Reading List

This is a list of all of the books that I have either already read or want to read. As you'll see, I have a pretty wide taste in literature - classics, romance, YA fiction... I like it all! Once I finish reading a book, I will post the link where you can read the review I write about it! If you think I should add any books to this list, please let me know in the comments! 😊

Banana Bread-Bottom Cheesecake

YUM. I am not a huge fan of banana bread, but after trying this recipe, I am in love! I saw this recipe on my Tasty app and thought, "what the heck, let's try it out"! The banana bread part of it was so moist and so yummy, and the cheesecake part was great because it wasn't as rich as regular cheesecake (less guilt after eating it!) Here is the ingredients list for the banana bread layer: 4 ripe bananas (the riper, the better!) 4 tbsp. vegetable oil 1 egg 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1.5 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt 1 tsp. cinnamon For the cheesecake part: 32 oz.

So I Jumped On The Bandwagon...

...and I have no shame whatsoever. I finally gave in to all the hype and watched "To All The Boys I've Loved Before" on Netflix and TBH, it was SO worth it!! I usually don't give in to the hype on popular shows/movies on Netflix for various reasons, but after rave reviews from friends and family, and being unable to escape the hype on social media (looking at you Buzzfeed... every other article I scrolled past in the last week has been about/related to TATBILB), I caved and watched it. And I have no ragrets. Seriously, not a single one.  For those who have not watched this gem of a film, I'll give you a brief description without spoilers, because I am a decent human being like that. Personally, I thought it was the ultimate modern day mashup of "Can't Buy Me Love", "10 Things I Hate About You", "Sixteen Candles", and a couple of other John Hughes and classic rom-coms. This girl Lara Jean has written very open, honest, and h...

Going Through Some Stuff

So, I just wanted to say that the reason I've been sucking at posting lately is because I've just been having a rough time with a bunch of things and my mind has been elsewhere. Shit has kinda hit the fan at work and school, and being homesick is not helping. I'm hoping this rough patch ends soon. It has to.. right? Anyways, I'll make my other post a decent recipe so that way I am contributing something somewhat worthy to this blog. Ttyl.
