Hi World, say hello to my latest confection - baby buns, or sweetie pie, as we like to call our girls. Yes, number 3 is sugar and spice and everything nice, and she's been all the baking I have managed to do well for the past few months. Mainly because morning sickness and baking are not complementary. My one attempt at baking during the first 16 weeks did NOT go well. For some reason I decided on making a souffle cheesecake. I ended up running away from my baking every few minutes to gag/upchuck because, well, cheese does that to you when you are nauseous. I haven't had cheese since then. And I am only slowly starting to try chocolate desserts again. Isn't it strange how pregnancy messes up your taste buds?
Thankfully, the dreaded nausea ended after 16 weeks. And at 21 weeks now, my energy levels are starting to rise slowly again. More importantly, I am finally getting round to the idea of desserts again. Which means I might get round to posting about them again soon. Provided I can get over this inexplicable urge to spring clean every corner of my house. Another side effect of pregnancy. Oh well.
In the meantime, if you are still reading, drop me a line. Tell me what awesome desserts you have been eating. Inspire me.
And oh, by the way, a Blessed Christmas and Jolly New Year to all! May you have an abundance of meals this year that will be memorable because they are prepared and shared with love, and with those you love.
And may you (and I) also not have to eat turkey leftovers into the New Year.
