Hello, friends!

Thank you for joining us for another Joy the Baker Podcast.  We’re well into April and we’re not talking about tax season or Easter brunch.  Let’s talk about ghosts, blog burnout, and The Godfather.

My neighbors tell me there’s a ghost in our house.  I’m hoping she’s friendly.  So far so good.  If I see her I’m going to full-on FREAK OUT!  Tracy thinks I should talk to her.  Do screams count as talking?  I didn’t think so.

Let’s just be real… sometimes Tracy and I get a strong case of blog burnout!  It’s a real thing.   Always creating new content can be a challenge.  We’re totally up for it, but sometimes the process takes more wine an encouragement that we’d like to admit.  Ebb and flow.  Ebb and flow.

Have you taken a look at Statigram?  It will give you all sorts of statistics about your Instagram account, including who has unfollower you.  Tracy has some real-time experience with this.

Carry on Carry on!

“Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.” – The Godfather. 

We are quickly approaching wedding season.  That means it’s time to buy gifts!  I love this New York Times 36 Hours Book about weekend travels.  It’s a sweet gift for a newlywed couple.

Working in the kitchen takes a lot of practice!  Even going to the grocery store takes a bit of traffic!  Go easy on yourself.  Ask your mama for help.  Make a roast chicken and maybe some chicken stock too!

Try Tracy’s Flat Roasted Chicken! Smashed Potatoes would also be totally amazing.

Don’t fret too much!  Just master one recipe at a time!

Homemade Chicken Stock is really simple and such a wonderful way to teach yourself to use the whole dang chicken.

Thank you so much for joining us for another podcast!  It really does mean so much to us that you’re here and you listen!
