happy friday & beating the creativity block.

{banana nut bread donuts}

i like to try to make a new recipe or two or three every week.  it keeps me on my toes & keeps baking fun.  but with the super busy-ness lately, my creativity has hit a low.  when you're pressed for time, it's a lot easier to just make things you know how to make.  so this week i promised myself i would get creative & make some fun new things.


for some ridiculous reason, i chose to make them all in one day!  that was silly.  i thought each was going to fail at one point or another, but, praise God, they all turned out!  awoohoo!

oh yeah, & i got to bake focaccia this week too, which really is a fun challenge each & every time.  monday - not very good, definitely over proofed.  the day i was trying three new recipes - i was pretty sure i had ruined it from the get go, but it shockingly turned out excellent.  clearly my understanding of the dough was wrong.  time number three, another success.  phwew!

when given the opportunity.
it's amazing.}

happy friday, y'all!

love love,
