Rainbow Bread again and some thoughts

So for my real job I have been assigned the task to browse over 1000 "mommy-blog" sites. This includes many of the lovely recipe sites I have been stumbling upon (not via that site...) like Annie Eats. As I have done this I have realized a number of things.
1) My website not only suffers from my infrequent posting, but is generally inadequate in a whole host of other ways
2) I have zero following and continuing to post to no follows seems...wasteful? superfluous? other more self-deprecating things
3) My food photos are mostly NOT GOOD

Now out of these three things I really could work on fixing all of them. I could post more and redesign the site format. I have signed up for twitter and google plus, and my facebook page was getting some more traffic in January, so I could push harder for a larger following. And finally, and the point of this long winded, self absorbed post is I can re-shoot the stuff that I happily made when all this started (and make frequently, but don't post about because repeat posts are boring) with my new (it's a year old now, is it really still new?) fancy camera.

Sooooo....my most popular post is Rainbow Bread. It has been pinterested a few times. Here is a MUCH better photographed version.

I followed the KitchenAid recipe for white bread. Before I let it rise I cut it into six equal parts and colored them. I later rolled each piece out, piled them on top of each other and twisted into a loaf. Presto- fun bread!


I see a heart here:
