It's been a month since you've last heard from me, I know. And it's been a whirlwind month of starting a new, real job, of getting completely lost in a sea of integral calculus problems, and of trying to maintain some semblance of a social life. Oh and trying not to lose my mind through all of it. Whatever happen to the days when summer meant doing absolutely nothing? Sitting on the couch and having your only stressor be the fact that nothing good is on TV at 2 o' clock in the afternoon even though you have thousands of channels? Unfortunately I think I've seen the end of those days, but I am happy to report that I'm almost finished with my Calculus II class. I'll admit, I spent several days digging my own grave because I thought for awhile there that I was going to die. But somehow I managed to pull myself out of said hole and pick up both my spirits and my grade in the class! I'm just so determined to finish the class that I want to go simply to get it over with! I know my blogging really has taken a backseat to school and work and everything, so I've decided to leave you with a post that should hopefully last through at least next Tuesday aka MY LAST DAY OF SUMMER SCHOOL. I'M SO EXCITED I CAN HARDLY CONTAIN MYSELF!
It's another foodie post! Remember how I said I wasn't too good at baking? Well I've gotten loads better! I guess I've gotten good at following a recipe and not panicking when something doesn't go exactly right. About three weeks ago I made Strawberry Banana Greek Yogurt Bread because my family has been completely obsessed with greek yogurt lately (I mean really who hasn't gotten on trend with that these days?) and because I love banana bread so much. The strawberries just went in for fun! After I made it, I was very surprised with how moist it was--but I reasoned it was because of the Greek yogurt, of course. A couple days later, I was surprised at how moist it still was! I was very happy with how pleasantly my healthy dessert turned out! And with how well it kept!
I hope my sharing of this recipe will last you until I reach the end of my calculus class, because upon completion, I will finally be making a lasting return to the blog! But for now, I hope this lasts in your minds as long as my Greek yogurt bread did!
