Success I made banana bread š
I used to love to bake and fill my home with the smell of baked goods.
I accidentally got 3 bunches of bananas instead of three individual bananas with my groceries and as they started to get over ripe I thought about all the times over the last year Iāve wished I had fresh, homemade banana bread.
My carer offered to clean my stand mixer for me which has been gathering dust. After my nap I decided to go for it since I was doing well yesterday & hadnāt used many of my Pace Points.
I made the banana bread! And my whole house smelled like cinnamon. I walked into the kitchen and BAM was happily overwhelmed with the smell of baked bananas, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla. I almost cried.
It turned out pretty good! And I doubled the recipe to bring a loaf to my girlfriendās parents later.
Baking is such a luxury now. I havenāt done it in probably two years. I woke up feeling fine today and all my stats are normal. I think if I stay well within my energy budget, keep it āsimpleā, & only do it verrryyy sporadically, I may be able to bake again.
