Benefits of Blogging

Hello everyone.  One of the reasons I enjoy blogging is meeting new friends and forming friendships with them.  It's what keeps me going and makes blogging fun for me.  :)

Through blogging I met a new friend Rhonda who blogs at Ramblings of a Southern Girl.  Rhonda recently did a fun post on how to style a shelf (shelfie) as she put it and she also had a fun giveaway.  She featured this cow cup and I was chosen as the winner and she also included caramel candies.  It was such a shock and pleasant surprise to me and so sweet and thoughtful of Rhonda.  Please stop by and visit Rhonda's blog where she shares about recipes, interior decorating, and much more.

When I showed the cute cow cup to my husband and teen, they both said that it was so adorable, and I totally agree!  I have the cow cup sitting on my kitchen counter and I'm using it to hold our sugar packets.

Look how darn cute the cow cup is!

Thanks again Rhonda for selecting me as the winner of your giveaway and for our new blogging friendship!

On my blog I enjoy sharing with you the recipes that I make and cook for my family and friends.  

What I really love and get excited about is when I get feed back from you and some of you make the recipes I make and share such as the Grilled Fish with Asparagus in Foil Packets.  

Below you can see a photo of fish that Kitty sent me, from Kitty who blogs at Kitty's Kozy Kitchen.  She made the fish for dinner and sent me the photo of it.  

If you haven't met Kitty yet, please visit her blog where she shares her crafts, and recipes that she enjoys baking for her family and friends.

Thanks Kitty for making the grilled fish.  I'm so happy I inspired you to cook it and I hope you enjoyed it as much as my family did! 

I also have another blog friend who enjoys cooking vegan dishes for her family.  Heather who blogs at Our Life in a Click uses an ingredient called Nutritional Yeast Flakes in many of her recipes.  Please take a minute to stop by Heather's blog where she shares posts about her recipes, travel, and family.

I have a teen who is very interested in vegan and vegetarian recipes.  I was so inspired to buy this ingredient from Heather's recommendation.  Thanks Heather we use it now to sprinkle it in our soup and on our pasta.

Below is a photo of the nutritional yeast flakes that I bought in our health department of our grocery store.

If you have never heard of nutritional yeast flakes before it has a nutty and cheese like flavor to it. 

Thanks blogging friends you are the best and lets keep inspiring each other!!
