I needed an escape from today's news, so I decided to spend some time in my happy place tonight ... the kitchen ... baking. I made banana pecan muffins.
I was originally going to make banana bread, but then I got the bright idea to make muffins instead. I'm glad that I made that pivot. They're delicious.
Now I've got something for breakfast for the rest of the week. π

Earlier this afternoon, I found a way to distract my asshole brain (and make my anxiety disappear) for a little while. I made a batch of dark chocolate brownies with a surprise inside. I baked the brownies in a muffin tin (for portion control) and nestled an Andes chocolate mint into each one. π₯°
Over the years, I have discovered that my "happy place" is in the kitchen ... baking specifically but also prepping & cooking meals. It's a good distraction for my brain. π
I tried a new recipe this afternoon ... pumpkin bread (w/ walnuts). It turned out perfect. And it smells so good. π₯° I think that the next time I make this recipe, I'm going to mix in some craisins. Pumpkin & cranberry is a good combo, right? π€
