Corantine cookies

Hey Lovelies!🤗

I don't know about you but like everyone and their sister I've been doing a little (ok, a lot) of baking while I've had all this extra time at home and it's been so good for me. 😍 Food is truly my love language.

And while I know I already have a couple of cookie recipes up on here, they were a little on the smaller side. Plus it's been a while since I created something from scratch.

Best 👏🏾 idea👏🏾 ever!👏🏾

What I created was this huge cookie that is a blend of chewy and crunchy. It's delicious warm or cold. And it can be switched up to fit whatever you'd like to go in it.😁 So far I've stuffed them with peanut butter and chocolate chips. Who knows what I'll go with next. I'll probably start putting mini versions of it on cakes/cupcakes soon bc it's that good!🤤

The great thing is, you can make a whole batch of cookie dough, put them in the freezer and bake them in bits as the craving hits you. 😉 

You know I have to share them with you.

I hope you love them as much as I do.

Please, send me pictures or tag @bakersheartzm on Instagram when you post your creations.

Bisous!

Taking stock: Corantine 2020

Hey lovelies!
Happy Easter 🤗

How crazy is it that the first quarter of 2020 is already done? 🤯 It was just last year that I was counting down to this year and now it's flying past. So while we all have time to read/write I thought I'd do a quick reflection of how I'm doing at the end of it and start this next one on the right foot.😅 Here we go:

Making: So much progress with my studying.
Come on productivity!🥳💃🏾

Cooking/Baking: Pancakes and dessert french toast bc dessert and breakfast foods are my absolute favourites! 😍🤤Did you get the chance to snag the recipe yet?

Drinking: Water, the answer is always going to be water. 😂

Craving: Outside 😭 and I know everyone knows what I mean when I say that.😅 I've been making a list of everywhere I want to go eat once they open outside again cause oomf shaded me about being indecisive.🤣

Meal prep er Fridays?

You know those things, the things that other people do and you think are a little weird until you try them and have your whole life changed? This is one of them. lol.

Ever since I've been on Pinterest meal prepping has been a thing. Like a serious thing. All the food bloggers rave about their overnight oats ( Running with Spoons has some in a smoothie version that I'm dying to try) and YouTube is jam packed with people doing their own versions of it depending on their diet and preference. Check out Domestic Geek to see what I'm on about.

So I've been exposed to it all for a while now, so why am I only talking about it now? Well, a couple of weeks ago in our group chat Mufwaya (Hey girl!) mentioned she was doing it and it automatically sparked my interest in it again. You know, cause I've been crazy busy and coming back from a looong day at school to start cooking from scratch everyday is not my favourite thing to do. That and when am I really going to get the time to cook a whole healthy meal in between coming back from class, going for a run and having to study in the night? 😕

How to study: Snack - Caramel Corn Edition

Happy FriYay!

So today's going to be a (semi) foodie post cause you know, there's always time to eat. 

Seriously.

Also I'm a firm believer in snacking to keep me awake during studying. Why? Cause your girl needs a supply of energy and no one falls asleep chewing. Lool. I usually have a bunch of snacks around for this purpose, either fruit, nuts, yogurt or some junk food and tons of water to keep me hydrated. That said, sometimes I actually need to take a break and make a quick snack to wake me up and reset my mind while trying to get some work done.

Last week while I was trying to get some work done for a Physiology end of block test I whipped up this batch of Caramel Corn. It's such a simple treat and it satisfied my candy craving. Although my "Foodies" group did remind me that it looked like a bowl of cavities and diabetes🙊. Meh, I don't do this often.😂 

Please note the lack of specific measurements, I just eyeballed it according to how hungry I was feeling and how much popcorn I made😅

How to: veggie roast

Happy Fri-Yay!

I'm home for the weekend, because I LOVE home (ask anyone) and because sometimes I just need a break off adulting uno? Can I get an amen?

So you guys know those people who like to eat fancy food but are too lazy busy to feed themselves? Well that's my whole life story! Loool. *hides face*
