When I started this blog, one post a day for most days didn’t seem too hard…I mean, I do have lots of recipes I want to share with everyone! Of course, this didn’t happen as most nights I just want to crash on my couch and just quickly whip up some salad, nothing worth mentioning on this blog. Also, I have been struggling capturing good quality pictures as most of the recipes are made during the night in my not so brightly illuminated kitchen. Some days I feel defeated and wonder if it’s still worth blogging, but then I post a new recipe and your comments and likes brighten my day. The day I was nominated to the Versatile Blogger Award by Acorn in the kitchen was particularly exciting. Thank you again for the nomination!
The rules of the nomination are that I have to share 7 random facts about myself and then nominate 15 bloggers that I read/follow.
Here are the first 7 facts that I thought about:
- I didn’t use to like pepper so my mom used to use whole peppercorns in the cabbage rolls so that my sister and I could remove them. Now I love freshly ground pepper on anything! (well, except desserts
) - Speaking of cabbage rolls, I love the taste the cabbage gives to them, but I only eat the meat inside and leave the cabbage untouched!
- I lived without a TV for most of my time in the US. One of my friends insisted that I take her old TV last Aug since my new apt comes with free cable. I forgot how bad the TV news can be!
- I fell in love with Chicago as a city, but I still hate the cold winter winds.
- One of my favorite activities is biking on the Michigan lake bike path in the summer. I also love a relaxing weekend morning when I can enjoy a nice cup of coffee, a good book and/or the view from my studio (same view as the header picture on the blog)
- I sometimes find it hard to cook just for myself, but I love cooking for my friends
- I met my best friends in Chicago mainly through food. In my opinion, nothing beats good food with good company…and maybe a bit of alcohol
Now, I just have to nominate 15 bloggers. The first nomination will go to my sister since she is the reason I started this blog. The others are just blogs I enjoy following and there is no reasoning behind the order. I’ve realized a lot of bloggers I follow have already received the award, so I tried my best not to doubly nominate and spread the award to new awesome bloggers! There isn’t one day spent on wordpress that I don’t discover a good blog.
thanks for the nomination, I am honored! you have a great blog!
Thank you!
Thank you for the nomination! I’m glad that you enjoy my little thoughts and recipes!
Thank you for the nomination! Was having a rough day today and this really gave me a pick-me-up!
I hope your day got better!

Thank you SO much for the nomination! I am absolutely tickled!! Mr. Foodie is watching American Idol and I just went out doing a little happy dance and a little sing-song of my own that I’ve been nominated as a Versatile Blogger, lol! How FUN to be recognized by fellow bloggers!! Keep up the good work on your blog! The view from your apartment is AMAZING!!
your comment brighten up my commute home. If I wasn’t so tired and hungry I may have asked the conductor if I can push the train so we can all get home faster to our fridges
