This is so valid!! Watching the way you eat from a young age, while a good thing that you're learning to monitor your intake, a lot of us aren't taught how to do it correctly so we end up stressing over it and that takes the fun out of both cooking and eating in general! I really love your videos and voice, and they inspire me to learn how to bake from scratch :))❤️
@@dameslayer 🧍babe. touch grass. No one said anything about the lgbt community, things can be valid aside from that you know? If you'd touch a dictionary, I'm sure you'd know.
@@stardust.7507 I read dictionary’s for a living. My favorite book is CRC handbook of chemistry and physics 92nd edition from 2011-2012. Why would you use such weird language like ‘this is so valid!!’ Valid means acceptable according to some dictionaries I own.
I’m so glad I grew up with my mum’s philosophy on food: Nothing is good for you if it’s the only thing you eat, but nothing is bad for you as long as you eat lots of different types of food. Don’t eat until you’re over-full, but don’t stop eating until you’re full. It was just a really balanced view free from body shaming, and it’s been the foundation of my relationship with food in adulthood. It serves as a reminder to maybe mix it up after eating ramen three days in a row, but it doesn’t make me feel guilty about the act of eating.
@@Pimpjit85So true! The best thing I did for my health is to eat whole, unprocessed or minimally processed foods. Diary of a CEO did a great interview with Chris van Tulleken a few weeks ago that really explained why this is so important. I’ve known for quite some time that it’s best to avoid processed foods, but this interview took it to a new level of understanding.
looking at foods like a maths equation-honestly i relate to that so much! through cooking and learning new recipes i’ve learned to appreciate and fill my body with what it deserves 💕
It makes me so sad that food, something we need to survive and can bring us so much comfort and joy, becomes this scary, complicated thing for so many of us.
I was pretty good at drawing. Sadly I stopped when I was 15 due to depression. Now I'm 20, I regret about it everyday. Have not yet found new hobby but life keeps moving on. Wish me luck🌟🌻
I was in the exact same boat and I’m 20 as well and am just now trying to get back at it. You haven’t lost it forever, artistic abilities lie dormant within everyone. You just have to find a way to incorporate it into your time every other day and find your style again. I’m still searching for my style but my art has transformed from on paper to tattooing because I found a medium I love now as an adult. Find something beautiful that ignites your passion again or go back to what used to. We are still so young and we have until we die to make as many pieces as we can. Express yourself, you have your entire life to do so.
Don't worry. You stopped because your mind has lost interest in that very thing you enjoy. That's the reality of depression that some who've never experienced it Don't get. It's like dying slowly and painfully and watching life pass you by without caring much of it. But once you come off of it, you realize how much you miss doing those things you've forgotten. And it can apply to everything else. Glad to know you're back on track. Art is my favorite thing as well.
one of the reasons i stopped home baking is because i was afraid i was gaining weight. i baked because i loved creating, making something out of nothing, i loved the end result, i love how it consumed my mind from many unwanted things. but i lost it all just because i started getting scared of what i was creating. i know it doesn’t sound bad but to me it took the joy out of many mundane little things.
What a coincidence to see a open INFP after watching MBTI videos 👀. -INTJ I kind of stopped baking too but I love the art behind it. It brings up a lot of nostalgia but the time and tedious resources for so many of the desserts I love is so time consuming. I was scared of gaining weight as well despite having a major sweet tooth. I've been cooking more than baking because I love the experimentation instead of the tedious measurements to get the right results
@@Star_Scoot regard to being an open infp, being anonymous helps i guess😅 also baking use to bring so much joy. i loved feeding my younger cousins, relatives etc. But Cooking has taken that space now for me. specially finding tasty and healthy recipes and i love experimenting with them. haven’t baked in years but i love watching baking videos it’s so calming to me.
I can 100% relate! I stopped for the same reason. Weight gain used to be considered the highest standard because it meant you had food to eat. Now there is so much abundance & waste & a very toxic culture defining what beauty is & how it is what defines your self worth that we starve ourselves & are afraid to eat because of the size of our clothing or the number on the scale instead of allowing our bodies to be where they want to be when we eat healthy (I mean portion sizes too, not just the types of foods we are putting into our bodies) even if it means being curvyer. We need to focus on giving our bodies what it needs instead of trying to fit into a mold most bodies were never made to fit in. I'm so tired of being afraid to eat & feeling judged by my food too, not just the people around me. I just want to enjoy creating delicious food again & actually enjoy eating.
