New year, new blog post, new video - perhaps a little later than I intended it to be, but January was kind of busy. This time, I'm making a sweet bread, one of Paul's technical challenges again. It's the apricot couronne! If you've seen the Great British Baking Show Masterclass on Netflix, you might have… Continue reading GBBO – Paul’s Apricot Couronne
GBBO – Mary’s Bakewell Tart
My goal for these recipe reviews was to have one out every other week. Well, that didn't happen. Life got in the way, y'all. But we finally had a minute, so here's the second installment in my Great British Bake Off Technical challenge review series. I'm not going in any specific order with these; I'm… Continue reading GBBO – Mary’s Bakewell Tart

Father’s Day
Ever since I wrote a Mother's Day post, I have been attempting to construct one for Father's Day, but it has always seemed more difficult for me to do so.

Clean Eating Challenge, Day 2 and 3
So it didn't take long for me to skip a day to post-- I still did participate in the challenge, but I didn't have time to post yesterday. Today is a double post. Yesterday was day 2. I didn't have the overnight oatmeal, since I woke up at 2pm. I did make the Napa cabbage… Continue reading Clean Eating Challenge, Day 2 and 3
Day 1 of Clean Eating Challenge
Today, I actually embarked on the Clean Eating Challenge and all things considered, it seems to have gone well. I didn't eat the scheduled salad for lunch, since I usually only eat two meals a day. I did eat both the snacks, though. You can't go wrong with snacks. For breakfast, which I had around… Continue reading Day 1 of Clean Eating Challenge
