Vote for Philly’s Epikur Writer of the Year!

A few months back, I received an email from Epikur Magazine, an online food and wine magazine written by The Wine School of Philad elph ia, notifying me that my Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread post was being nominated for the Epikur Writer of the Year Award. How cool is that?

I was also given this snazzy badge to put on my “featured in” page :

It would mean a lot to me if you could take a minute to head over to the voting page, check off my name (Kaitlin Lunny) and vote for my little blog. There is no registration and you can only vote once. I’d really appreciate it!

Vote here!

Thank you for checking in on my blog from time to time as well. I love that you continue to be interested in my cooking journey and hope that you enjoy reading my posts as much as I like writing them!

Also, if you haven’t checked out Epikur Magazine, I strongly suggest it!

Versatile Blogger Award

I woke up this morning to a wonderful surprise. The lovely Kelly (Eat Yourself Skinny) has passed the Versatile Blogger award on to me. This award is passed from blogger to blogger to acknowledge each others different sites. Because I’m pretty sure I’m not allowed to pass this award back to the person who gave it to me, I want to give Kelly an Honorable Mention; be sure to check her page out for great recipes!

Part of accepting this award involves a couple of rules.

1. I have to list 7 “fun facts” about myself

2.I must pass this award on to 15 other deserving bloggers

So here goes…

1. I am terrified of knives. Yes, I cook almost every day and still freak out about using them each and every time. When I can, I try to swindle someone else into prepping my vegetables for me.

2. I read magazines back to front. Not sure how or why, but I do.

3. I am a very proud Philadelphian. I love my city and make it a personal goal to get New Yorkers to at least have a good time here when visiting.

4. I am left-handed.

5. I’ve never had a potato chip.

6. I caught the travel bug at a young age. I studied abroad in both Switzerland and Australia and have been to over ten countries overall. (But never Canada or Mexico. Go figure.)

7. This kind of goes hand-in-hand with #3 but I absolutely love the Phillies.

Now for those that also deserve this award:
