Yesterday was my blogiversary! I can't believe it's been one year already. You know that my past week has been up and down so my posting hasn't been regular. I will go back to normal posting at some point but for now I'm just trying to deal with life as it comes. The weird part about losing my grandma is that it has been so quick. The wake, the funeral came and went and now life is supposed to go back to normal, except it hasn't. Thank you for sticking with me through my weird schedule. Right now I'm trying to spend time with my family and Danny's as much as I can (which is a lot for most probably) to take me to a better place.
Anyways, over the past year a lot has happened. I started this blog as a way to share recipes with my family and it has evolved into so much more.
Somethings I've shared over the past year:
My undying love of coffee...
Stories of time spent with family and friends, who are the most dear to my heart.
Oh and we can't forget my love of salads.
- 3 big handfuls of spring mix (or any type)
- 6 black olives cut in half
- 4 strawberries cut into slices
- 1 carrot, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 red pepper, chopped
- 1 tbsp sliced almonds
- 1 Dr.Praegar's California vegetable burger (optional)
- balsamic vinaigrette
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl or plate. Add the vegetable burger to the top.
I've also learned SO much from all of you. I've learned about goji berries, hemp seed, cacao nibs, spelt flour, Amazing Grass, flax seeds, raw recipes/desserts, juices and so much more. I am so much more knowledgeable from the blogging community.
What is your favorite thing about the blogging community?