@@sarahbasto6520 I am a foreign speaker and I understand the Australian accent. Actually, this is my favourite English accent because people tend to have a very good and clear diction.
I absolutely loved this video! This was EXACTLY me with baking. Not anymore. I’ve continued to bake and eat my baked goods in moderation and have never been happier 😊
Baking for my partner is what helped me get back into baking. I used to get shamed for what I baked and ate so I stopped trying (and eating properly). My girlfriend loves eating what I make so it encouraged me to do it more and now I’m going to college to learn it professionally. Don’t give up because of something in your mind telling you you can’t, the mind has a way of breaking you down until you have nothing. Do what makes you happy and find a way around your fear. If you can’t eat it find someone who’s love to and trust me it’ll help.
I love baking so much, but I'm sad I never get to eat any of it in fear of gaining weight and not being good enough for that reason, i really hope that one day I'll get to eat something i bake and not feel so so guilty when I do:D
Eating food that brings you joy will help you live longer than restricting and thinking about food all the time will. Your body wants the process of baking, and that means it wants to both eat AND share. Please eat what you bake, you will bake better things and enjoy yourself more :)
This is interesting, when you brought up how it helped you get over “fear” and looking at food as a math equation got me thinking of my own similar experiences. Reigniting my interest in cooking for other people helped me in recovery. As a person who lives far away from proper treatment, I had to do it almost by myself, cooking helped me so much. I actually have no clue if this exists but cooking classes should really be apart of Ed recovery programs everywhere.
As someone who's recovering from anorexia Nervosa, I've learned that you'll die sooner from starvation than from "overconsumption". Life is too short to be counting grams of carbs. It's okay to eat food, any kind of food, as long as it nourishes the body and soul. It's taken me a few years, but I am finally learning how to appreciate food without feeling guilty. I really like these videos because I can live my bread baking fantasies vicariously through you! (I am too impatient to bake bread, I can barely cook to feed myself lol)
Happy to hear about your recovery! Baking bread has been helpful in my journey to recovery, just because the love I put in it means it doesn't feel as bad when I'm eating it. (ED NOS)
Just popping in here to add that while it is true that starvation leads to death faster than "overconsumption", rates of complications and death from other eating disorders (such as BED or OSFED for example) are just as high as from AN. To be clear, your experience is 100% valid; my intent in writing this comment is just to inform anyone else reading here of the facts in an effort to minimize stigmas and competitiveness surrounding EDs (as I'm sure you already know these ED statistics). Best wishes to you. Hopefully I can recover someday myself. But I doubt it, because I have no access to competent treatment.
it's not quite that simple. carbs aren't always about losing or gaining weight, because i've had some crazy hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia episodes because of too many simple carbs. i've been eat more complex carbs through semolina pasta, potatoes, whole wheat breads, and cereals and i never had blood glucose events when eating those, but literally today i had a thing of rice, apparently too high on the glycemic index, had a hypoglycemia episode :/ sometimes the issue you may be thinking about may not even be the actual issue.
This video really stuck with me. I stopped eating bread because I thought it was making me fat. I also use to bake a lot for my family and was good at it. I try to not even eat sugar now. This video over the past week has made me look at all the foods I use to enjoy making in a different way. Maybe I will start baking again.
