Instructions to make Bacon Pain d'Epi:

2. Deflate the dough, re-form into a ball, and leave to rise again for another hour.
3. After the second rising, divide the dough into 4 portions. Fold up each portion and round off. If you form it into an oval shape it's easier to work with later. Cover with plastic and let rest for 15 minutes.
4. Stretch out to about the same length as a slice of bacon. Top with a slice of bacon and some coarsely ground black pepper, roll up and pinch the seam securely closed.
5. Lay a pair of kitchen scissors almost flat against the bread and snip the dough. Make the cuts quite deep so that dough spreads out a bit.

Try Using Food to Boost Your Mood

Many of us think that comfort foods are bad for us and that we need to stay away from them. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this is true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be altogether nutritious and it’s good for you to eat them. Some foods honestly do elevate your mood when you consume them. When you feel a little down and need an emotional pick-me-up, test out a few of these.

Eggs, you might be astonished to learn, are great at combating depression. Just be sure that you don’t throw away the yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the egg yolk in particular, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can genuinely help you raise your mood. This is because they help in improving the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that dictate your mood. Try to eat an egg and feel happier!

Build a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all terrific for helping to boost your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have a lot of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that directs the brain how to feel at any given moment. The more you have of it, the happier you will feel. Nuts, in addition to elevating your mood, can be a super source of protein.

Cold water fish are wonderful for eating if you want to beat back depression. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etc, they’re all chock-full of omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that actually help the grey matter in your brain function a lot better. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you fight back depression.

Grains can be good for fighting a bad mood. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all truly excellent for helping increase your happiness levels. These foods fill you up better and that can help improve your moods as well. Feeling hungry can truly bring you down! These grains can improve your mood as it’s easy for your body to digest them. You digest them more quickly than other things which can help boost your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel happier, mood wise.

Green tea is wonderful for moods. You knew it had to be mentioned in this article, right? Green tea has a lot of an amino acid known as L-theanine.
