B-A-N-A-N-A-S

Hello!!! How was everyone's weekend? So last week was complete hell for me with 2 exams in one day and I didn't think I was going to be able to survive... Obviously I did but I'm just so happy it's over!! So in exactly one week is Halloween!!!!!!! "The one day girls could dress up like complete sluts and no one can say anything about it"..... best line ever

So hopefully I'll be able to make a special Halloween treat next week and I'll post it online here for all of you to see! This weekend however, I was still on my health streak but I also wanted to satisfy that sweet-tooth.... so I decided to make a banana-walnut bread and it was sooooo good!!! You could eat it in the morning instead of toast with some peanut butter or jam on top or even some butter, depending on what you like!

The walnuts were the perfect kick to the sweetness of the banana! I like it as a late afternoon snack instead of in the morning since it's the perfect snack to have it I'm having a late dinner.

Since I'm still in midterms season I'm going to go back to studying and let you all enjoy this picture! I'll be back next week!! 

Bye!!

Mmmmm.... Hazelnuts

Heyy.... so I know I'm a couple of days late... but as I promised here is my second baking experiment. I decided to make a flour-less hazelnut cake that consists of only 4 ingredients........ yes ONLY four


It was the simplest and most delicious "non-guilt after feeling" cake I've ever made or tasted!! I suggest you all search this recipe because not only is it healthy... but it also satisfies those cravings for something sweet.

I baked this cake last night since I was having some friends over... and it was a complete success. Unfortunately I forgot to take a before picture but I got the after picture with a couple of pieces left (my bad) 
Well know that I've taken my break and posted this blog, I'm going to get back to studying for my accounting and info systems exam this friday.... yay can't wait .... not


Hope everyone's weekend was exciting!! 

Week 2 of no social life

Hello everyone, this is my second week of midterms and I am slowly slipping out of existence......I can't wait to get back to the normal life of relaxing and not stressing out over these exams!!! I've hardly had any time to properly take a break to bake something that I've decided to wait until Friday night to bake some celebratory desserts ..... so I'm stuck between baking another batch of cupcakes, this time chocolate with vanilla icing, or some traditional gooey brownies!!!


With Halloween around the corner, I've also decided to bake some cupcakes decorated with Halloween designs in a couple of weeks.... mmmmm can't wait for all that candy!!


Anyway, this was my little break from studying to fill you guys in on my baking and to remind you to check in on Friday or Saturday for my next baking adventure!!!!




Ciao!!!


p.s. Happy Hump Day :D

Surviving Midterms!

I've always liked to bake and cook, and so I decided to make a blog about it. I like to bake since it allows me to relax and concentrate on something other than work or school. For this blog, I decided to challenge myself and complete every recipe I found in a cupcake and desserts recipe book. 

With my Organizational Behavior midterm tomorrow, I needed to relax before I combust!! So the first cupcake I decided to make is a Red Velvet Cupcake since it's my all-time favorite!!! I thought it would be harder, but it was surprisingly easy. And the cream cheese icing on top was just the cherry on top!!! If you just want something sweet to fulfill your craving, I suggest you make yourself a batch! 

Since I know my parents nor my co-workers can eat 24 cupcakes right away, I decided to freeze half of the batch so I could always have something sweet in the freezer if I'm ever craving..... I think the freezer is THE BEST invention out there.... :P

Oh well.... time to get back to my studies.... this was a well deserved break! I believe that if we continue to pile on information without taking a pause, nothing will ever process.... we all need to take a breather and do something we love.... and then we could continue to face the task at hand.

Anyway, here is a picture of one of my cupcakes that I took some time to decorate since I also love doing that lol...... So now I'm going to go enjoy one and continue studying for Organizational Behavior.... next week I'm thinking White Chocolate with Raspberry??
