Baking for a Healthier Me

Me + Baking = Healthy

This is the equation of my life these days. I have started in reviving my passion for baking which was buried deep within me simply because I don't have an tools. I had the chance to bake way back high school days (oh, please stop asking what year that was). I enjoyed it or better to say I super- duper enjoyed those days. It was really nice to work in the kitchen. I never had a sweet tooth but I always loved making pastries and the likes. It was Christmas 2009, when my brothers surprised me with an oven. Much to my delight, that very same Christmas, I made my very first Chicken Galantina. Mothers Day of last year, Hubby gave me a hand held mixer. That was the time that I started to hunt for baking recipes here and there.

Just recently, I have been really burnt out with all the works at home and at the office. I decided I would like to take a leave out of the usual routines of my life. I took out the mixer, bought some good (read: pricey) ingredients and started to make the recipes I have been keeping for months now to come to life. Voila, results are good (at least for someone who had not been baking for years now). I am thankful because it does not only give me an outlet for destressing but three months after it is not giving me extra income. So , I guess the equation could still change in the future. i have to finish this post and head right to the kitchen, I have to finish the cinnamon rolls that is starting to smell from my oven.

Oh , I almost forgot, my Dad also gave me a bigger mixer as a present for my last birthday. And if you are wondering about those cinnamon rolls at my oven, I will post images of them later.
