Announcements and Awards

Announcement no.1:

On Thursday, I woke up to a mind-blowing news! My Carmelitas post made it to Top9 on Foodbuzz!
Thank you so much for voting it up there!! I can't even express my appreciation to you.. You guys ROCK!

 Announcement no.2:

Every cook and baker has tricks up the sleeve. You discover them yourself through trial and error or you learn them from others. Either way, we all have them.
Encouraged by my Hubby, I decided to start a series of posts where I will share my cooking and baking tips.
Let's call it "Kitchen Know-How". It will start with the next post and I can't wait to share it with you!

Announcement no.3:

I love sharing my recipes here on the blog! I can even tell you how many times I wished I could share the goodies with all of you right from the plate. So we all can go: mmm, that's so good ( mouth full )....
That lead me to an idea: we could have a virtual party where we bake the same thing with our own twists and link it up the same day! For example, if the theme is brownies, we all bake brownies the way we like'em ( with nuts, with marshmallows, fudgy, cakey - it's all up to the baker ) and we share the recipe on the announcement day on our blogs.

So what do you say? If you are interested in joining me, leave a comment saying so or shoot me an e-mail. I will compile a list of participants and we will go from there.

So don't leave me eating my brownies myself! I want to share :)

Awards:

In the last few weeks, I had my dear blogging foodie friends send some awards my way.
Maggie from Kitchie Coo awarded me the Kreative Blogger Award. If you have not visited Maggie's blog - now is the time! She is an amazing cook! Her guacamole recipe will leave you drooling! Thank you so much for the award, Maggie :)

I received the Versatile Blogger Award from:
- Teri from The Freshman Cook - she makes these yummy PB&J ice cream sammies - perfect for Summer!
- Vanessa at Cakes and Teacups - her flourless chocolate cake is a must-bake!
- Nichole aka The Cookaholic Wife - you need to see her Drunken Cheesecake Brownies recipe! YUM!
- Tammi from Momma's Meals - her Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal Squares are looking scrumptious!
Thank you so much for all the awards! It means a lot to be appreciated!

Now hop on over to visit my foodie friends - you will find lots of deliciousness on their blogs. :)

I will be back on Monday with my first Kitchen Know-How post. Stay tuned :)

Have a sweet weekend, my friends!
