Regular readers! Hello! It’s been a hot minute since I had a recipe to share due to a tumultuous summer and many new life developments. One of my newest adventures is pursuing the tutelage of English as a foreign language. I’m taking a series of online seminars to learn pedagogy and, specifically, how to teach

I have been working on this recipe for about a month trying to get it just right. It’s been through half a dozen iterations with little tweaks each time and, finally, I think I’ve got it just right. They’re sweet, tender, sturdy, lemony, and taste like a spring day in the garden! My hockey team

This recipe is both a tasty treat for snackers of all ages and a tummy soother. As I mentioned last week, I’ve been going through some disordered eating issues, and one of the most common complications I face is nausea. Like. Constant nausea.

First and foremost: Sorry about the hiatus. I’ve been battling some mental health struggles and working myself to the bone trying to finish my backyard landscaping in time to get my onions, beans, peas, etc. in the ground in time. I’m still here! I just miscalculated how much of a backlog of posts I had
