To say a lot has happened the last 17 months is an understatement. I think a lot of us have spent the last year doing a lot of thinking - I know I have! What do I want to do? What makes me happy? How can I live my life to the fullest? What will I regret if I don’t do it know? I’m still figuring these things out but what I do know for now is that I need to stop putting things off for the future!
So with a new apartment (aka new natural lighting) and a renewed sense of “let’s do this!” here’s to hoping for more cooking, more travel, more photos, more life.
First up - plant-based croissants! There are very few times where my non-vegan past is pulling at me - where I feel a little desire to just eat something else. Croissants are one of those times but not every croissant though - only croissants when I’m with BaBa. When I first started going vegan, I remember him saying “but who will eat the croissants with me” queue the heartstrings. I immediately felt guilty.
This always seemed like a time-consuming challenge - hours needed to be spent making the layers and I wasn’t sure I had the patience. But, with a three-day weekend (July 4th) and no desire to go out into humid NYC, I was determined to make it happen. I watched Youtube videos on repeat and after 36 hrs, was very happy with my first attempt.