I came across your channel today and I had to subscribe.. I work for a bread company called BreadBlock in Los Angeles California.. I work as a packer there.. packing all the fresh breads for the stores and farmers markets.. I like watching our bakers prepare the bread and like watching the pastry chefs.. seeing your videos are so cool to me.. you have talent
I don't know if I've seen any of your other videos before this one but I absolutely love how much love you put into tucking in the bread. And then those bowls like cribs..so much love💘
Baking is such a great bonding experience with kids. My grandma used to get us to help make dough and then she'd cut off pieces and take out small tins so we could make our own mini pies and learn how to do it. I loved that. I make cakes more often than pies as an adult but I've gotten kids as young as 3 to bake cakes with me, they pour ingredients into the bowl and they get to decorate it. Sometimes I'll put parameters, like I need space to put "Happy Birthday" in frosting, but generally everyone who's eating the cake is proud of the kid and no one minds the crazy mess they make lol. I'll usually just pull out a bunch of sprinkles and sugar crystals and let them do what they want, if they're old enough I let them pipe flowers or whatever they want. It really makes a difference for kids. Like my cousin's 4 yr old daughter one summer was obsessed with it being her birthday, but other birthdays came before hers, so the first birthday she went around claiming it was her birthday and demanding things, and all the adults shushed her. I asked her if she'd help make the cake. We made it and as it was cooling, I told her she was in charge of decorating the cake, so she had to come back to help me. She did. And then she spent the rest of the day going around telling everyone she helped make the birthday cake and she was decorating it. Everyone responded positively to her, lots of congratulations, you're such a big kid, that kind of stuff. She was just beaming with pride. I asked if she noticed that everyone wanted to listen to her talk about the work she did now and if it made her feel happy. She said yes. I told her, people will always want to hear about your hard work, and the people who love you will be proud of you. And, even if you don't get to tell anyone, it still makes you feel proud of yourself. Right? Kids need that validation and offering them a healthy and positive way to get the attention they crave from adults offers them a path towards success later in life. Teaching kids that hard work is something to be proud of and praising them for it sets up pathways in the brain where they're predisposed to that kind of thinking. I genuinely think if I'd had parents who taught me hard work pays off and how to be a person in the world would've helped me. My parents had zero time for us and didn't teach us anything. Our grandma did but she wasn't our primary caregiver, we had minders and nannies, people who kept us in line and alive. I didn't get lessons like this. Do kids a favour and take the time to teach it to them.
Anything creative is so good for us. If only my energy level would allow me to be creative daily! But happy you rediscovered the joy of cooking! Thank you for sharing.
This happened to me. At around 14 I started baking and loved it so much that I thought about being a baker. Then I started to gain weight which I linked to me Baking and eating more carbs. I stopped baking completely and became obsessed with calorie counting to the point where I wouldn't eat a banana due to it being 102 kcal. Have recently started baking again and have found how therapeutic it actually is for me.
As a starved, malnourished kid back then, I'm glad you didn't have the same experience as I had. 😕 *Now I can say that I do take better care of myself than my folks did. I am now chubby cause I swore back then that when I grow up, I'll feed myself everything that my parents didn't feed me with.
This is so well said and I’m so glad you’re repairing your relationship with food! My story is very similar in that I stopped baking because 👹cArBs👹 I’m finally getting back into it and I didn’t realise how much I missed it. Lots of love to you and I’m looking forward to seeing what you bake next. The sourdough looks gorgeous 🤤
Awesome. I never baked anything in my whole life (first 52 years) yet where I live now everyone thinks I’m a lifetime sourdough whisperer. I feel super blessed to provide such wonderful loaves to so many people in my new little community in the middle of nowhere SW NM. I also do all of my sourdough baking (I keep two kinds of sourdough starters) and pizza making outdoors. We’re completely off grid here. All solar and gas. Beautiful loaves. Nothing like a good wake and bake.
Your voice is wonderful so is your 🥪 do a wonder job I no your cakes were so beautiful you keep baking and expand your baking never stop spread your baking Luke I do my garden give it away to homeless shelters and your friends. Sharing is caring
I love your mini bread oven, please can you give information on brand etc and where to purchase please? I've been baking for a while BUT I've never made my own starter due to my unsociable hours 🙃 been thinking about it for so long. I'm totally inspired but your videos so, I'm going to make my first starter this wknd ✨️
I stopped playing video games from 13-20. Found them again and they’re my life. I’ve made such great friends and genuinely enjoy my time playing. Im so glad you found your passion again!
This is literally my situation right now, I'm 14 and I love cooking and baking, I made a bunch of different things,me and my sister also had fun making those little pastries but lately I stopped and I became kind of a person who cares too much about what I eat so I always think that it'll be too unhealthy or too much carbohydrates so I don't bake much. I just made a bread today, It's still rising
I wanna get good at baking bread, because that way I can control what ingredients actually go into it. I.e. it's not loaded with 3 different types of sugar, as is common here in America. But I'm not exactly patient enough to wait the multiple hours it takes for bread dough to rise, nor am I patient enough to wait for it to cool completely before cutting it. Maybe someday I'll make good bread...
Amazing! I am mathematician and I love cooking and baking. These are share same essence of feeling. I enjoy cooking as much as I enjoy solving a math problem.
All those foldings makes the dough to inflate against to. The more of them better results. Through the cutting hot gasses are expelled and the whole piece expands freely. I just wonder what hidration is she using.
