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. Thanks to my sister-in-law I started following your blog several months ago and love it. I have made several of the recipes and they have always turned out great. I would love to see some quicker/easy to make recipes since in a few months I will be having twins.

  2. I don't know what I'd like to see more of, there are already so many recipes that I haven't tried. Maybe a few more ways to use food storage items. I know you grind your own wheat too, maybe a few step by steps on that and how to use it in recipes.

  3. Jamie,
    Thank you! I have LOVED your blog… You have helped me more than you will know! I would love to see some diabetic recipes that kids would like. It's hard to find things to make that aren't bland and boring.
    Thank you for all you have done!

  4. I Love your blog, so I'm glad you love blogging so much! I am really wanting to master bread, so I'd love to see some inventive bread recipes. And aside from that, anything with cheese. and lots of it!

  5. I'm not even sure how I came across your blog, but it is a favorite of mine now that I check regularly. I just made you teriyaki sauce for dinner last night and I have loved everything else that I have tried. I would love to see more quick easy dinner recipes or the type of meal you might take in to a neighbor. Thanks for such a great recipe blog! Thanks! Lindsey ([email protected])

  6. I'm a dessert kind of girl, and always on the lookout for something tasty and new to try. (Can I just say you cinnamon bear popcorn has become an obsessions of mine?)But all your other recipes are wonderful too!

  7. I love your Blog!!! It is the only food blog I have stayed with continuously. I just hit forty and decided to bring a brand new “muffin top” into the forties with me. So I am trying really hard to leave it behind. I have made everyone of your “healthy” dishes about a bajillion times and love them. I would love to see a few more for the sake of my husband and children who keep saying “this again”
