Baking Therapy May 19th

Hello Everyone, Trying new things to bake and cook is definitely helping with my mood. When trying something new the only struggles I have are not having all the ingredients and then not knowing how the recipe is supposed to turn out. On Tuesday I made Mascarpone Mixed Berry Cake and instead of using mascarpone, I used cream cheese with 1/4 cup whipping cream as a substitute. The cake was good but it was heavy and had almost a cream cheesecake texture. Practice makes perfect but the biggest accomplishment for me is that it takes well even though you do not know what it is going to look like or taste like when you make it. With today's bake therapy I am going to put the link of the recipe into my post and put the ingredients list if you want to make it.

I already had chicken in the refrigerator ready to used so I made breaded chicken and put it into the oven. I put the timer for 20 minutes and got my vegetable on the stove which was whole corn and then looked to see what pasta I wanted to add with it. Supper was done within 45 minutes and we were all sitting at the table eating. How did I make the breaded chicken? I will go through the steps and how I did them. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  For the chicken, I rinsed and cut the chicken in half to make t...

Good Evening Everyone, Hello, my name is Sasha and I love to cook, bake, and craft. Today has been the first cool day we have had in a few days. On hot days I try not to cook because I do not want the house to get any hotter. So with today being a windy and rainy day, I decided to bake.
