That's a conscious decision and one I've been considering for awhile. I still love to bake and I still want to bake. There's no one big factor that made me decide to suspend or cut back on baking but a bunch of smaller things converging to the same decision point. It's summer and it's often too hot to turn my oven on. I'm training for a half marathon and would run faster and easier if I actually did (finally) drop the last 10 pounds; something that's hard to do when I'm mainlining fat and sugar every baking weekend. It's always busy at work so it's getting more and more difficult to find both baking and blogging time. And after almost 6 years of blogging, I'm losing inspiration on new things to bake and feel like I've been in a rut on my blog for awhile.
Therefore, I decided to still keep my blog up but focus more on local food places. If you don't live in the Bay Area, that might not be interesting to you unless you plan to visit here someday. But I hope it'll still have wider appeal than that by reminding people to try out different places in their local areas. I'm a big believer in supporting local small businesses and that's where I try to spend most of my dollars. So I'm going to write more about them and hope others support them too.
And you never know when I will bake something new and blog about it. I'll also try to curate some of my more popular recipes once in awhile so you all have easy access to the top recipes for chocolate chip cookies, snickerdoodles, brownies, cupcakes, cakes and so on, especially for holidays and other peak baking times.
