Missing Motivation

Since last April when I had the COVID scare, I haven’t baked any new and decent recipes. The best I’ve come up with are my fudge brownies and a banana loaf. I’ve made a few batches of flour tortilla to pair with my hummus but that’s it.

This actually happens to me several times. The oven remains cold then I get the baking streak wherein I bake at all hours. I’m actually hoping to get that feeling again but it seems so hard to find. I’m trying to jumpstart it by making a sourdough starter but even that seems a failure. Haha!

And I think it goes for home cooking too. In the past two weeks, I haven’t done much food shopping because I wanted to finish all the food in the fridge. I haven’t had any vegetables because I didn’t go to the Farmer’s market. I am subsisting on breakfast food and takeaways and burgers are my go to meals at the moment. This is getting bad. Just today, instead of making lunch, I went to my mom’s house and ate. The husband had already his brunch and I was watching a movie. When it ended, I was too hungry to prepare my own food so I hightailed to a place I know already has a meal waiting for me.

**The reason why I don’t eat with the husband is because I don’t like the food he likes. His main fare is garlic fried rice, scrambled eggs and proteins like chicken, ham, sausages etc. I prefer plain rice or toast, sunny side up and proteins. And besides, I’m not used to eating early. We usually rise at about 8 am and I usually have something to eat by 10. That’s my brunch already and then I have coffee. He eats after he showers and leaves for work which is around 8:30 or 9am.**

The big problem is I don’t know how to overcome this. I’m actually attempting to make cinnamon rolls after this and I do hope I’ll make some. Ugh!

***Update***

Hunger can be a good motivator, as I’ve learned this afternoon. Haha! Finally made cinnamon rolls, half of the dough I made into rolls and made pasta with chorizo and salami. Carbs overload!
