🍰There’s something powerful about baking!🍰
I usually prefer the creativity of cooking, but when I do bake, I find it comforting and relaxing. Working with the ingredients gives me control, which I might not have had that day, and when the scent of my creation fills the entire house, it makes me feel like a good wife and mother.
I know, it isn’t reasonable and it doens’t make sense, but it truly does make me feel that way.
You start with simple ingredients — butter, sugar, 🍌bananas🍌 — and end with something warm, golden, and made by your own hands.
It’s comfort. It’s creativity. It’s a small, sweet achievement in the middle of a busy day.
