The Christmas holidays got the best of me and I did not have much time to get on and post. My New Years Resolution is to be a better, more consistent blogger. I hope to post at minimum twice a week.
Christmas was a busy time. Between working, doing daycare, baking, shopping, having five (!) different Christmases, and shovelling lots and lots of snow, I was glad when New Years came and everything wound down.
My favourite present this year was my Kitchenaid stand mixer. I broke it in on Christmas morning by beating my eggs in it! Isn't she pretty?
I pretty much had a kitchen Christmas, but I am absolutely okay with that.
I will be doing a post on a new tradition that we brought in this year, Elf on the Shelf. It was so much fun, and the kids loved it! I am forewarning you that that will be a picture heavy post.
My mixer has been getting a lot of use. I am happy to say that I conquered my fear of yeast, and have made bread, and cinnamon buns, and currently have dough for crusty buns rising. I always had this fear of doing something wrong and the dough not rising, and the amount of work that seemed to go in to bread making.
These are my first attempts at bread, I think they turned out great, and it is almost gone already, so I know it tastes good!
I think that is about all for now. How was your holiday season?
