Today I made my mom a carrot cake before going to work. I haven't been getting enough sleep these last few weeks, but I wanted to make her something that she has been requesting for a while now. The night before I bought ingredients that I didn't have, and then I woke up an hour and a half earlier than I usually do today to prep everything - grating the carrots, melting the butter, mixing the flour, nutmeg and cinnamon.
I also cleaned the oven, as our oven was smoking for a bit because something that had dripped to the oven floor was not cleaned.
It has been a while since I've baked, and I've also been addressing some internal struggles which has made me be a bit selfish, so creating something simple like a carrot cake for my mother who has worked so hard so that she can provide for herself and for her family felt gratifying. This small act on my end put a smile on her face and made me feel better throughout my day today.

Hope everyone can use this! Ps. I'm a vegetarian and never cook meat, so i had to go out and buy the key item. : )
