Gingerbread House: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, molasses, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and baking soda together until the mixture is smooth. To the modern cook, making a gingerbread house may seem nearly as daunting as building a real house.
Instructions to make Gingerbread house:
- Melt both sugar, syrup, salt and butter together on low heat in a big saucepan. Once all melted turn the heat off.
1. Add dry ingredients together in a big mixing bowl (flour, spices power) - Pour the wet ingredients into the mixing bowl with dry ingredients.
1. Mix well until all the ingredients combine and start to form to a soft ball.
1. Rest your dough in the fridge for 15-20 min. While waiting for dough to rest you can cut up your gingerbread house template.
- Once your dough rested, use 2 big pieces of baking paper just enough to cover your dough. Place your dough on one baking paper and place another one over. Use your rolling pin start to roll them out from the middle of your dough until you get about half of centimetres thick.
- Cut out the required shapes. You can also cut up some Christmassy shapes like tree, snowman any other character you prefer.
- Id you have some leftover dough you can roll them out thinly into a big shape and cut to make an edible base. I cut out into big circle to make a base.
- Bake them in the oven on 130’c - 150’c for 12-15 min (you need to keep an eye on them as they cook quite quickly) I normally know when my gingerbread cooked is when your house smell of gingerbread 🥰.

Foods That Make You Happy
Mostly, people have been trained to believe that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and should be avoided. If your comfort food is candy or junk food this can be true. At times, comfort foods can be utterly nutritious and good for us to consume. There are a number of foods that, when you eat them, can boost your mood. If you are feeling a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try several of these.
Eggs, would you believe, are great for helping you fight depression. You need to make sure, however, that what you make includes the yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the egg yolk especially, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can actually help you boost your mood. This is because the B vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–work better. Eat an egg and be happy!
Build a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be improved by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and so on. This is because seeds and nuts have a lot of magnesium which raises your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is known as the “feel good” chemical substance and it tells your brain how you should be feeling day in and day out. The more of it in your brain, the happier you’ll feel. Nuts, along with bettering your mood, can be a super source of protein.
Cold water fish are excellent for eating if you are wanting to fight depression. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all high in omega-3s and DHA. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can actually help you overcome your depression.
Grains can be great for fighting a terrible mood. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are great at helping you feel better. They help you feel full too which can really help to better your mood. It’s easy to feel a little bit off when you are starving! The reason these grains are so great for your mood is that they are easy for your stomach to digest. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps raise your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, raises your mood.
Your mood can really be helped by green tea. You knew green tea had to be in this article somewhere, right? Green tea is high in a certain amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have shown that this amino acid basically induces brain waves. This will better your brain’s focus while also loosening up the rest of your body. You knew that green tea helps you become healthier. Now you are aware that green tea helps you to elevate your moods also!
As you can see, you don’t need to eat all that junk food when you are wanting to feel better! Try a few of these instead!
