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.

two lucky winners to be announced on Friday morning.

I love ya to pieces
and have a great day!

  1. I just want to say that I LOVE your blog and recipes! I have tried a few of your recipes (can't blame me, I just found this thing a few months ago) and they have been so so good! I actually thought I had a good Zuppa recipe until I came across yours. I also love how you have tutorials for everything, I love to see how to make something step by step. One of the things I would love to see more are fun for kids and drinks (I think there is only one post for a drink), because I look for something more special and fun to drink especially around the holiday time without the alcohol. I also would love to see maybe like a theme dinner for a “romantic dinner with your husband- dinner and dessert” or something like that.

  2. I just found your blog last night from a pin on Pinterest! I set here and looked at all the yummy recipes for the longest and even pinned a few so I could come back and try them!

    I would love to see more of your crock pot recipes! I'm totally obsessed with cooking in my crock so, the more recipes I find the better!!

    Thanks for the awesome giveaway and chance to win!!

  3. My friend recommended your blog to me just the other day and I have now looked through almost every recipe- I'm so excited about all of your yummy ideas! In fact, as I type, my sweet rolls are raising in my oven! Thanks for the great ideas…how about a few more crock-pot recipes for days that we have more time to assemble dinner in the morning then we do at dinner time? That would be helpful to me.

  4. This is such a fun blog you have here. I couldn't think of anything at first that I would like to see more of. Then I realized there are some interesting foods out there that a lot of people haven't tried or don't know how to cook with. I enjoy trying new foods so maybe once a week feature an item or ingredient that is a little newer to most of us. I mean things like: quinoa, buckwheat, agave necter, bulger, tofu, cheyote squash, goat cheese, lamb, things that we don't see every day!

  5. I love your blog. Thank you for all the great recipes. I would like to see more recipes for squash. I know that's a tough request so a runner-up request would be for Crock-pot recipes.
