Ah, it’s been quiet over here at Basil and Oil this last week. Life (mainly sleep deprivation) caught up on me once again. I’ve been struggling with my thesis, how to fit in my gym sessions, when to socialize, when to take time for myself. It’s been busy in my life and my head.

However, I have been doing some recipe testing, for a healthy chocolate cake with a dear friend of mine! So that goodness is coming your way soon!

Also, I have been hinting at it on Twitter the past weeks… But I’ve baked something extra special for when I reach 200 followers on the blog (only 12 left! help a girl out!)! I also did this when I gained my 100th follower. Back then, I made an Autumn Coffee Cake, which if you’re living in The Netherlands is still highly applicable. Rain and wind, be gone!

I just want to bake something special, as a token of my love and appreciation for all you sweet people who find my blog worthy enough to be followed. You rock!

Finally, I have signed up for the A-Z challenge! Basically, this challenge means that in April, I will be posting every single day. Yeah, I know. Although I am thoroughly excited, there’s also a part of me that is utterly scared, seeing the fact that I am not a big star in planning and organizing. But I aim to better myself, and have already started on writing some posts. I will announce the main theme for my A-Z Challenge in the next couple of weeks, when I am a 100% sure about it!

So that’s enough about me for today.

Have a nice day and an even better weekend!
