There's been a rise in anxiety baking

Last winter, a recipe for salted chocolate-chunk shortbread cookies spread through my social circle like a carbohydrate epidemic. One of my friends kept seeing the cookies pop up on Instagram and, relenting to digital peer pressure, eventually made them. She brought half the batch to a dinner party, and then it was off to the races. For months, it felt as if every time I showed up to a party, someone else was pulling a Tupperware container out of a tote bag, full of what was eventually known among us as just The Cookies.

Just remember,
Baking might be mentally healthy -- but it produces a lot of unhealthy food you shouldn't eat. If you can figure out how to make ancient style bread -- I'd give it the thumbs up.
Otherwise, there's nothing like fresh homemade sourdough all the time to put on the pounds.
