It’s kinda funny that I have realize that I am not too crazy about cooking. Now there are dishes that I am famous for and/or I enjoy making. But overall, I am not too crazy about cooking.
I had an AHA moment about this a few weeks ago. Majority of the time that you are in the kitchen cooking it is a necessity. To provide nourishment for yourself or your family. Someone is hungry or it is that time of the day that it is time to eat.
Let me give you a backstory to how I came to this AHA moment. A month or so ago Bethanie had called me to ask for my Banana Bread Recipe. I started telling her that my recipe is kinda famous, it is the recipe I used to “win over” her dad. I remember always making banana bread while I was in the Army and giving it to the single solider.
As I finished that story I realized that I had not made banana bread in a while. So I decided to make some. Got the ingredients and I set out to make some.
As I made the banana bread something came over me. I WAS REALLY LOVING DOING THIS!!! I was in my element. I felt like I was where I belongs. It took me to my happy place.
I think I had avoided baking for so long because I thought I did not enjoy it anymore. But because you do baking and cooking in the kitchen I had warded it off. But baking and cooking are 2 different things for me.
Cooking is to fill my belly
Baking is to fill my soul
I realize that I need to do more self-care. i had agreed with my Swan that I would do more things for myself. I now know there are 2 things that I trully get lost in. They are my happy place. Cooking and photography.
Life is kinda crazy right now since I am still in a transition spot in my life. But once I get settled I plan to go to my happy place at least once a week.
To GOD Be The Glory. Take Care. Much Love
