thirty days

have been back in my baking and cooking mood in the past week. found a great banana peanut butter choc chip muffin recipe that works great as a quick breakfast. we finished the batch within a week, just bringing them to office every morning. and the upside is that it's a healthy muffin made out of bananas, wholewheat flour, greek yogurt, honey, fresh milk and a lil bit of brown sugar. ok, i know i sound like a fod geek but i don't care. i could spend forever looking up and trying out new recipes.

made dark chocolate brownies again last night. even stayed up to make choc chip cookie batter that i threw into the fridge to rest for a night or two, before i get to baking them soon.

also sneaked in a little late night treat. had made some apple crumbles and put them in individual jars for easy serving and had them with two scoops of choc chip ice cream. really don't know why i pay so much for average desserts when eating out when i can have my own, slightly healthier versions of them.

don't worry, i don't just pig out on desserts all day long. most of the time, we just keep a bit and give away the rest to friends. trying to keep a conscious tab on what we eat these days and also its costs. budgeting will soon enough be my best friend.

took a sick day last week. it's just so crazy, at my last job, i went a year without taking a single sick leave. but i've been so overwhelmed and so lethargic this year. maybe i'm just trying to do too much at once. maybe, maybe not.

i thought i did okay earlier today. of course i was nervous. i'm nervous before i do anything. plus, it's been awhile since i actually answered those kind of questions. i guess my skills are kind of rustic but hey, practice makes perfect.
