Baking Brain Break

After being out of the office for 3 days, I had lots to do at NuVal today! I felt like a crazed woman trying to get everything done, so when I got home, I did some baking to help relax myself. There’s just something about baking that seems to ease my mind. It’s like a mental escape for me.

There’s hardly any food in my kitchen, but there was a single sweet potato! So, I whipped up a batch of Sweet Potato Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.

I enjoyed my cookies with a mug of Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Tea. It was the perfect snack for a stressful day!

I ate lunch at my desk this afternoon. I had the other half of my veggie burrito from Salsa’s. I didn’t even bother to heat it up; I just ate it cold.

I also snacked on a couple of peanut putter-filled pretzels from Trade Joe’s. Basically, once you start with these babies, you can’t stop. If you’ve tried them, you know what I am talking about!
