These cookies were a recipe fail. They were dry and dense. At least they look pretty. Speaking of looks here is me mesmerized by either a) the fire on the candles or b) the chocolate cake — probably both. At 19-years-old, I still look at chocolate the same way. Some things never change, I guess. 🙈🍫
c o o k i e • Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day! Today, we are thanking the simple, yet undeniably decadent chocolate chip cookie. We are thanking the chocolate chip cookie for its chewy, soft texture. Its perfectly balanced chocolate flavor. Its presence during our darkest and happiest moments. I’m dramatic. I know. I just love a good chocolate chip cookie. Nothing is better. Nothing.
s e l f - c o m p a s s i o n • The biggest thing I have gained from my second year of college is self-compassion. I have realized that I deserve to treat myself with love and respect. In the past, I faced a cycle of constant cold, critical judgment from none other than myself, often disparaging my dreams and worth. Through this year of intellectual enrichment and personal growth, however, I have realized that I can’t expect to be happy if I don’t even like myself. I have gained love for who I am at my worst and at my best. I have unconditional support for my desires and goals. Lastly, I have learned that when all else fails eating cheesecake can be the best course of action. ❤️
c h i l d h o o d • “As a little girl, my fondest memories have come from the kitchen: my mom and I baking brownies; me licking the gooey batter off the spoon; the smell of warm brownies cooling on the counter. I have learned through the years that I am the happiest version of myself when I am wearing an apron and covered in layers of flour.” This is an excerpt from one of my college application essays. I had to write about one of my interests and all I could think about was cake. Literally. I wrote an admission essay about how baking has allowed me to understand myself—and the world. Patience, persistence, and adventure. All of these principles are embedded into the art of baking and transcend into my daily life as well. I think I'm an old lady trapped in a 19-year-old's body. Help! 👵🏽❤️
