Graduate Medical Student, Baker and Survivor of Life
Stories of how I’m traveling through life and the adventures i go on.
Not going home last week was a difficult decision to make. I wanted to go home and go to some fireworks with my family, a tradition we have done for as long as i can remember. However, i knew if i went home i would have to wait until this week to complete my end… Continue reading Bonfire Celebrations at Kenilworth Castle
I love cooking, especially now i am in my student house. I have plenty more freedom in deciding what i eat, when i eat and how healthy i want to be.

I've officially moved in to my new house and i am feeling so positive about the whole process.

I think it can officially be said that it is now autumn, the darkening evenings, the colder weather and the leaves starting to fall off the trees is a perfect sign.

During one of the hottest days last week i was looking into cakes that contained vegetables. I always want to eat healthier, but when you have a baking obsession that you have… Continue reading Making Peas Taste Great Again! – Pea, Lemon and Vanilla Cake
Letters. Those things in the mailbox that aren't thrown in the trash right away. When somebody sits down and put their thoughts down on a piece of paper and ship it off with a forty-nine cent stamp. Nowadays, there are many ways to communicate. You can use Snapchat, Facebook, Periscope, even the ancient art of e-mail to name a few.
