into cooking. Especially during the summer because food is so fresh and my mom's garden is abundantly overflowing with delicious vegetables. 



Squash, cucumbers, zucchini and tomatoes from my mom's garden.

So far this summer I've made spinach and ricotta manicotti, various types of risotto (Italian rice), baked goods and yesterday, with the help of my 9 yr. old sister, Hannah, I made fresh zucchini bread.

My family is really big into weight watchers recipes so I looked up some online and found a perfect one!  And here's how our zucchini bread turned out!

There's not much to it. It's delicious, healthy and easy.

Even a nine year old can make it :)

So I've found hobby number 1: Cooking. 


What's your hobby?!
