Emotionally Baked

Welcome to Emotionally Blooming! Here we are going to take all those talking about our emotions through baking and reading and talk about how we are blooming through it all. In this first episode, we will dive into how our healing journey can be hit or miss. How we can try our hardest to nurture ourselves and we fail. But failing just means we try again. That’s hard. Let’s talk about it.

Today’s recipe comes from krafftykitchen.com All you need is sweetened condensed milk, butter, salt, water, sugar and vinegar. Take a breath and enjoy the process of this recipe. It takes time but it’s worth it. I halved the recipe just fyi. Remember to catch your breath and breathe this week and be content with all you’ve done.

Chapter 4 of the emotionally booked podcast. Where are we talk about books and how they emotionally affect us. Thank you for joining me today as we discussed the cozy fantasy books of Sarah Beth Durst. I just love a warm hug in a book and that’s what these are. Enjoy!

Today’s podcast is on apathy. Ever feel like not feeling? Yeah I was deep in that emotion so much that I didn’t want to record while I was baking! Who am I?! But I did video so this one is a little different- a voiceover isn’t how I like to do things but I wasn’t feeling it - just like the topic of the day.Recipe:ApplesCans of cinnamon rolls Lemon juice VanillaCinnamon Cornstarch Water

On today’s EB production’s podcast we’re emotionally booked on Sarah A. Parker’s To Bleed A Crystal Bloom. It’s the first book in the Crystal Bloom Series and I am obsessed!!!

I hope these reviews and thoughts will inspire you to read, to feel, and to relish in the emotions these masterful books and authors bring to us.

Introducing the new section of the Emotionally Baked podcast… Emotionally Booked. Here we do a mini review of a book and how it has emotionally wrecked us, whether good, bad or otherwise.

Put that in the refrigerator , let that solidify and then make the vanilla with the espresso later and add that on top.

The crust recipe is simple and can be halved:1 stick butter crisco shortening 3 cups flour1 1/2 tsps salt2/3 cup cold water The filling I just diced up 3 apples and cooked over low heat with a frozen berry blend.
