I have been blog stalking for about a year now. I stalk for running inspiration, cooking inspiration and basically any inspiration I can get. Finally after always taking pictures of my cooking as I cook, taking notes on food as I eat, watching and DVRing hours of Food Network, spending 100$’s on food magizines and doing various other strange habits in my everyday life, my loving supportive husband told me I should start my own blog.
It took me a really long time to think that I was a blog worthy lady and I’m still not sure I am.. But if anything, at least I’ll have un-read documented parts of my life for me to go back and look at?! I just hope I can become half or even a quarter as good as some of you other bloggers! I have a feeling it’s going to take a while to catch onto but at least I have something to work towards!
Okay, So about me. I’m married to my best friend, I love to cook but am by no means a PRO. I LOVE to try new recipes, Change other’s recipes and make as much from scratch as possible. I try to live a healthy well-balanced life that does include running half marathons, eating chocolate and drinking wine… like A LOT of wine. and working a little. But still a very balanced life. So here’s me sharing a bit with you. Hope you enjoy
All photos are mine unless stated otherwise.
Thanks so much for the like! You have a really great growing collection of recipes here! Keep up the good work. I can imagine this turning into a great homemade cooking resource.
Thanks! I appreciate the support, it’s a scary world out here in blog land!
everything looks great…makes me hungry…what time is dinner?
Thanks! You’re welcome anytime. I can whip ya up something sepecial.
Aww! Your intro reminded me of how I felt when I started my blog, which at that point was to keep friends/family updated on a health situation now in the past. It is scary to put yourself out there!
But it looks like you’ve already seen some of the fun side too – the prep, photos, writing, composing.. And community!
Keep it up – I look forward to seeing more.
Thanks so much! It was scary at first but I am LOVING the fun stuff! So glad your healthier & happy!
Just saying thanks for popping over and liking the blog on Cherry Bakewell Tarts. Your blog looks magnificent and I hope others will come along to enjoy what you’ve lovingly prepared. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!

Hello PTHW
Many thanks for the like on my newly minted wee blog. Your ‘Nice to meet you’ page really resonates with me – I’ve been a long-time blog stalker, too.
Excuse me while I have a wee browse of your blog…
Browse away! It seems like a lot of bloggers started out with a lot of insecurity.
Hope you like it and come back often!!
Your food looks scrumptious! Love your blog! Not sure if you have 200 or less followers but I think you are deserving of this award! Here is a little bit of love from a fellow food lover! Pass on the love! http://joeandjulieskitchen.wordpress.com/2012/02/05/liebster-blog-award/

Hi, no doubt you are doing just great out here in blog-land judging from your vibrant content which reflects a true zest for life. If you would like to visit one of the most incredibly warm buzzing community websites I have yet seen in the fake online world we move around in. just pop in to Wikinut,com. I am not doing some cheap touting here, that is why I have not offered a personal link. Love your page and will return,Andre’

Thanks for the comment on my blog.
It really really really met a lot to me.
Blogging doesn’t have to be as difficult as you think.
Be honest (yes sometimes honesty means you to take a stand), share ( which your delicious recipes are already doing that) provide fresh content and there you go.
On a different note the bacon wrapped quiche look divine.
Right now my favorite red wine of the month is Mirassou form California. A pinot noir with really lushes velvety blackberry-ish plum flavour.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Love yours and I’ll be back to see what’s new!
I love your refreshing honesty. I’m new to blogging (writing and reading) but it’s so much fun! Looking forward to sharing your adventures!
