Hey there, breakfast lovers! It's time for the ultimate breakfast showdown: pancakes or waffles? Personally, I'm team pancake all the way! There's something about those soft, fluffy stacks that just makes my morning. I love how they soak up all the syrup and how you can mix in blueberries, chocolate chips, or even bananas right into the batter. Plus, you can get creative with toppings—whipped cream, nuts, fresh fruit, you name it! But hey, waffles have their charm too. Those crispy edges and perfect little pockets for holding syrup are pretty tempting. So, what about you? Are you team pancake or team waffle? And why? Let's hear your tasty thoughts! #businessdecisions #financialchoices #budgeting #expensemanagement #bookkeeping #smallbusinesslife #entrepreneurmindset #financialplanning #moneymanagement #financialstrategy #businessgrowth #profitandloss #taxes #cashflowmanagement #financialtracking #businessoperations #accountingtips #financialefficiency #entrepreneurialjourney

FOoD LOvE I love baking popovers once I learned how easy they are to prepare, bake and enjoy. I love how airy they are. I love how you could eat them with jam. Personally, I am a diehard black cherry preserves lover. I posted it here before: I like Preppy Kitchen’s recipe, former Math/Science teacher, John Kanell is precise and his recipes are so easy to follow. 👩🍳1 1/4 cups of flour, I use bread flour. 👩🍳1 1/4 cups milk 👩🍳3 lg eggs, room temperature 👩🍳3/4 tsp salt 👩🍳3 tbsp melted butter Heat oven 450 F. Blend in Blender for 20 seconds. Scrap, blend for another 20 seconds. Refrigerate until buttered tins are ready. Heat tins in oven for 10 minutes. Quick blend of mixture for 10 seconds, and pour mixture into tins. Bake 18 minutes. Do not open oven. Reset oven to 350 F and bake for another 18 minutes. Insert knife to let out steam. Let them rest for a minute. Transfer to serving tray. ☕️ Eat together. Mimosas optional, lattes are wonderful. #creation #sundayvibes #family

Making Mistakes and Failing Imagine you are about to do something for the first time. You have no prior experience and knowledge of how to do this new thing. You’re bound to make “mistakes”. You’re bound to “fail”. You’re bound to “mess up”. For example, last week, I attempted to make a dim sum dish that’s one of my favourites. 豉汁蒸鳯爪 - Steamed chicken feet, in black bean sauce. The recipe was straightforward and easy to follow. Yet, my result was nowhere near the recipe’s result. I may have missed a step or THREE. I could have steamed the chicken feet for another hour, as they were still quite tough. I didn’t get the cornflour ratio right. So, the sauce was too thick. I used too much black beans. I rarely cook with black beans, because I’m not a big fan of it. Now that I have “failed” miserably, next attempt is going to be easier. I am going to be able to fellow each step and probably won’t miss any. The chicken feet is going to be softer, because I am going to steam them for another hour. ✅ I am going to use less black beans. ✅ As for the sauce, it is going to be a thinner sauce. ✅ So, chicken feet or something else, when you are doing something for the first time, make the “mistakes” and “fail”. Why? These are the ingredients to getting results you want, because you are going to learn what works and what doesn’t, as soon as possible. #doingnewthings #makemistakes #failure

Did you know that today is National Peanut butter cookie day? You might be wondering what the connection is between grief and baking, but across cultures and backgrounds, food has always held universal power to evoke cherished memories. And what better way to honour the precious memory of your lost child than through the art of baking? 💖 Here’s why it could be a meaningful activity to try this week: 🌺 Emotional Connection: Baking bridges the gap between your recollection and the present. Kneading dough while talking about your child (even to yourself) is a great way to keep your child’s memory alive. 🌈 Therapeutic Touch: Amidst the chaos of loss, baking offers predictability. Mixing ingredients to create something delicious can bring a sense of calm. 🎨 Personalized Tribute: Make it uniquely theirs. Whether it's their favourite flavour, colour, or a theme like football, butterflies or crocodiles, every batch becomes a beautiful tribute. And if baking isn’t your cup of tea, that’s okay too! 💕 Treat yourself to a store bought cookie this week in their honour, and send them some love. #AmberNT #ConversationsThatMatter #healing #besideyouingrief #childlosssupport #bereavedparentsupport

🌟 BROWNIE ALERT! 🌟 Received some game-changing feedback from my girlfriend on my brownies this weekend. She pointed out they were more cakey than fudgy, which sparked a baking journey like no other. 🍫 After some initial pouting (we've all been there), I delved into the world of brownie perfection with research from Claire Saffitz and Reddit threads galore. Armed with newfound knowledge, I embarked on a messy, multi-pan adventure. From browning butter to blooming espresso and cocoa with dark chocolate, every step led to a decadent masterpiece. 🎨 The result? A batch of dense, fudgy brownies that left us both speechless. The key? The meticulous process - from whipping eggs to gently folding in dark chocolate chunks. It was a reminder that in baking (and life), the process can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. 🌟 While the ingredients may have been the same, the process elevated the end product to a whole new level. It's a lesson that transcends baking - highlighting the transformative power of a thoughtful process in any creative endeavor. 💭 What revelations have you had about the impact of process in your creative pursuits? Share your insights! 🎨🍴 #BrownieMagic #CreativeJourney #ProcessMatters #Brownies #Baking #Creativity #Feedback #Process #ClaireSaffitz

Confidence is the key to many things including one of my favourite things, baking a cake. Nothing can shake your confidence as failure. Especially when you have put so much care and attention into it, just like when baking a cake for someone special. To achieve our desired outcomes, it is important to understand what is happening during the process.  Any deviation from the process or misunderstanding of what goes with what, may end in failure – and that is something we wish to avoid. So, what is happening when a cake is being baked! The first step is called creaming, when fat and sugar are mixed. This process results in little bubbles of air being trapped in the mixture, each one surrounded by a film of fat. Trapped air produces a light finished cake. With the addition of egg, a layer is formed around each bubble that when heated turns rigid, preventing the bubble from popping and ruining the cake. And so on and so forth. I am led by the science of cooking and this interest extends to business. Where I am fascinated by how things work together and how processes work together.  Process understanding and control within the process gives us confidence that the outcome will be the same each and every time a task is completed. #confidence #processcontrol #process #understandingprocess
