Today was full of rain and thunderstorms, but luckily my friends Sarah and Christine were able to make it downtown to help with some Pinterest activities!
Being the proper hostess that I am, I greeted them with a drink, strawberry beer lemonade!!

This drink was amazing! I was neat to watch the strawberry juice come out once it was mixed with the sugar and lemon juice. For the beer I used a hefeweizen and yum! It was super tasty, refreshing and, well, it was basically a sangria for beer drinkers. I highly recommend it for an end of summer party! You can add more sugar/lemon to taste once you mix the ingredients.
Next up was lunch! We decided to make spinach artichoke pasta:

There is a lot of dairy in this dish, but spinach is healthy.... You can use reduced fat items (and we got stuck using vegan cream cheese... But it worked out well!)
Sarah did most of the cooking and it turned out really well (come over for leftovers!). It was quite tasty and I also recommend this dish (especially if you like spinach and artichoke dip!).
One more day of summer vacation left and 9 days left of daily Pinterest Projects!!
