How Are You?

well hello there! my name is vei as you're probably aware, and i've revamped my site MAJORLY because i just wasn't feelin the arg anymore! this site is a cozy haven for anyone who's stressed or just needs a little break from the world to chill out and read someone else talking to them! i'm gonna use this site for a lot of things, even though i'm not too great at coding hehe;; there won't be any fancy games but i know some people like to read about peoples days, so thats what im using this site for! i have a journal that goes more in-depth about how i'm doing and how i'm feeling, but this main site will be about just talking about things i like and also sharing some miscellaneous recipes that i like, including my famous banana bread! hope you enjoy :)

heres some recipes!

hi there! here are some recipes for u to try out! recipe number one is banana bread :] its a family recipe with just a few alterations courtesy of yours truly! (me, lol) first off you're gonna need 2 or 3 fully brown bananas, if they arent fully browm just eat them instead! you're also gonna need a cup of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, 1 1/2 cups of flour, all purpose is best but if you have any dietary restrictions gluten free or almond flour also works well, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/3 cup of butter, 1 large egg and chocolate chips if you wanna be fancy! (here's a tip: if you wanna add cocoa powder, use less flour! it'll make the loaf less dry). preheat your oven to 350 degrees farenheight, or 175 degress celcius, butter a 4x8 loaf pan and mash your bananas! add all the dry and wet ingredients into seperate bowls (because it's easier to mix the egg in the wet mixture) and then mix them both together with a spatula or whisk! you don't need an electric mixer, but you can use one if you want to! bake for around 50 minutes, and if the outside is fully cooked but the inside isn't, put a small piece of aluminium foil over the bread til a toothpick comes out clean to insulate the bread and make sure the top doesn't burn :) and that's it! happy baking! hello again! todays recipe is an easy one, just basic sugar cookies! what you will need are 2 3/4 cups of all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 cup of softened butter, 1 1/2 cups of white or brown sugar, 1 egg, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. you will need to preheat your oven to 375 degrees farenheight, or 190 degrees celcius, and in a small bowl combine all your dry ingredients and set it aside. in a large bowl cream together yoour butter and sugar until smooth, then add your egg and vanilla, then when all the wet ingredients are all evenly mixed add in your dry ingredients and mix until you get a smooth ball of cookie dough, roll the dough into balls on a greased cookie sheet then bake for 8 to 10 minutes. my favorite topping for sugar cookies especially in the holiday season is cinnamon sugar or a chocolate glaze! to make a chocolate glaze all you need is milk, powdered sugar and cocoa powder! you can use whatever measurements you want based on the amount of glaze you're making, just make sure the glaze is smooth and not too thick! happy baking!
