Blog Post: Back to the Kitchen, Back to Myself

Happy New Year and welcome back to my corner of the internet.

Yes, I know... it's April. And yes, I’ve been quiet for a while.

I had big plans for a Christmas bake-a-thon. Recipes were outlined, photos staged in my mind, and I was ready to share a sweet little tradition. But after the first post... nothing. I disappeared from the blog.

Not because I stopped baking, but because life got heavy, and I didn’t have the energy to write through it. And to be honest, I felt embarrassed. It seemed like just another thing I didn’t finish. But at some point, I had to stop beating myself up and just... move forward.

This space has always been more than recipes. It’s where I process, reflect, and reconnect with myself through flour, sugar, browned butter, and soul. And sometimes, I need to step back before I can pour out again.

So here I am, easing back into it. Not to make up for what I missed, but to grow from it. We spend so much time regretting yesterday that we forget we can choose differently today.

In my very first post, I said this blog would be about baking. That’s still true. But it’s also about what baking teaches me about patience, failure, starting over, and everything in between.

If you’re still here, thank you. If you’re just joining, welcome. Either way, I hope something here makes you feel seen, comforted, or maybe just hungry enough to try a recipe.

I’ll be checking in once a week, just me and my baking besties talking about life, cookies, lessons, and everything that goes along with it.

It won’t always be perfect, but it’ll always be real. And hopefully, a little sweet too.

With Love,

Lady B.
