Hey there!

It's been a really long time since I wrote on this blog. 

Lots of stuff has happened in the last (cough) 5 years. Moving - having a baby (now a 3 year old!) - changing jobs - spouse changing jobs. Baking and writing took a backseat amongst all the changes. 

January brought a resolution that has pushed me to get back in gear with baking and to write. I hate calling it a resolution - it's more of a commitment to myself to try something new. A couple of years ago, the resolution was to become good at making pie dough, since that had always been something I avoided for risk of failure. Result? I now make an amazing all-butter pie dough, and have made lots of pies. So this is not your typical "lose 10 pounds" or "exercise more" resolution. No, this is one I'll actually keep. 

Anyway, the resolution this year is to make lots and lots of bread. Thanks to an amazing workshop with a colleague, I felt I could finally get bread. Previous bread attempts failed, likely due to lack of kneading enough, or old yeast, and I had put it away as a thing I could do. This year, armed with my new learning, was going to be about bread. 

So far, it has been. I am blowing through flour at an astonishing rate, and my son has eaten his favourite breakfast (as he says, toast with cinnamon sugar and butter) on bread I have made since the start of the year. Success! 

And with that, here goes. No promises on how much I'm posting, though.
