A life-changing April 2021

I’ve put off writing this post because I didn't really know how to start. Maybe I wanted it to sounder grander than it was? Or maybe everything hasn’t fully sunk in yet. I should probably stop overthinking and so here I am just starting. I don't want to keep delaying this anymore because as you...

Homemade gazpacho

I was inspired by my friend Nicole to try my hand at making gazpacho. When she posted the ingredients she used for her gazpacho, I saw that I had everything (except vinegar) so I decided to try it out as well. Apparently, it's very easy to make! Made a little booboo though, because I didn't...
