One Year After Getting Laid Off – My Annual Passive Income Report A lot can happen in one year. A lot. Just one year ago, at the age of 25, I was living in my parents’ home, engaged to be married. I got laid off and wasn’t exactly sure what was going to happen next. I do feel very fortunate to be where I’m at today. My Mindset for Success Survival Getting laid off sucks. It’s easy to panic, because it’s human nature. Decisions Getting laid off was not like coming to the end of a road, but rather arriving to a fork, one where I could decide where I would want to go next. One path I knew would lead me down a road that I was quite familiar with: I’d go out and search for another job in the architecture industry. There were two reasons why I didn’t go down that path again: I thought about how happy I was the last time I was on that path. So, I made the decision to go full force with an internet business. Know You’re Right “The building curves here…” “Why does the building curve there?” “Well, because it addresses the wind coming from the West.” See what I mean?
A Sweet Treat for your Sweetheart (or Guests!) | Mikado Weddings While searching for the perfect edible Valentine’s Day treat, I found countless cupcakes, candies, and cookies. Then a friend introduced me to CAKE POPS…a rolled up ball of cake dipped in candy coating on a lollipop stick. This was perfect and began my search for all things cake pop. There are numerous recipes out there, but they are all similar. You don’t need a fancy cake recipe for this treat, just a box mix. Inspired by the queen of cakepops, I followed Bakerella’s easy recipe for my first attempt at these delicious treats. Ingredients: Cake mix of your choice (I used strawberry), butter cream or cream cheese frosting, candy coating (bark or melts), sprinkles Preheat the oven at 350 degrees and prepare the cake mix as instructed on the box. Bake as instructed on the box and let the cake cool completely. Mix the frosting with the cake (don’t be afraid to use your hands!) Once the cake is hard, then you’re ready to dip! Once they harden (about half an hour), then they’re ready.

Avocado Hummus This avocado hummus is delicious. And I know I say that a lot, but I really rilly like this one. It’s a good one! In other related news, why are avocados so expensive? I get that they’re delicious, buttery, fatty (in a healthy way!) No but really… I like to consider myself a pretty good “ripe” fruit picker, but avocados sort of make me nervous, because sometimes they’re perfectly ripe, yet their exterior is still a little green. I sometimes put my pride on the side and I enlist the produce guy to help. This avocado hummus is exactly what it sounds like: avocado and hummus totally making out, getting married and making a child. I went the traditional hummus route. Can we also just discuss how delicious tahini is?! Avocado Hummus Print this recipe! 2 garlic cloves 1 (15-ounce) can of garbanzo beans 1 lemon, zest and juice 2 tablespoon tahini 2 avocados Salt Olive Oil Paprika 1. 2.

The Londoner: Slutty Brownies Now I don’t want to over sell this, so I’m going to be conservative and simply say, that these are… The Best Brownies In The WORLD. I know, big statement. They’re called Slutty Brownies because they’re oh so easy, and more than a little bit filthy. They’re best served warm from the oven, with good quality vanilla ice cream (devastatingly I didn’t have any in the freezer this time, so I guess I’ll just have to make them again). They take about 45mins to make, including baking time. The ultimate comfort food, whipped up within the hour. You will need… 1 Box of cookie mix, 1 Box of brownie mix, 2 Eggs, 2 Packs of Oreos (double stuffed ones are even better if you can find them) Some oil & your favourite ice-cream (optional) Preheat your oven to 350F, 180C, gas mark 4. Line a baking tray with grease proof paper. Squidge (technical term) the cookie dough into a lined baking tray, until it covers the bottom. Cover this layer with your Oreos. Mix up your brownie batter. & pour over your Oreos. Bake for 30mins.
