You know what I really love?
A simple recipe.
Like, one that doesn’t require much thought. Something I can make while listening to a podcast and just kinda… Zone out to. Like the – coming home from my dietetic internship a bit exhausted and ready to blow off some steam in the kitchen without requiring much effort kinda vibes.
This recipe is just that.
It doesn’t require you to pre-heat the oven or make sure that your food doesn’t burn in the oven. All you need is 7 ingredients, a blender ( i use my mom’s vitamix – HIGHLY recommend ), and a freezer. It is just that simple.
WELL, I would recommend a cookie scoop because it makes the whole situation seem a bit more profesh, but it isn’t required!
