My blogiversary nearly slipped by me, but the WordPress monkeys were kind enough to remind me that yesterday I published my first post in 2011. So I am now starting out on my sixth year of blogging and sharing recipes. I can’t say 2016 was the best of years for me physically, but in the cooking department I expanded my horizons and bought a sous vide circulator and have had good success with this new method of cooking. I hope to begin sharing some of those recipes this new year after I’m satisfied they are up to standard for public consumption.
With that, a huge Thank You to all my friends and followers for your support, and Happy Cooking/Blogging in the New Year!
Congrats on five years! It goes by fast, isn’t it?
Here’s to many more years to come, as many as you feel like it because of course, blogging should be fun! no sense doing it if we don’t feel that thrill every time we hit “publish” 😉
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I’m trying to end 2016 on an up swing, Kathryn. But honestly, it’s been another year of more failure. So I guess i’ll take the advice I saw this morning while researching a post on the Chinese Zodiac and “embrace new challenges” for 2017. More hugs. 🙂

Congratulations, Kathryn. 5 years is quite a milestone and the content of your blog has never once faltered — even when you suffered an injury recently that would have sidelined most of us. Cannot wait to see what you’ll be sharing in the years to come.
I hope you and your family enjoyed wonderful times during the holidays and May 2017 bring you much joy and peace.

Let me know if there is anything in particular that I could write more about. I’ve been cooking sous-vide for 6 years now, so there is much I’m now taken for granted that may not be obvious for a newbie.
