Back in the Saddle Again

I started this blog back in 2005 as a way to keep recipes I’d tried and loved and to share them with all of you.

In 2021 (as you can see), I stopped posting. I really couldn’t tell you why. I mean, it was during the pandemic…what else did I have going on? Maybe that itself had taken all the creativity out of me. I was still cooking and finding things I wanted to share. I just didn’t have the energy to write up the posts to do so.

Maybe it was watching other food blogs change the way things were done. So many are now monetized. I have no issues with that – I just hate that there are often so many ads I have to struggle to get to the bottom of the post to actually see the recipe. That handy Jump to Recipe link rarely works. Or maybe it was the 4-5 paragraphs giving instructions before just giving you the recipe. It definitely is the new trend to force someone to subscribe to a blog before using the print functionality for a printer-friendly version of the recipe to print out. I usually just give up and look somewhere else for the recipe.

But, here we are 4 ½ years later, and I’m feeling the urge to be creative again. Start writing again. Starting sharing again. I’ll continue to post recipes, but I hope to also share more than that. I hope you will all come along on this little journey with me. 

And as always, thank you for your support.
