… Bueller?

 I know.  You don’t even have to say it.  I know.

So it’s been a while, eh?  I don’t know about you, but a lot’s happened for me since the last time I posted.  ages ago…  I’ve been doing a lot of thinking since then, facing major bouts of baker’s block, and feeling a lot of disonance in my cullinary life.  On the one hand, I really missed baking delectable creations that people would drool over.  On the other hand, I was trying to do the “healthy” thing, and the last thing I needed was a triple chocolate mousse torte hanging around the kitchen of my two person home! 

 

So I took a break.  A hiatus if you will.

 

I also started trying to eat better, although not cutting out all of the “fun”.

 

I cut off all my hair.

 

I ran a half marathon.

 

I went to the doctor for a check up.

 

All good things!!  And yet, for some reason, I felt I could not do both.  I could not do the “health” thing, and still have a fun cooking and baking blog with recipes that people would actually want to use.  I no longer wanted all of my recipes to have butter as their primary (and sometimes only…) ingredient, but I also didn’t want to try to create the “70 calorie turkey dinner comprised of tofu and lentils that tastes just like the REAL THING!!” because that’s just gross.

But Krissy’s been in the kitchen this whole time.  Making things.  Not a lot of desserts and baked goods.  But still, pretty good stuff.  Vegetarian stuff, simple stuff, but still good stuff.  So I want to try again.  Try to keep tis blog active.  I’m going to blog when I feel I have something worthwhile to share.  I don’t want to make food for the sake of blogging it, I want to make food for the sake of eating it!!  I want to make food that tastes good, but still fuels my body in the right way.

I don’t know what this blog is going to become, or if it’s even going to become anything.  I’m just going to write about my life, and the major components of it which I find enjoyable.  Food.  Family.  Running (sometimes). 

So, here goes nothing.  Again.
