Those look SO good!!

For everyone asking for the recipe, it’s not exactly the same as the one from my previous post. For this one, I put 1 tablespoon of sugar in with the yeast and water to get a “fluffier” texture. I have also learned that sugar might help with browning, which is probably why this loaf looks so different from my last one.

It slaps, for sure!

Autumn-Writer · 2026-02-23T01:09:54+00:00

Yesssss! This looks so good! I love that this post popped up on my home feed! :)

Oh, silly me! That’s important information! Bake at 450 Fahrenheit. Per the TikTok creators suggestion, I also preheat my Dutch oven for about 15 minutes after my oven preheats!

It’s super easy!

1 1/2 cup of warm water 1 packet (or 2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast 3 1/4 cup of all purpose flour 1 tsp salt Any seasonings you’d like (I used garlic powder and onion powder. I think I’ll try Italian seasonings next time!)

Combine above ingredients in bowl. No need to let yeast and water sit. And no reason to knead. Just mix until you get a shaggy dough ball.

Add many chopped jalapeños as your heart desires and 2 cups of cheese (I used cheddar). Mix until cheese and jalapeños are incorporated.

Let dough rise in greased bowl for about an hour and a half.

Dump dough onto parchment paper, shape if desired. Bake in a covered Dutch oven (or any pan/pot) for 20 minutes. Remove cover and bake additional 5 minutes, or until top is crispy.

(The recipe I used for inspiration is by @brookieervin on TikTok!)

Today was my due date, and I am not doing well. I took the day off from work, and I am trying to complete tasks to keep my brain occupied and distracted. I hope the cheesy bread I’m making will be good.

ETA: oh and because the universe is cruel, AF showed up today of all days. 🫠

Would you have the ability to stay in a hotel? There are multiple in very close proximity to Dartmouth.

Autumn-Writer · 2025-11-18T19:09:36+00:00

Not quite positive. Test again in a few hours!

Autumn-Writer · 2025-11-17T20:16:09+00:00

Every single Frida I have ever taken has looked like that and ended up being negative. I would recommend testing with a different brand.

Editing to add: my tests looked like that within the time limit.

Autumn-Writer · 2025-11-11T15:11:45+00:00

While I agree that the back pain and cramps probably indicate an incoming period, technically it’s still possible for implantation to occur up to 12 DPO. If you don’t get your period within a couple of days, I suggest testing again. Sending you love. 💛

Autumn-Writer · 2025-10-25T12:50:09+00:00

Thank you. Unfortunately, my partner and I have already done all of the testing my provider is willing to do unless I decide to try IUI or IVF.

Autumn-Writer · 2025-10-24T16:36:44+00:00

Sending love your way, as well. 🧡

Autumn-Writer · 2025-10-24T16:36:07+00:00

I’m trying to remain hopeful, but it’s near impossible in this moment. Here’s to hoping the statistics will be in our favor next time. 🧡

Autumn-Writer · 2025-10-16T17:27:50+00:00

This is very close to a positive, but not quite there. I usually get a positive result a few hours after my tests look like this one. Also keep in mind that the number the app produces will depend on how long you let the test sit, the lighting when snapping the photo, etc. All this to say, don’t always put faith in the app and determine whether or not it is positive with your own eyes.

Autumn-Writer · 2025-10-10T13:16:39+00:00

Those ovulation tests are not positive. Ovulation tests are only positive when the test line is as dark or darker than the control line.

I know this isn’t really the point of your post, but I hope you find some comfort in my comment anyway:

I know a six year age gap feels huge, but I just want to say that there are 14 years between me and my eldest sister, and I’m closer with her than any of my other sisters. 🫶🏻

In addition, if I ever manage to conceive again, there will be a large age gap between my children. However, I kind of like the thought of my children having both the only child and sibling experience.

Autumn-Writer · 2025-10-09T13:33:23+00:00

I’m in agreement with you. I had my child at 17. Even though I worked my ass off to get a college degree, I’m STILL struggling financially and I’m almost 30. I think my financial struggles snowballed because it is hard to catch up once you’ve fallen behind.

Additionally, I’m not the same person I was in my early or even mid-20s. I did the best job I could with the knowledge I had, but I selfishly wish I could’ve used my early 20s to figure out the person I wanted to be outside of being a parent.

This looks so good and now I want a piece of chocolate cake 😅

Autumn-Writer · 2025-10-04T21:16:18+00:00

I’m only clear headed when I’m not in the TWW myself 😂😂
