Final thoughts on my Genius hour project

Well friends this is the end of this genius hour project and I must say that it was a nice experience. I usualy don't bake that often and most of the time I do not have a reason too. This project allowed me to spend more time on my hobbie and most importantly to take the time to relax. I find myslef constantly stressed over school and work, and I never have time for myself anymore. When I do, I free my mind by watching idiotic TV shows that does not require me to use my brain. I love baking and trying out new things so moving forward, I will continue to make for more than just special occasions and I will also try to cook more often. I will also work more on my other hobbbies like playing the flute and drawing. I will still be watching idiotic movies and shows but I will also try to do one hour of each of my hobbies.

This genius hour project really got me to reflect and think about myslef. I learned that I am very curious and always analyse everything. I will be eager to try new things and I always reflect on what I can do better. I am also very enthusiastic and optimist which comes in handy when I don't know how a project or anything will turn out. I hope to be able to take all of this with me into my teaching career and never stop trying new ideas. I will not let myself fall into a cycle that I reuse every year without modifying it. However, I also tend to beat myself over when things don't work out the way I want them to and I need to learn how to let go and stress less. If i do another genius hour project I would most likely try to learn how to properly medidate. Hope you all enjoyed my attempts and that you had fun on your genius hour project too!

See you next time!

New recipe!

Buon Giorno everyone!

For today's genius hour, I decided I was not going to make a Tiramisu like I intended to, instead, I tried to follow a banana muffin recipe. I loved making Tiramisu and I will keep my last attempt with strawberries for the last post of this Genius hour project. Having to make a Tiramisu for five weeks made me love baking even more, it influenced me in baking and cooking even more. I have been exploring a lot more with spices, sauces and recipes and I'm really enjoy it! This past weekend I bought some bananas that were going bad and I didn't want to just make a banana bread like I usually do. I researched a few recipes and tried this healthy banana muffin recipe where only bananas, brown sugar, flour, and eggs were required.

The recipe was pretty foward and I had little trouble making it. One problem that I found was that my brown sugar bag was open and the humidity went in solidifying the sugar. It was difficult to mix it in and even then it left some chunks. I also didn't have lemon juice like the recipe required but it didn't affect the muffin too much.

I really liked them and they taste very good! Next time, I will definitly try to mix the recipe with something to add a little bit more flavor and suprise to the muffin! I'm excited and looking forward to baking and cooking more.

Enjoy those photos!
