Some days, the weight of everything feels too heavy to carry. Days when I donāt want to do anything at all⦠and others when I want to, but just canāt gather myself. And then there are days I choose to tryāto turn to something gentle, something groundingāand those become my best therapy.
For me, it is baking and music. In the middle of chaos, they become my quiet escape. Even if just for a while, the noise fades. My mind finds better places to wander, my hands stay busy, and my heart feels a little lighter. It keeps me from endlessly refreshing the news, from spiraling with every call from back home.
It is overwhelming, no doubt. Some days feel unbearably heavy, while others pass almost normallyālike nothing has changed. But everything has. We walk differently now. We look around more. We look up more. We notice.
And somewhere in all of this, I realize something importantāhaving a hobby, especially one you turn into something meaningful or even professional, can hold you together in ways you never expect.
This may be our new normal for now⦠but it wonāt last forever.
This too shall pass. š¤
Starting uni or cooking solo? Keep it simple. You donāt need a full kitchenājust smart essentials. And make sure your cookware is induction safe and gas safe so youāre covered anywhere.
Tip for young starters: Start cooking at home. Experiment. Get comfortable with your cookware before you step out into the real worldāand carry the same pieces with you. Confidence in the kitchen starts with familiarity.
Cookware Essentials:
1ļøā£ Fry Pan (10ā12 inch)
Your everyday hero. SautĆ© veggies, cook chicken, make pasta, eggs, omelettes, grilled sandwichesāprep meals for a few days in one go. This will be your most-used pan.
2ļøā£ Heavy Base Saucepan (1.8ā2L minimum)
Perfect for boiling pasta and eggs, reheating food, making rice, soups, and quick one-pot meals. A sturdy base = even cooking.
3ļøā£ Rice Cooker
A game changer if you eat rice regularly. Bonus? It doubles up to steam vegetablesāsuper handy and fuss-free.
4ļøā£ Prep Tools
One solid cutting board, 2 sharp knives, a peeler, and a strainer for pasta. Thatās all you need.
5ļøā£ Spatulas & Wooden Ladles
Use wooden spoons or heat-resistant spatulas. They protect your cookware from scratches and help it last longer.
6ļøā£ Glass & Food-Grade Storage Containers
A few good-quality glass or food-grade freezer safe containers are a must to store cooked food in the refrigerator. Perfect for meal prep, leftovers, and staying organised through the week.
⨠Donāt hoard. Limited space needs smart choices. Start with essentials, build as you grow, and cook with confidence.
Uni life = tight budgets, busy schedules & āwhat do I even cook today?ā moments š„²
If youāre a university student (or just tired of figuring out everyday meals), Iāve got you covered!
Over the next few weeks, Iāll be sharing:
āļø Simple menu planning
āļø Smart grocery lists
āļø Budget-friendly pantry essentials
āļø Easy, realistic meals
No stress. No fancy ingredients. Just practical food ideas that actually work.
Follow along ā letās make everyday cooking easier ā¤ļø
Woke up ready to crush a workout.
Set up my mat. Put on the playlist. Felt unstoppable.
Phoebe: Perfect time for chaos š
My yoga mat quickly turned into her personal cuddle lounge. Every plank = paws. Every stretch = kisses. Workout? Cancelled by Labrador management.
Instead, I ended up giving her cuddles AND her favorite spa treatment ā a little sponge bath with wet wipes (which she absolutely adores). Tell me why she looks at me like I just booked her a 5-star retreat? š¶āØ
Didnāt win the workoutā¦
But I did win at breakfast: homemade granola, Greek yogurt, fresh berries, and a drizzle of organic honey šÆ
Strong core pending. Spoiled Labrador thriving!

Fresh out of the oven ā beautifully charred, rustic, and unapologetically bare.
Dress it up with fresh berries and it turns irresistibleā¦
but dressed or not, this Basque burnt cheesecake is just as divine.
Creamy at the core, bold outside, and every bite speaks a thousand dreamsā¦ā¦.

Soft, golden blueberry muffins crowned with a warm crumble of walnuts and cinnamon ā just sweet enough, just indulgent enough!
Theyāre not the breakfast we should have every day, but maybe the one we need once in a while.
No preservatives. Just the freshest ingredients, a little love, and the comfort of something homemade.
Perfect with tea, tucked into a lunchbox, or enjoyed quietly in the morning light.

Another milestone, another cakeāmy boy turns 15 today! I honestly canāt remember a time when Iāve ever bought a birthday cake from a bakery for either of my sons. From the very beginning, itās always been a labor of love from my own kitchen.
In the early years, I had the freedom to experimentācars, superheroes, Lego ā but not anymore š. Now, I bake for a young man who knows exactly what he wants. The son of a pastry chef, and yet all he asks for is the simplest, richest chocolate fudge cake. No frills, no fancies ājust pure, classic chocolate. And honestly? I couldnāt agree more. The simplest of cakes are often the best. They let the love and flavor shine through.
Happy 15th, my boy! You may have outgrown themed cakes, but never the joy they bring. ā¤ļø
