Blogoversary and awards

Today is my blogoversary! It's been a really fun year and I want to thank everyone who stopped by and checked out my blog this year, and a special thank you to everyone who took the time to post a comment or tried one of the recipes.

I have learned so much this year from all of the wonderful blogs that I follow. Thanks for sharing all of your great recipes. I love trying the recipes you've shared. It takes the monotony out of cooking dinner every night.

The Daring Baker's challenges have made me step out of my comfort zone and helped me learn techniques that I have incorporated into my daily routine. Stop by tomorrow for my post on the January Daring Baker's challenge.


I've received a few awards! My blogging friend HoneyB at The Life and Loves of Grumpy's Honeybunch gave me the Triple Award. She has a really great blog with lots of followers, and in addition to her great recipes she shares fun stories about her life. Thanks Shelby!

The rules for recipients are:
1. Put the logo on your blog or post.
2. Nominate at least 10 blogs which show great Attitude and/or Gratitude!
3. Be sure to link to your nominees within your post.
4. Let them know that they have received this award by commenting on their blog.
5. Share the love and link to this post and to the person from whom you received your award.

Also, Nina at Nina's Culinary Creations awarded the Kreativ Blogger award and the Uber Amazing Blog to me. Nina creates and posts the most beautiful food pictures! Thanks for the awards Nina!





I'm going to pass on all three awards to the following great blogs that I follow:

Sweet Basil
Judy's Kitchen
Real Mom Kitchen
The Tortefeasor
Aggie's Kitchen
Gabes Baby Momma
Megan's Cookin
Megan's Munchies
Simple Sweet Home
Tami's Kitchen Table Talk

All of these blogs share wonderful recipes. Be sure and check them out.

Judy currently has a POM giveaway going on. I haven't tried the POM juice yet, but I would love to win some and give it a try! Check out her post if you'd like to enter.

By the way a great oyster sub is soy or worchesire sauce. (however you spell it)

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
