Who else goes crazy when they have time off? I'm done with summer class and I have two weeks of vacations before the semester starts again. Mornings are so long and slow this days, I go to crossfit, done and then what? I'm trying to keep myself occupied because as much as we all need some rest sometimes we all need some work to do as well!
So one thing that I enjoy doing? Cooking and baking, so I've been getting creative in the kitchen, this time I wasn't sure what I was going after when I was throwing in a bowl a whole bunch of ingredients. The result was pretty amazing!
Back in the day me and my mom used to buy a well known protein bar, they have all the flavors and actually I have to admit that the taste was very good! But those days of artificial flavors are over, we have evolved *raises both hands in the air and angels sing in the background*.
According to my mom these bars what I'm about to share taste just like those bars we used to enjoy! So this makes me so happy because I managed to create something delicious based on my intuition and boredom. Good things happen at those moments too!
