Relishments Bakes Results: Social Distance Baking

Published on April 1, 2020 By Emily. Updated on April 1, 2020

Nearly every month since the inception of Relishments Bakes, I’ve started with high hopes, found myself baking in the final days of the month and then struggled to get posts up in a timely manner.

This month was very different. But that’s to be expected. Life is not normal for anyone right now.

I managed to bake 5 different things since posting this month’s challenge, 2 weeks ago. It’s amazing what staying home all the time will do for a person.

Drop biscuits from Everybody Loves Sandwiches – I’ve made some variation of these biscuits so many times over the years. They’re super simple to make, easy to double the recipe and take well to variations. I generally serve them with soup.

Peasant Loaves from Artisan Bread in 5 – You know I love these loaves. Recently, even finding 5 minutes to make bread each day had seemed like a lot, but being home helped me get bread back in the rotation.

classic Peanut Butter Blossoms from Hershey’s – I’ll be honest: I bought these Hershey Kisses in the fall with the intent of making peanut butter blossoms as Christmas cookies. But then I had a baby instead. It was nice to finally get these done and they were very much enjoyed.

This cornbread from Binging with Babish made my list of favorite 2019 recipes and Brian made it again this month. It’s still incredible and I’m sure we’ll have it again soon.

The recipe I most wanted to tackle in March was this Earl Grey Yogurt Cake from Molly Baz at Bon Appetit. It’s not a difficult recipe and it totally met my expectations. I have a lot of other baking I want to do, but I’ll definitely return to this loaf when I get a chance.

Stay tuned for a new challenge soon!

In typical 2020 fashion, I had all kinds of issues getting my Top 9 created this year and this image still has problems. 
But the images are accurate and nicely summarize the year - take out from local establishments (@aokberkshirebbq, @thebreakroomgw, @northadamsfarmersmarket), #RelishmentsBakes projects, the natural beauty of the Berkshires and our successful container garden.

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
