I’m extremely picky about products that I’ll accept to try “for the blog”. I’m not one to just try something because it’s free, though there was a time where that was the case. Usually, I’d rather try a new product from a trusted company than throw caution to the wind and try something like dehydrated [...]

It all happened in a food-induced blur: I volunteered to host the next meeting of the Traveling Pans way back in March. Sure, I could host in June! Sure! Eight people could easily fit in our dining room! And the next thing I knew, we were actually planning the event. One fun thing about hosting [...]

On Sunday, I had the pleasure of meeting up with some amazing Chicago-area bloggers at Big Bowl, a local Asian-fusion restaurant. I’ve been going to Big Bowl for as long as I can remember, but even though its only a few minutes away, I never go anymore! I was excited to go to the restaurant, [...]

About 3 weeks ago, the lovely people at Kikkoman sent me a HUGE box of goodies with one intent: create a “practice” Thanksgiving meal using their products, and share my ideas with you, my readers! I jumped at the chance because, believe it or not, I’d never made a turkey. Once our Thanksgiving plans were [...]

A mere month ago, I was saying that I wasn’t going to enter “that Project Food Blog thing” because I didn’t think I’d get very far. Amazingly, here I am, halfway through, with FIVE challenges under my (ever-increasing) belt. Thank you all for your incredible support, links, tweets, and votes! This challenge, to “create a [...]

I’ve decided to go for it… I’m throwing my proverbial hat into the proverbial ring (or should I rather say I’m throwing my whisk into the pot?) for Foodbuzz’s Project Food Blog! Challenge #1: Create a post that defines you as a food blogger. As a food blogger, many times we’re lumped into various categories. [...]
