Good morning all!

TGIF and TGIHTDO (thank goodness I have the day off!)

It’s true – Ben is heading to Nebraska this afternoon to go to the Nebraska vs Oklahoma football game tomorrow, so I took the day off to keep him company before he goes! I know…the sacrifices I make…

I sliced up a BIG Honeycrisp Apple sprinkled with Cinnamon to eat while watching the Today Show this morning.

One of my favorite things to do when I have the day off is sleep in a little and then watch the Today Show. It just says “day off” to me!

I am actually stuffed right now…this Honeycrisp was seriously half the size of my head!!

Oh, a couple of people have asked how big the baking dishes are that I make my baked oatmeal in. Here they are compared to a can of beans.

I believe the dish on the right was part of a Corningware set we got for our wedding, and the dish on the right was part of a Rachel Ray “cooking for 2″ set. This set would be similar.

Since it’s just Ben and I in the house, it’s nice to have these smaller dishes to make personal sized casseroles and such. Cute!

They also work perfectly for:

• Bacon Mac & Cheese
• Lemon Tuna Noodle Casserole
• Baked Apple Pie Oatmeal
• Baked Banana Bread Oatmeal
• Baked Chocolate Almond Butter Oatmeal
• Baked Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal
• Baked Raspberry Cheesecake Oatmeal
• Apple Crisp

Agenda for day off:

• Gym sesh with Ben
• Help fertilize lawn for the winter (well, mostly just watch)
• Maaaaaaaybe bake?!
• Get outside – it’s supposed to be 70 degrees today, wheee!

Have a great morning everyone!

When’s the last time you had a day off? Do you use them to get stuff done, or relax?

I always have the best intentions of relaxing…but then you start noticing all the stuff that needs to get done and it’s hard not to get up and do it!
