On Saturday, I officially hit 3 years of blogging.
3 years! That’s a long time.
In 3 years, I finally learned how to make my own bread. I canned jam and green beans, and put away tomatoes for the winter. I stayed up way too late putting posts together, typed more words than I thought I would, and broke multiple computers in the process.
I was going to post on Saturday, but I was pretty busy cuddling my nephews.
Family > blogging, always.
But I do want to say thanks. I honestly can’t imagine what my life would be without blogging. I have made incredible friends, gained an insane amount of random food knowledge, and have stretched myself into someone that I never though I would be.
Thank you for reading, for commenting, for emailing when you try a recipe, for baking bread, for making cookies, for sharing food with your family and friends, for bringing a smile to my face every day.
Since I missed my own anniversary, I thought I would start this week with a giveaway from one of my favorite companies!
Stonyfield is one brand that is always in my fridge. I eat their yogurt – either regular or Oikos – almost every afternoon, I use it for baking, I use it in smoothies.
In fact, I just came up with a new recipe using Stonyfield yogurt and Peanut Butter & Co White Chocolate Wonderful peanut butter!
You can get the recipe (and vote for me!) here – plus, if you vote, you can enter to win a prize pack of your own.
Thankfully, they want to share the love with one of you. I’ve got an awesome prize pack to giveaway to a lucky reader.
The winner will get:
- Stonyfield cookbook
- Preserve items (colander, measuring cup, travel yogurt cup)
- $50 worth of Stonyfield free yogurt coupons
- Oikos apron
