UPDATE AGAIN: On Sept 15, Dawnie, at The Coach’s Wife’s Kitchen was kind enough to pass this award on to me once again. I really am so honored and grateful. I love to meet new people through blogging and am always pretty amazed when another great food blogger recognizes me in this way! Dawnie is a new blogger, like myself. Her site is really visually pretty cool and she has posted some great recipes such asChicken Chile Verde, Fast & Delicious Chicken Marinade (which looks awesome!), and of course her desserts! Check out her Chocolate Covered Toasted Coconut Caramels and Easy Mexican Flan! I wish I could comment directly on her blog. But it’s the credentialing thing again! But thank you Dawnie! I still visit often and I hope everyone else will, too!
ANOTHER UPDATE: On June 12, this wonderful recognition was once again passedalong to me from Dee at Deelicious Sweets. Dee is such a wonderful person. When I first started blogging, she took the time to answer some questions I had; and I will not soon forget her kindness. She has a really great blog! She not only shares her amazing recipes like Southwest Corn on the Cob, Thai Coconut Chicken, and her latest dessert called Coconut Love! COCONUT! Did I tell you I love this woman! But more than her recipes, she shares a lot about her life, her experiences and her family. So please check her out. Thank you Dee! I am a devoted follower!
UPDATE: On May 25 I was nominated for this award once again!!! I am so appreciative to Kim at Feed Me Seymour for her vote of confidence! Kim has a wonderful blog where you will find great recipes like Garlic and Herb Baked Chicken, Berry Good Smoothies, and Sweet Potato Quesadillas! Her writing style is fabulous and she has some very amazing photography. Thank you Kim! I feel like I’m accepting my second Oscar!
I am so thrilled to have this award passed on to me! It means so much to me to have other cooks, bakers and foodies like myself, who also write blogs, recognize my efforts. When I first began this blog 1 month ago, I didn’t actually realize how much work it would be to maintain it and to try and keep yourself visible in the food community. But it is something that I have enjoyed so much and plan to continue. And so I would just like to thank Erin at Dinners, Dishes and Desserts for nominating me! Erin has a great blog and it’s one of my favorite go to sites for wonderful recipes like Char Siu Pork Roast, Shrimp Cakes and Churros!!!
In accepting this award, the rules are as such. You must thank the person who awarded you by linking back to their post. You must tell 7 things about yourself. And you must pass the award down to 15 other new or newly discovered blogs. So here we go….
1. On my last birthday in October, I bought myself a Kitchen Aid Mixer as a present. And it was only then, did I discover this new found passion for dessert making. (Before that I had only baked for the holidays!)
2. I have an offbeat and often wicked sense of humor!
3. Peas are my favorite vegetable, pasta is my favorite meal, but cupcakes are my favorite thing to make.
4. I think the best place to replenish is the ocean, and the best place to rejuvenate are the mountains.
5. I love pansies because they look so fragile but are actually so hardy. (hmmmm….must be something symbolic there…..)
6. I don’t know how to swim…but want to learn!
7. I have met many wonderful and interesting people through blogging!
And now…..in no particular order…..the drumroll….some of the blogs that I always have my eye on and feel are just as deserving as mine for the Versatile Blogger Award:
Thanks to everyone for sharing. Happy cooking and baking!!!
Thanks, Anne, for passing on the blog to me. I really appreciate it.
Have a wonderful Sunday!
Angie
Hi Anne, thanks so much for the sweet note!

Thanks again!
