Giveaway for a Blogoversary!

Happy Friday the 13th!! AND happy blogoversary to me!!

Woohooo! This is it! One year of cooking/baking/and blogging my little heart out. Making friends, trying new recipes (jam, gnocchi, so many more...), taking part in cookies exchanges, sending cookies across seas to support our troops!, cupcake competitions, tastes like home events, hosted dinner outing events... You guys have been there (and supportive) for it all, including me chopping my hair off for locks for love, yikes that was fun and scary all at the same time! So much good has come out in this past year! I am so grateful to all of you who are avid readers and followers. Seriously every time I get an email saying I have a comment I get a little high on life and am smiling like mad! And even if you don't comment, I love checking my google analytics and seeing how many people stop by to read everyday!! And seeing all the different coutries readers are from (92 countries and counting!) That makes me so excited, you have no clue, it's amazing!

look at all those countries who have visited!

I love being able to share my cooking triumphs and failures, and see what everyone else is up to out there. It's amazing how many talented, wonderful, caring people come out of the woodwork. You guys are amazing!! And I hope you continue along with me on my journey of chowing, and I look forward to continuing following along on yours! I really can't say thank you enough!!! THANK YOU!!!! As a bonus thank you TCHO has agreed to sync up with me and provide a tasting package of their fantastic chocolates to one lucky reader!

  3. Congratulations!!

    92 countries...that is absolutely amazing. Sounds like you need to have a week of country-specific recipes to celebrate (or maybe that could be when you hit 100!).

    I think I'd have to go with Citrus. That sounds delicious (:

  18. I've never tried other flavors in a piece of chocolate. You could say chocolate 'purist' or 'scaredy-cat'.

    But, for you, I will try a a blind taste test of these fine chocolates. They had me at 'fare trade beans'. I'm drooling thinking of all the great dessert recipes these will enhance.

    Even if I don't win, I still enjoy your site. Thanks for sharing! ;o}