That’s exactly how I felt. From I was around 5-13 years old, I would bake all the time and every time I had a friend over we would bake. My mom let me bake as much as I wanted and I loved it. I even said that I wanted to be a baker for years. In school when we had to do a presentation about our idol, I even chose a famous baker to talk about 😂 Everyone just knew that I wanted to work as a baker when I grew up. Then when I was 13-19 I struggled with food a lot and cut out lots of food groups and stopped eating unhealthy things most of the time. Even a bit now that I’m 23 years old, it’s still hard for me whenever I’ve eaten something unhealthy. I’ve barely baked anything since I was 13 years old, unless it was for someone else, which I feel is very sad, since it used to be my favorite thing to do. This year I want to get back into it again. I baked a loaf of bread a few days ago, and it felt so nice to make something homemade again, so I can’t wait to do it again soon ☺️
I never really baked either until home ec class we made a casserole with ground beef, rice, tomato sauce, peppers, and onions, which was a really good simple meal
I just realized you have an Aussie accent. I subscribed a few days ago, and I've been watching a lot of your shorts. I didn't notice until now that you have an accent. I think I'm getting too used to Australian accents to where I don't even hear them anymore(My boyfriend and his family are from Tassie). I assumed you were American 💀. Anyway, I look forward to more videos xD
Same, I eat mainly carbs, and while I do have some chub but its barely noticeable and, considering I barely exercise, if I did exercise I'd probably be much thinner. (I don't feel like it though, my ribs is quite big and even with the chub I have you can still see it through my skin, if I get any thinner I'd look like a skeleton lol)
@@NassiLove yeah I've never really do exercise regularly and never really get fat. Rice everyday, sometimes 3 times a day but usually 2 times a day. My mom used to never really consider bread as proper meal, she consider it as snack so we will eat rice again even shortly after ate a sandwich. But don't get me wrong, excercise is good for ur health physically and mentally not just for body shape.
@@husnaaisyah2485 Yeah, Im just not very motivated, though I do dance often so I guess that might've helped, I eat rice 3 meals a day all the time too unless my mom is too lazy to make food so she buys some, even then there's carbs in it, other times she makes us noodles. Love carbs theyre great
I just started baking again, and forgot how much i enjoyed it. I think before it was just because I was much younger, and felt like I was forced to bake as a child. But I’m thoroughly enjoying it now, and forgot how much I missed it. Plus, I just found it more exciting to bake something else besides cakes… lol. To reach there own, but found cakes to still be that thing I don’t like making.😅
I agree with everything everyone is saying but, THAT BREAD IS PERFECT. I’m new to this channel and you seem like such an amazing person! New subscriber!❤❤❤
I can only relate to this because I used to draw as a kid and I drew freely without worrying about the results or worrying about public perception, I had so many creative ideas and so many details and time went into my drawings because I had fun. Now I don't have that anymore and I need to find out how to get it back :(
Bread is my favorite food and the way I overcame that fear of eating too much empty carbs was to make my bread very rich, with a lot of seeds and extras :)
This is so valid!! Watching the way you eat from a young age, while a good thing that you're learning to monitor your intake, a lot of us aren't taught how to do it correctly so we end up stressing over it and that takes the fun out of both cooking and eating in general!

And, even if you don't get to tell anyone, it still makes you feel proud of yourself. Right?
Kids need that validation and offering them a healthy and positive way to get the attention they crave from adults offers them a path towards success later in life. Teaching kids that hard work is something to be proud of and praising them for it sets up pathways in the brain where they're predisposed to that kind of thinking.
I genuinely think if I'd had parents who taught me hard work pays off and how to be a person in the world would've helped me. My parents had zero time for us and didn't teach us anything. Our grandma did but she wasn't our primary caregiver, we had minders and nannies, people who kept us in line and alive. I didn't get lessons like this. Do kids a favour and take the time to teach it to them.
Love your hand movement, so relaxing 😌
Anything creative is so good for us. If only my energy level would allow me to be creative daily! But happy you rediscovered the joy of cooking! Thank you for sharing.
I love community cookbooks! The church I went to as a kid put one out, and my mom still has it. Tons of jello salad recipes, and casseroles 😍
This happened to me. At around 14 I started baking and loved it so much that I thought about being a baker. Then I started to gain weight which I linked to me Baking and eating more carbs. I stopped baking completely and became obsessed with calorie counting to the point where I wouldn't eat a banana due to it being 102 kcal.
Have recently started baking again and have found how therapeutic it actually is for me.
