The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the kitchen, a smell that transported her to a place of comfort. Mia’s culinary creations were going to be appreciated, because her teacher, Chef Ricardo, was now following her on Pinterest!

She immediately began planning her next project, her heart full of contentment.
