And an update

I will be taking a short content break in early January (I posted about this on my Instagram page, too). I have some back end technical issues to address and improvements to make so that my site can run faster and more smoothly. I have been putting this off for months. But I mustn’t postpone it any longer! I have also been feeling a bit burnt out (I run a one woman show here and sometimes I just get exhausted from doing it all) and my heart has been telling me to take a bit of time off to recharge my creative juices! Just know that when the blog goes silent for a few weeks, I am okay and will be back! 🙂 I have a strong suspicion that I will miss publishing new recipes too much! As my dad likes to say, “You can’t keep the paintbrush out of the artist’s hand for too long!”

Happy New Year, friends!
