Words of Wisdom for Your Day:
So I made some cookies with Saffron last night. A new recipe—kind of complicated, but nothing I couldn’t handle… or so I thought.
Have you ever done something without thinking? Well that’s exactly what I did. The recipe was one an actual bakery would use. Way more cups of flour than my Kitchen Aid could handle. From glancing at the recipe, something in me knew this much. However, I decided to proceed, trusting the recipe knew what it was doing and nothing could go wrong. Well it did in fact go wrong 😂
There was no way this mixture was going to be processed in my Kitchen Aid with 7.5 cups of flour!
This just proves that no matter what you do in life.. always question things that your gut is telling you and don’t always just listen to people because you think they should know what they are doing.
This recipe didn’t tell me what size of mixer I would need. I just assumed this was a recipe for normal in-home purposes.
I ended up making my life much harder and had to separate both the dry ingredients mixture and wet ingredients mixture.
From there I basically mixed each half in my mixer and then combined them to try to make a uniform mixture in a very large bowl.
The cookies turned out fine, really yummy! But I could have made this a 1 hour process instead of 3 had I listened to myself and decided to go off script and cut the recipe in half.
Point of the story: don’t stop questioning things even if they are the standard for whatever you’re doing. This is a very small example of how success happens in life. By being proactive and not just accepting things if they don’t seem right or if you think of a better way to do something. You may even end up surprising yourself…
Have a good day you guys!
