I just devoured my cinnamon roll like I just got out of prison.

But whyyyyy did it taste so good?? 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

[Momma LarJ @MommaLarJ]

I’m sad because regular Oreos have soy in them and I can’t use them for my Cookie & Cream goodies.

😭😭

I love our Jamaican Thanksgiving dinners, but I really wish we had mac & cheese and candied yams. The chefs of the family need to get in touch with their African American side.

I volunteer as tribute 🙋🏾‍♀️ I’ll make the vegan versions for our next feast.

Someone in PA ordered pumpkin pie from my Etsy shop a few hours ago.

🤔🤔🤔

[Momma LarJ @MommaLarJ]

Etsy takes a fat percentage of the sale, but it’s still one of my favorite platforms.

Because how else would these people in Georgia, and Minnesota, and Missouri have heard about lil ole me? 🥹

One woman has put in an order for Christmas, fam. CHRISTMAS!

Ok, but the vanilla cake I made this morning is the best vanilla cake I’ve ever made.

Wow.

I have so much leftover cake. How can I not eat it all? 🤔

Once I figure out how to make vegan macarons, it’s a wrap.

Daddy put me in charge of the sorrel this year 🫣 He gave me enough sorrel to make 5 gallons.

FIVE GALLONS. Oh my word.

My car incident was 2 years ago and I still haven’t mentally recovered from it. I still have severe anxiety while driving. Every winding road triggers an almost-panic attack 😞

You know how many winding roads there are?? A lot.

So I can’t drive anymore. Nope.

I’m really happy I got paid today because now I can buy all the unnecessary things that I have in my Amazon cart 🥲

Last night I went to sleep at 11:30 PM. Tonight I’m going to sleep at 2:38 AM. #balance

My morning exercise was me learning the “Water” dance.

[Momma LarJ @MommaLarJ]

I told the boys that I would give them half of a cinnamon roll to eat with their snack at lunch tomorrow and they said, “Yay!”

🥲🥲🥲

3.5 hours of labor has not gone in vain, so we thank God.

[Momma LarJ @MommaLarJ]

I took a bite of a chicken nugget from Garden Catering yesterday, looked at it and said, “If I’m sick tomorrow, this is why.”

And guess what 💩

[Momma LarJ @MommaLarJ]

The fact that I have to order vegan sprinkles from Europe 😪

And they’re not even the super cute ones with the silver rods.

I need to figure out how to make my own sprinkles.

[Momma LarJ @MommaLarJ]

Just ordered enough vegan sprinkles to last at least a year 😅

The most time-consuming part of being allergen-friendly baking is reading the ingredients of every single thing to make sure it’s good.

I saw some pretty sprinkles that were vegan but they had soy. I was sad.

Julian is going to star in his first campaign tomorrow. It’s a big day for us! I need to go to sleep so I can film & submit my draft in time 🥲

[Momma LarJ @MommaLarJ]

3 things I vow to never do again:

-Replace cane sugar with coconut sugar when making simple syrup
-Use 100% cacao chocolate chips when making brownies
-Use that silicone baking tray to make fudge brownies

Lessons learned 🫠

[Momma LarJ @MommaLarJ]

Doc has given us the green light to:

-Feed Julian everything, except honey
-Sleep train Julian, which means allowing him to holler at 2 AM for 5-30 min

I don’t know about that second one, but yay for more food!

[Momma LarJ @MommaLarJ]

This week was supposed to be the week that I finally try out that vegan cinnamon roll recipe I’ve had my eye on. But I have 6 “orders” to fulfill, so I’m going to teach myself how to work with fondant & colors instead 🩷🤗💚☺️ #veganbaking
