I’m officially over winter.

I know a lot of people say that, but I think today I truly am. It may be because I’m tired of constantly scraping salt off my boots, my work pants and even our hardwood floor. I’ve lost count at how many times I’ve managed to misplace my mitts, hat and scarf at any given moment. And I’m still not too thrilled that it’s dark outside before 6pm.

But it’s almost the end of February and I swear, it’s like a light at the end of the tunnel. Spring is coming.

Welcome to the new layout for She Bakes Here!

For the last couple of months, I’ve been working with the brilliant and talented Lindsay over at Purr Design to help make the scary leap from Blogger to a self-hosted WordPress site. Not only did she transfer every single file and comment, she also helped streamline my recipe index and made my recipes much more printer and user friendly. You can even like, tweet and pin each post! After being stuck with the limitations of Blogger for the last 2 1/2 years, I’m pretty much leaping with joy over the amount of freedom I now have. The popular post listing on the side bar? All Lindsay. The fact that my tweets show up again on the blog? All Lindsay again! (PS: I plan on tweeting more, I promise!)

So have a look around and let me know what to think of the new look. I’m still in the process of formatting each and every of my almost 200 posts, but if anything doesn’t work, feel free to pop me an email or comment.

In the meantime, I have a special recipe to share. Special for you because its delicious and you don’t have to turn on your oven to make it, special for me because it’s part of a fun memory I have with one of my closest friends.

A couple days ago, I decided to take advantage of Trevor’s work benefits and went for a massage. This was my first time going to a registered massage therapist and the only way I could describe the experience was pure…..bliss….. Why we’ve never used this part of his benefits is beyond me and now I’m going to find a way to incorporate this regularly.

Originally I went because I was having issues with my lower back, but the most alarming thing was having her discover how much tension exists in my neck. I was also told that there was more tension in the left side of my body than my right, which makes sense because I have a tendency to lean to one side in my office chair which is a big no-no.

A couple weeks ago, Trevor had a confession for me – he had never eaten a s’more before. When I heard this, my childhood wept for him. I have fond memories of camping with my family across Canada in my youth. Besides the joy of eating outside with the mosquitoes and getting lost in the memorizing spell that is watching a log crinkle and burn over the spitting bonfire at night, roasting marshmallows on sticks and squishing them between stale graham crackers and a smidgen of pure milk chocolate was my favourite camping activity.
