Mindful Diaries: Quietly Unexpected Day ❄️

A slow day at home, getting ready for winter — hand-washing clothes, baking a peach tart, making simple appetizers, and sharing quiet moments with my son.

We start the day by baking chocolate croissants, folding fresh laundry, and preparing small winter treats. This video is about embracing calm routines, finding beauty in simple tasks, and welcoming the winter season with warmth and mindfulness.

RECIPES

🥧 PEACH TART

Dough:
1 large egg
½ cup unsalted butter, melted (110 g)
2⅓–2¾ cups all-purpose flour (300–350 g)

Filling:
1 can peaches, drained

½ tsp orange extract
sugar to taste
Melt the butter and mix with the egg and flour. The dough should be soft and not sticky.
Mix all filling ingredients; reserve a few peach slices for topping.
Grease a baking dish: sprinkle dough crumbs, add the filling, top with a little more dough and peach slices. Bake at 350°F (≈180°C) for 1 hour. Let cool.

Note: Peaches can be replaced with pears, apples, or oranges.
