2021: Most Popular Posts on Bunsen Burner Bakery
Happy New Year’s (Eve)! Another year, come and gone – and boy what a different year it was than we all expected!
I always like doing these little year end recaps. It’s a great reminder of my older recipes that are still doing great, and the perfect way to think about what kind of new recipes to create and share for the brand new year ahead.
All in all, 2021 was a slow year for me in terms of new content. My actual career (as a scientist) always comes first, of course, and thanks to a Peloton/Power Zone addiction, I certainly spent more time exercising this year than any other year of my life.
Whereas I used to use my evenings after the kids went to bed to bake and write posts, this year I mostly spent those hours riding the bike or taking yoga and strength classes.
It’s certainly better for me in the long run, but I missed having the time to work on recipes and hope to carve more time out for it in 2022!
I’d also like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all of you who are Bunsen Burner Bakery readers. Despite minimal new posts, traffic kept rolling in and I’m so thankful you’re here.
I continue to donate half of my advertising income to non-profits and getting to have a hobby I love that also allows me to give back to organizations that matter is truly a dream come true!
So thank you, thank you — after the past two years we’ve had, hopefully third time is the charm when I say: have a GREAT new year!
