well. I’ve been absent from this blog for quite some time.

I’d forgotten just how much life changes in the first year of a baby’s life - hour to hour, day to day, week to week. And in addition to the new addition, I’ve recently taken on a new role at work which has me working a lot more.

All of which is to say that I have unfortunately been spending far less time in the kitchen, and that we’ve reverted to the quick and easy staples of pasta, rice, beans, lentils, and anything that you can cook in a crockpot.

But, while our eating isn’t all that exciting all the time, we’re still eating home cooked meals, and the time we don’t spend in the kitchen is spent with each other and with people we love, which is the point, isn’t it?

I hope to make a return to this blog with increasing frequency as the baby gets older and my time is a bit less taxed, but it is likely to be a while before that happens.
