The Heartbake: Chocolate Loaf

Hey there and welcome to the ninth entry of The Heartbake: Baking My Way Through Heartbreak!

This week was filled with lots of tears! I cried probably about three times this week which is definitely not normal for me.

I definitely miss my ex-boyfriend. I miss the way we could laugh together and go on little adventures. I know that whatever happens in the future I will always be able to look back on our memories and only think of how happy I was, but it’s hard to be in this stage of sadness right now. 

I can’t wait to see what the future holds and I try to keep in mind that things can only go up from here. This week I made a delicious Chocolate Loaf. I hope you enjoy! Thank you and remember, Stay Tasty!💜😋
