I hope so because there are some yummy things to look forward to from Evolving Mommy in 2010.
I like to cook. Am I a good cook? Well, mostly I would say that I am blessed to have a husband that gladly eats anything I put in front of him, but sometimes we hit recipe gold in the Evolving Mommy house and I love to share it with you.
Because really, what good is gold if you can't show it off? What does this have to do with the year to come? Well, you can definitely expect to continue to see Monday Yumday, in your readers, and inboxes.
On top of Monday Yumday, there is going to be a new recipe feature in town. Every week we, the Evolving Mommy Family, will be trying a new bread recipe each week. I have been making my family's bread for close to two years. In that time I have found my way into a bread baking rut. But why stay in that rut?
2010 is hopefully a year of forcing myself out of my comfort zones and this is no different. We are not picky, I have just become lazy making the same few bread over and over because of ingredients, time and previous knowledge of the recipe.
Why not flood our house with dozens of new recipes, techniques, flavors, and textures? Why not think of bread as more than part of a sandwich, toast, or as a side for a bowl of pasta? Why not challenge myself with bread?
Since these will be new recipes to us we'll be sharing our thoughts about the each one from the taste, to the amount of work it took to the things I learned while baking it. Not a typical bloggers approach to recipes or typical recipe posts I know. Yet I also know that baking bread can be pretty intimidating and I am hoping that watching me stumble my way through a wide variety of breads from quick breads and yeast breads, to flat breads and rolls, will help inspire you to get in the kitchen and bake up some bread of your own.
So are there any breads that you think I should take on in the next 51 weeks? I have been building a list but I would love to hear your suggestions too.
Let the baking begin!

5 share your thoughts with me:
Please master a good crispy french boule, then maybe a sourdough and then a granary bread. That should start you off. I have more breads I need you to master for when you are ready.
I knew you would have some suggestions for me!
Looking forward to it! Zucchini bread is my favorite. I have an awesome recipe (that may be on my blog) if you want to try it as part of your challenge.
Can I please move in?
okay, i am behind on this, but i love the idea of the bread baking challenge.
i do okay with the cakey type breads... banana bread, etc, and i have made some muffins that people would actually want to eat.
here's where it gets tricky for me... yeast. rising breads. i tried to help moody make some sort of celebratory bread for dia de los muertos (some holiday he learned about in spanish) and it didn't rise at all. i even tried a second time.
so anyway, good luck and let the games begin!
