A Birthday and A Knife Set GIVEAWAY!

by Jamie
This Giveaway is now closed. 

Two years ago…

on this very day. 
I started stock piling recipes onto this little blogspot of mine. 
I had NO idea what I was doing…
the Internet is a tricky beast to maneuver you know!
What with HTM…L? is it?
And hyperlinks and social media and page ranks and how do I even add a link to a post and what about making a little money and
how do you make a food blog work and 
how do I make my pictures more appealing and 
who can I tell about my blog and
will people use it and 
will people like it 
…and all of that kind of stuff was 
tumbling around through my noggin for a good long while.
Still is, if you want to know the truth! 
 

And now, with two years under my belt
I feel like I have learned a thing or two, 
maybe even two and a half!

And I’ve come to the realization that there are a few things about this food blogging business that I know, for sure.
Here they are. 


love
writing 
this 
blog.
I love cooking for this blog.
I love thinking about what to cook.
I love that you show up to read it!
I love to hear about your cooking successes!  

And the VERY most important thing I’ve learned?
This blog would be pretty lame with out you. 
Seriously. 
It would just be a lonely old corner for me and my butter and sugar.
And so today I wanted to say…
Thanks.
Thanks a bunch for reading this blog of mine, and for trying these recipes and for saying hello to me at the grocery store and for telling your sister about my site and for bearing with an occasional mis-spelled word and for leaving a little comment love and 
for just being so all around great. 

You’ve made it possible for me to have a job that I love. 
And in this day and age…
loving the job you have
is a luxury one should never take for granted.

To show my appreciation…I bought some knives for you. 
Ok, not really for all of you.
If I had Oprah’s bank account….I would!
 
But for TWO of you!
This is the knife set that I use everyday in my kitchen. 
I love it to pieces…don’t know what I’d do without it. 
It may not be the most glamorous of knife sets…
but it makes cutting and cooking in the kitchen
a whole lot easier. 
To enter this giveaway…I’m hoping you’ll give me a little feedback. 
All you have to do is tell me what you’d like to see more of on this site. More Easy Dinner Recipes, Bread Recipes, Dessert Recipes, Cookie Recipes, Side Dishes, Salad Recipes, Potluck Dishes, Cute Recipes, Soup Recipes, Recipes for Kids….
whatever you would like to see more of….
I’d sure like to hear about it. 
Please leave your email address 
with your comment.
The Giveaway will be open until Thursday at midnight, 
two lucky winners to be announced on Friday morning.


Thanks for dropping by,
I love ya to pieces
and have a great day!

PS….next week I’ll be posting a new recipe every day.
I’ve got a lot of great things in store for you!
Hope to see you then. 
🙂  🙂  🙂

The recipes I look for the most are ones that use common items from the fridge or pantry, since “weird” items my kids will not eat.

While your recipes are amazing, I love the fact that you are teaching me HOW to cook. More tips and tricks please. How about a post titled, “What I learned working at the Lion House.” ? I also love your recipes that imitate restaurant recipes like Cafe Rio Rice, Red Lobster Biscuits, Sarah's Salad, and Olive Garden Dressing.

Well, I'm already loving everything you post….seriously. I just look at the photos on the side and nod at every dish…lol. You've actually interested me in wanting to eat green foods…and I am about to be 32. That's quite a huge and amazing feat. I'd love more kid friendly recipes, and of course continued ways to make veggies edible. I am forever thankful for having found this blog…and my family is too!

I'm new to your blog and I immediately fell in love with it! I love that you post your monthly menus, and would enjoy seeing more blogs about how you keep yourself organized as a homemaker. Things like how you organize your grocery shopping trip, do you keep a homemaking notebook, etc. Just what keeps your family functioning. 🙂

I love your site! I've referred many friends to it. What I would like to see is more complete menu ideas. My problem is usually that I can decide on a main dish but have no idea what else to serve with it. Or if there's a perfect dessert that goes with a certain meal (this is usually when I want to have company over). We have loved all the food I have made from your recipes. Thank you for sharing them!!

I'm really into sweets, but I am not at all partial to one thing in particular. Cakes, pies, cupcakes, cookies, brownies … I am an equal opportunity baker and sweet eater!

I'm new to your blog. My two sisters in law have been raving so I thought I'd check you out!!! From being here minimally, I would say I'd like to see more healthy recipes. Like really healthy, because if you can make those taste good, I'm totally on board.
