What I’ve been up to lately

Hi guys! I know it’s been a long while, but it took me some time to start feeling like myself again. The Covid-19 outbreak and social distancing period really had an impact on my mental health (but thank God for my physical health during this time!).

While things haven’t changed much for me in terms of work – working from home but (thankfully) still working full time – they changed a lot socially. I really felt the distancing part: I was very much missing my friends and family, missing my very long walks and my weekends exploring the city. I also miss wearing my “presentable human” clothes and looking like a woman, instead of a troll 90% of the time (my fiancé is a lucky man huh?! 😅).

Celebratory cream puffs

It’s been forever since my last post – but most importantly, it’s been a year since my first blog post. So, as a celebration, I’ve decided to share with you my favorite dessert and a recipe that’s dear to me, as it’s not one I found on the internet, but one given to me by my talented mother. So hang on to your hats, this one comes with exact quantities and instructions and everything!

French gratin potatoes my way

This is the story of how you can improvise with ingredients that you have on hand. It’s one of the simplest recipes ever and I think you can enjoy these potatoes on their own or as a side dish because they’re so delicious!

Okay, so because yesterday I cooked some main course dishes, today I decided that it was a good day to get back to baking, my first love. Considering my latest failures in the field, I decided I’ll try something simple. And I figured, what’s simpler than baking a brownie?
