A short list of the saints we “encountered” during our week in Scotland.

Irish Saints
My Lenten promise this year was to learn about the saints we encountered while travelling – this is part 1.
Bake Off Binge (part 1/2)
The Great British Bake Off ended last week – and I’ve only seen one episode! In order to avoid spoilers but also take part, I’ve limited my updates to the weekly themes so I could still bake, and buy, along.
Our First Year
Is it just me, or has this past year gone really fast!? Happy anniversary, Tim!
A Showstopping Final
Wow. What a year! I know that every year Paul always says, “These are the best bakers we’ve had in the tent,” but I think this year it was true for the final.
A Cake to Celebrate
The cake. The reason you’re all here. We’re backpedaling a couple weeks on GBBO for this one. I missed baking along for Free From Week since I was sick with COVID, so I’m making up for it now.
Éclairs Minus the Elegance
It’s pâtisserie week! This one is always a favourite, just behind bread week. I’m always impressed by what the bakers come up with, from flavors to textures to presentation, not to mention that French bakes are notoriously hard.
Stacks of Shortbread
I like my caramel, don’t get me wrong, but when I found out it was caramel week, I was less than excited.
Apple of my Eye
Pastry week this week. And to be honest, it’s not my strength. BUT this apple blackberry pie is probably one of my best pastry bakes so far.
An Easy Bake for a Hard Week
Before we go any further: German week, the theme of Friday’s new GBBO episode. As I mentioned last week, after I finished my trial-and-error dessert week bake, I found an easy way out for this.
