strawberry summer cake
lemon raspberry marmalade jammers.

After six months of so of strict paleo eating and several months of non-Paleo and non-sugar eating, I am fully back in the baking way. I happily spend several days a week baking items for Kenneth and I to eat through our days. Sometimes it's scones for breakfast or a loaf of cheddar chive bread to dip in our soup (that was good). Recently it's been biscuits and jammers, both items you get to use a cup to punch out perfect round shapes!

 We also eat a lot of "real" food: chicken, pork, beef, roasted veggies, and plenty of salads. I do enjoy discovering a new recipe to make for lunch or dinner. But there is something so magical about baking. I love breaking out the flour and sprinkling it over the kitchen counter. I love the measuring cups and spoons and experimenting with ingredients. I love how great it feels when one thing comes out of the oven just as the next is ready for its turn. So, while I miss how skinny and how energized I was on Paleo, I am firmly Team Flour and born-again believer in homemade baked goods.
