The problem with daily writing is finding something worthy of writing…….every day. I actually have a list of stories but today I am just not feeling it. Do you ever get like this? Set goals and regret setting them….kind of… 😉

So, what do I write about today?

Let’s talk cooking.

I love it so much and yet do not do an excellent job of time management and many nights we have some thrown together meal. The meals are fine. They are better than the past meals of cereal  and oatmeal many nights in a row. We will not talk about the fact that the kids did have cereal tonight for dinner though.

I am also a wanna be baker. I want to be the grandmother who can just whip together some biscuits without the use of recipe. I made these here in the picture….. 100 years ago and totally with an easy recipe. I think it is called a drop biscuit. Even with it being so easy, I still only made it the one time.

I want to make pies and such because we went to the orchard and have more fruit than we need. This is in fact an example. We have not done this 😉 ….yet, maybe this is a 2020 goal. I also want abs but that is a whole other post soooooo. Also a 2020 goal?? Hahaha, this goal has been pushed back for many years now.

 I don’t get frustrated that I can’t do the baking yet. I do get frustrated though at not even practicing what I want. I am fully in charge of this ability and learning this skill and yet week by week goes by and I am still a wanna be baker. I have yet to practice making any of these things. To be honest, I think a huge thing holding me back is that the common recipes are not gluten free. I have a super easy bread recipe. It takes all of 5 mins to get it in the bread machine. I have done it once. I want to make it each week but I have nothing to eat and this alone leaves me in this weird balance of make it only for the kids or try and find something we all like.

Do you have things in your life that you desire to do or learn? What holds you back from doing it? Maybe we can all agree to try one of our goals now and hit the ground running for 2020. I won’t even pretend that I am going to make something from scratch this week. We have already talked about my anniversary coming up and we can’t forget Halloween on Thursday. Soooooo, next week I am gently setting myself a goal to bake something from scratch. What do you think you might do?
