#NovemberRoad - Almond Coconut Chocolate Scones

“Take pride in how far you've come. Have faith in how far you can go. But don't forget to enjoy the journey" -  Michael Josephson

Scones on my list! oh yeah! I love breakfasts, fancy breakfast but only at hotels. I don't make them at home but if served to me, I take the largest portion thinking I'll skip the lunch (sometimes I do, don't judge).

they only problem is that we at home have very limited options when it comes to breakfast. scrambled, french toast, omelette, did I say scrambled?

You get the gist?

This is why I'm trying to check out newer options. Scones were bookmarked because I am forever thinking of changing our breakfast menu and it never happens. Maybe now we look towards adding one more thing to 'limited ways to eat an egg'.

#NovemberRoad - Zebra Bundt Cake

“Why fit in when you were born to stand out?” ― Dr. Seuss

When I started working on my November list I had a couple of bookmarks to choose from. So I went around asking family members about what would they like to add to it.

Bundt cake was not there in the bookmarks because of the simple fact that its been done at home earlier. Mostly marble swirls. I stumbled upon one of the pins on Pinterest while looking for a surprise inside cake and was absolutely mesmerized by the colorful pattern. We had to add this to the NovemberRoad.

I didn't think I could pull it off until I reached YouTube looking for fondant cake tutorial and realized that its not as difficult as I made it up in my head.

And the best part?
No two slices are same. Surprise!

The recipe was sourced from Home Cooking Adventure

Along with Chocolate and Vanilla batter from the recipe, I made Yellow batter by adding 2 Tsp of Yellow color to 3/4 cup of vanilla batter in a small bowl. (You can add less color depending on the product you are using)

How to create the pattern, I followed the method as shown in this video

Chocolate ~ Chocolate Chip Cookies

Do you believe in destiny or fate?

I think I have started believing in cosmic energy. This universe has its way of giving you signs and considering the amount of rubbish and doubt that's filled inside one's head, we just simply choose to ignore it.

My cousin told me a while back that if I really need something, I NEED to believe that I need it!

I laughed at it, of course because for me it has always been me fighting for something and never getting it or finally receiving a call only when the needs over.

And the reason why I'm writing about my insight exploration is that I NEED that belief to make my dreams come true. 

Do I want them to come true? 

But its never this easy. Nothing is easy and for that its time to prove that I'm over easy and need to win. From my doubts. From Me!

Its time to make the changes and these chocolate ~ chocolate chip cookies ;)
