It's Friday, which means that it's time for our new weekly roundup of links we love. This week, bread is on the brain. Pop a slice in the toaster, pour a cup of coffee, and take this weekend to become the bread-baking master you always wanted to be.

It's Friday, which means (drumroll, please) that it's time for our new weekly roundup of links we love. This post is dedicated to DIY projects for the long weekend ahead. (We also just really really like making things.) Pull up a chair, pour some tea, and see what we've been reading this past week.

Breakfast can be underrated -- or, more often than not, forgotten about altogether in exchange for getting to work on time. But today, we're giving breakfast -- the most important meal of the day! -- the VIP treatment with this question:

If time wasn't a factor, what is the one breakfast that would make your weekday mornings a little better?

The New Year may bring resolutions for you -- more kale, less sugar, earlier bedtimes -- or it may be just a new month, a different date. Regardless, you're probably prone to reaching for a new slew of favorite foods, either to keep you warm in the winter cold, or to bring you luck in the clean-slate months ahead. This week, we're talking about our January go-tos when we answer the question: 

What is the first food you turn to in the New Year? Black-eyed peas? Still not finished with Christmas cookies?

By now, we've seen gift guide after gift guide (we've even built one of our own, but who's counting?). We're certainly not adverse to presents -- we're normal, after all -- but we're growing a bit tired of gifty roundups, all perfect and packaged and full of things. What's the cure for a few week's worth of gifting overdrive?

Animated pictures, of course.

For this week's Too Many Cooks, we'll be running a Holiday GIF Guide. Let's see your holiday best. 

And now, we'll let the fun develop on its own.

In a way, holidays are a little like fried eggs. Everybody does them differently -- they're personal, and that's the beauty of them. Whether it's nog on Christmas Eve or a special holiday breakfast, everyone has something they do every year. And so, today, we're answering the question: 

What's your favorite holiday food tradition?

We hope your batches of Holiday Cut-Out Cookies are well on their neatly-packaged ways to friends and family far and wide, but we're sure you didn't stop there. This is full-on holiday cookie crackdown mode. Get your baking sheets out, and switch up this year's cookie roster, because we're answering the question: 

What is your favorite holiday cookie? Here's the twist: if someone already claimed your cookie, it is no longer eligible to be your favorite. 

Let the creativity ensue. 

This week marks an important moment for our community and for our company.
