Another Important Post

These past few months with my blog have been a blast. I have come so far from when I started and everyone who knows me, can tell that I am at my happiest when I am typing a new post. However, reality can be a little demon and at this time, I have to face it.

Oh, wait.

Are all thinking what I think you're thinking? That I am announcing the end of my blog? Wouldn't that be a silly thing to do! Of course I'm not shutting down my blog; I still have so much more to do, so many different recipes to try, and yes, I still have to set off the smoke alarm. However, there is a matter at hand that I definitely need to discuss. If you haven't already guessed it, what I am referring to is $$$; those little green pieces of paper/fabric that hold so much significance in today's society. As I have mentioned countless times before, I am a college student who has to manage my baking along with academics, clubs, and my attempts to not go insane. But lets face it, how am I supposed to continuing baking if each trip to the supermarket includes at $50+ bill? Its not viable and to be honest, its starting to affect my bank account. With that said, lets face another truth: I will not be able to bake 500 different recipes over the course of 500 days. If I want to keep my dreams of spending my spring break hiking in Utah and studying abroad for the summer, I need to take a step back and asses what I need to do. But here is the good news: I am not one to readily throw in the towel. I will continue baking and blogging, that is certainly not going to change. I will still bake one recipe, maybe two a week, but those days of four recipes in one go are over. My poor bank account cannot withstand something like that again. Considering all the support I have at school and at home, I think it would be silly of me to just walk away. True, I wasn't very competitive when I ran cross country in high school, but now I am determined to not admit defeat. Besides, clearly yesterday when I asked my mom what the difference was between slicing and dicing is enough of a justification to prove that I still have a lot to learn. 

With that said, I have decided to ask you, my dear readers, what recipes you would like to see me take on next. With the exception of vegan mint chocolate cupcakes (I am saving that one for a very special occasion), I am pretty much up to trying anything. However, please keep in mind the costs of the ingredients. Other then that, I look forward to seeing that you all suggest; even if only one person actually posts a suggestion :P

Sorry I don't have pictures for this post, but I have been pretty busy.

Until next time,

Jill
