This food blog is supposed to be a fun outlet for me to express myself and share delicious recipes. However, sometimes I get overwhelmed by trying to make content that is perfect. Life is not perfect and neither is my food. The food I normally post is picture perfect and ready to make but I figured I would show what happens when it does not turn out.
My food does not turn out more often then I would care to admit. But that is the process of learning. I made french macaroons a few weeks ago and they turned out wonderful. I had it in my head that I would make so many wonderful macaroons because I was this magical macaroon making queen. However, my confidence was shattered when I made them again and they were disastrous. Turns out macaroons are hard to make. I just got lucky the first time.
So, I got frustrated for a little while. Left the kitchen. Moped and then moved on. Did the dishes and tried to figure out what went wrong. Maybe the sprinkles were too heavy? Maybe I whisked the batter too many times? Maybe I let them bake for too long? Maybe the weather was wonky so it did not sit for the proper amount of time? I am not sure. What I am sure of though, is that I will keep trying to make macaroons. Honestly, I don’t even like eating them. I just like the challenge and I am a stubborn person.
Wish me luck everyone!