As a starved, malnourished kid back then, I'm glad you didn't have the same experience as I had. 😕
*Now I can say that I do take better care of myself than my folks did. I am now chubby cause I swore back then that when I grow up, I'll feed myself everything that my parents didn't feed me with.
This is so well said and I’m so glad you’re repairing your relationship with food! My story is very similar in that I stopped baking because 👹cArBs👹
I’m finally getting back into it and I didn’t realise how much I missed it. Lots of love to you and I’m looking forward to seeing what you bake next. The sourdough looks gorgeous 🤤
Beautiful looking loaves
Awesome. I never baked anything in my whole life (first 52 years) yet where I live now everyone thinks I’m a lifetime sourdough whisperer. I feel super blessed to provide such wonderful loaves to so many people in my new little community in the middle of nowhere SW NM.
I also do all of my sourdough baking (I keep two kinds of sourdough starters) and pizza making outdoors. We’re completely off grid here. All solar and gas.
Beautiful loaves.
Nothing like a good wake and bake.
Where is SW NM?
Your voice is wonderful so is your 🥪 do a wonder job I no your cakes were so beautiful you keep baking and expand your baking never stop spread your baking Luke I do my garden give it away to homeless shelters and your friends. Sharing is caring
I love your mini bread oven, please can you give information on brand etc and where to purchase please? I've been baking for a while BUT I've never made my own starter due to my unsociable hours 🙃 been thinking about it for so long. I'm totally inspired but your videos so, I'm going to make my first starter this wknd ✨️
Rofco Belgium made home bake ovens
Love sesame seeded bread. Live your content. I only wish I lived close to you so I could purchase your beautiful bread.
That’s so cool and kinda crazy lol I luv baking and cooking to so that just a little crazy to me lol and have a nice day to
I stopped playing video games from 13-20. Found them again and they’re my life. I’ve made such great friends and genuinely enjoy my time playing. Im so glad you found your passion again!
“I started looking at food as a math equation.” Oh my gosh I’ve never heard anyone put it that way & it’s so true for dieters!! 🤣
This is literally my situation right now, I'm 14 and I love cooking and baking, I made a bunch of different things,me and my sister also had fun making those little pastries but lately I stopped and I became kind of a person who cares too much about what I eat so I always think that it'll be too unhealthy or too much carbohydrates so I don't bake much. I just made a bread today, It's still rising
I wanna get good at baking bread, because that way I can control what ingredients actually go into it. I.e. it's not loaded with 3 different types of sugar, as is common here in America.
But I'm not exactly patient enough to wait the multiple hours it takes for bread dough to rise, nor am I patient enough to wait for it to cool completely before cutting it.
Maybe someday I'll make good bread...
Amazing! I am mathematician and I love cooking and baking. These are share same essence of feeling. I enjoy cooking as much as I enjoy solving a math problem.
You making bread is the most satisfying thing to me now!
You go girl! Beautiful to see you reconnect with the joy and love and nourishment food & baking can provide 😊🎉
What a sweet message for young people everywhere
You are a lovely lady. What a sweet soul you are!
That loaf shaping technique is fascinating. So effective and attractive.
Just so lovely.. and very wise.
What an incredible story!❤
I struggled so much with food in the past. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about food so that I can spare my future kids the pain .
Thanks for sharing, beautiful bread and technique
Beautiful bread. Bet it taste incredible 😊
I’ve never seen anyone form loaves that way. Looks - and sounds- scrumptious.
All those foldings makes the dough to inflate against to. The more of them better results. Through the cutting hot gasses are expelled and the whole piece expands freely. I just wonder what hidration is she using.
I never could quite get the same looking sourdough but adore your videos!
That's a beautiful heart sharing... Thank you 🌺🙏🏻🌺
Looks so amazing!! ❤❤❤
Love that underside fold technique
sooooo relatable. The thing that finally freed me was going vegetarian for a while. Made me forget the equation of protein and carbs
This is so important!
That’s exactly how I felt. From I was around 5-13 years old, I would bake all the time and every time I had a friend over we would bake. My mom let me bake as much as I wanted and I loved it. I even said that I wanted to be a baker for years. In school when we had to do a presentation about our idol, I even chose a famous baker to talk about 😂 Everyone just knew that I wanted to work as a baker when I grew up.
