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….

  4. Congrats on 2 years! I have used quite a few of your recipes, all to great success! Thank you so much for sharing your talent and sense of humor and personality with us! Two things I would love more of: meals without meat and salads. I read through the comments, and the idea of different lunchbox ideas was fantastic!

  5. You do a great job on this blog!! I come here first when looking for a recipe and usually find something great. I don't know what I'd like to see more of, maybe side dishes or breakfast ideas. Soups for winter?

  6. Happy Birthday best little cooking blog! I love all your recipes and your funny little posts. They always make me smile. I've tried a lot of your recipes and they never let me down. Thank you so much for all your hard work! 🙂
    The only thing I can think of that I might want more of is vegetable side dishes. For some reason those are a challenge for me to come up with and I get tired of plain ol' veggies. I'd love some new ideas!

  8. Love your blog. I have many friends and family who are now followers. I guess I am always on the lookout for more dinner recipes. Don't get me wrong I am always trying a new dessert recipe, but I love the simple, quick and easy dinner recipes that I can add to my regular rotation of meals that we love. I also love trying new side dishes to add to our meals also. You do such a good job of posting something for everyone – kids, quick and easy for moms and delicious for everyone. Keep up the good work! themoonmom at hotmail dot com
