Although Im not a health food blog, I do like to share some healthier options that I cook and eat on a daily basis. The sweets and treats I share on it are not what I eat daily. I have always had a balanced approach to food and understood that indulging in a sweet treat or something rich and decadent is truly something to be enjoyed, not feared if its in moderation.
Meal prep! I know it sounds clich and obvious, but it helps so much. I dont mean every ingredient chopped and ready to go (that would take me a full day to do that and I dont have time for that) but what I do mean is having a general idea of what you want to cook for the week plus having alternative options and having the ingredients in stock. I just know that if Im missing even one component and I dont have a simple alternative I will quickly be defeated and call for take-out. And I always keep things super simple during the busy midweek when it comes to meals and usually do something special or more time consuming on the weekend. I reserve most baking for the weekend too as I dont mind having a late-night baking session if I know I get to sleep in the next day.
Read through the entire recipe (even twice) before starting, and measurements do count when it comes to baking. Simple but so important.
