One Year Blogiversary & Giveaway

It has been one year and almost 170 posts after I quietly began my blog. I cannot believe I have been doing this for 365 days. I initially started the blog as my own personal inventory of recipes I enjoyed and to have a place to record my evolution into (hopefully) someone that could cook. I never imagined it would become such a source of enjoyment for me, or that anyone would ever look at it!
I am so lucky to have progressed this much in one year’s time, and I want to thank all of you who check in on my blog from time to time. What better way to thank you than with a giveaway? As you’ve probably noticed, Cooking Light has been a huge part of my culinary development. I have them to thank for helping me realize that I could indeed learn how to cook. The magazine makes it easy to whip up a delicious and healthy meal while staying within a budget. Each month contains so many recipes that can be made in 40 minutes or less, (perfect for week nights) and because the magazine comes out monthly, it’s easy to take advantage of seasonal produce in your cooking.

So I am giving away not one, but two one-year subscriptions to Cooking Light, so that you can get as much joy out of the magazine as I have!

The first name picked gets a little giveaway bonus: a cookbook! You will be able to choose from either Cooking Light Fresh Food Fast: Weeknight Meals or Cooking Light Cooking Through Seasons.

  1. That is a tough one…both look very useful and interesting. I think I would go for the Cooking through the Seasonings. I am trying to cook more and more with ingredients that are naturally suppose to be eaten during that season. Great giveaway.

  2. Congratulations!! What a great giveaway to celebrate your blogiversary! I love Cooking Light. If I won I would like the Fast Weeknight Meals cookbook.

  3. I liked your facebook page!
    (And if I had to pick, I would choose the weeknight meals cookbook)

    PS- I love your blog.. it has inspired me to start cooking more often 🙂

    I really enjoy Cooking Light (but don’t have a subscription yet!) and would love to have the Cooking Light Fresh Food Fast: Weeknight Meals. Faster dinners make the evening so much nicer 🙂

  5. I’d love to win the fast weeknight meals cookbook. I definitely need some ideas for some quick and easy meals.

  6. Hi,I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other than that, fantastic blog!

  7. People often add too much salt in their recipes without realizing it until it’s too late, but do not worry. There is a way to fix this! Add two peeled and chopped raw potatoes to the dish, and then allow it to simmer for around 15 minutes. The potatoes help absorb the extra salt. For a dish that is tomato-based, just put a few more tomatoes in and let them cook until they’re tender. These will dilute the extra salt.’^