Then when I was 13-19 I struggled with food a lot and cut out lots of food groups and stopped eating unhealthy things most of the time. Even a bit now that I’m 23 years old, it’s still hard for me whenever I’ve eaten something unhealthy. I’ve barely baked anything since I was 13 years old, unless it was for someone else, which I feel is very sad, since it used to be my favorite thing to do.
This year I want to get back into it again. I baked a loaf of bread a few days ago, and it felt so nice to make something homemade again, so I can’t wait to do it again soon ☺️
That Bread looks so yummy
Tears ♡
Love you sweet Holy woman
Wow thanks for sharing this❤️
I never really baked either until home ec class we made a casserole with ground beef, rice, tomato sauce, peppers, and onions, which was a really good simple meal
Your bread always makes my mouth water. Thank you 😊
Great message
Amazing bread!
Very touching story 🥲
Carbs are great. Your bread looks fantastic ! 😋 Congratulations 😀 🙏
Your accent is just lovely. 💕
Beautiful loaves! Fly, fly with those baking wings! ❤️
I just realized you have an Aussie accent. I subscribed a few days ago, and I've been watching a lot of your shorts. I didn't notice until now that you have an accent. I think I'm getting too used to Australian accents to where I don't even hear them anymore(My boyfriend and his family are from Tassie). I assumed you were American 💀. Anyway, I look forward to more videos xD
Thanks Mary I am a baker and a pastry chef and have been in the industry for 37 years and still find people like yourself to learn from
Relatable 😢 ❤❤❤
Those are gorgeous!!
That bread looks so amazing!!!
Gorgeous bread! Looks delicious!
I would love a Community Cookbook! ❤ I’ve never heard of one til now. 🥺
"too many carbs"
As asian, growing up in asian country, i just dont understand this huhi
Yeah man. Apparently its ALL we asians eat. Like cutting carbs is something i cant even imagine.
The "too many carbs" thing is just a made up myth for fad diets its ridiculous
Same, I eat mainly carbs, and while I do have some chub but its barely noticeable and, considering I barely exercise, if I did exercise I'd probably be much thinner.
(I don't feel like it though, my ribs is quite big and even with the chub I have you can still see it through my skin, if I get any thinner I'd look like a skeleton lol)
@@NassiLove yeah I've never really do exercise regularly and never really get fat. Rice everyday, sometimes 3 times a day but usually 2 times a day. My mom used to never really consider bread as proper meal, she consider it as snack so we will eat rice again even shortly after ate a sandwich.
But don't get me wrong, excercise is good for ur health physically and mentally not just for body shape.
@@husnaaisyah2485 Yeah, Im just not very motivated, though I do dance often so I guess that might've helped, I eat rice 3 meals a day all the time too unless my mom is too lazy to make food so she buys some, even then there's carbs in it, other times she makes us noodles.
Love carbs theyre great
this made me really happy thank you for sharing i can relate☺️
Love sesame crusted sourdough bread. Been baking it for the last 2 years.
I just started baking again, and forgot how much i enjoyed it. I think before it was just because I was much younger, and felt like I was forced to bake as a child. But I’m thoroughly enjoying it now, and forgot how much I missed it. Plus, I just found it more exciting to bake something else besides cakes… lol. To reach there own, but found cakes to still be that thing I don’t like making.😅
So glad that you're sharing your beautiful gift of cooking with the world.. Those yummy breads look absolutely fabulous!! Carry on!
That is the sexiest bread, wtf
Absolutely delicious looking bread loaf ❤
great share, and that totally makes sense .
This! I think this is something so many of us can relate to ^^
also, ooo what a cool oven
That's really sad that our society just turns ppl off to their passions in this way. I'm happy you're doing a task that brings you joy and simplicity
I agree with everything everyone is saying but, THAT BREAD IS PERFECT. I’m new to this channel and you seem like such an amazing person! New subscriber!❤❤❤
I can only relate to this because I used to draw as a kid and I drew freely without worrying about the results or worrying about public perception, I had so many creative ideas and so many details and time went into my drawings because I had fun. Now I don't have that anymore and I need to find out how to get it back :(
That bread looks so good !!
It looks so delicious ! All the best to you miss
As a german I am really impressed by your bread. And that means something.
Bread looks so good!!!
why do i relate to u so much
I did the exact same thing, thank you for sharing ❤
I subscribed because I love your interest in baking bread; not so common nowadays
Beautiful bread and I love what you said about food
Bread is my favorite food and the way I overcame that fear of eating too much empty carbs was to make my bread very rich, with a lot of seeds and extras :)
