SOME INTERESTING NEWS:

Toodles and smoochies! xx











































I have missed this lovely post… great to see it back.
Wow you have been a busy camper since you last wrote one of these. Love everything… especially the turtle ice cream. Drool…….
Thanks so much Ramona. I missed them too. They are just a bit of work and I’ve been so overloaded. But they shall be bi-monthly now so yah.
I love when you do these posts! I found a few recipes I missed and need to pin! Congrats on Foodgawker and Tastespotting, your photos rock and so glad I’m not the only one that uses a point and shoot!
Aw thanks so much. I am so happy to have some accepted. I am determined to improve my photos. It’s the stubborn Irish in me. My camera is a donkey. Seriously it’s old and not in a good vintage kind of way. So there is hope. If I can do it anyone can.
Hooray for the photo acceptances! I need to cross my fingers and submit a few…there’s only so much rejection a gal can take! It looks like I missed a few posts, so I have some catching up to do. I always love your links, too~
I feel you. I hadn’t submitted since February. It breaks your heart when they crush your dreams every day. I have been denied more times than I care to admit.
Thanks doll.
So what’s the news!? You’re killing me here! Congrats on getting the pictures in with Foodgawker and Tastespotting!
Lol, I feel bad. Almost. Not really. Okay, a little bit. Okay, not really. *giggles*
Thanks. I was so excited.
Congratulations on being accepted to Foodgawker for the chicken…it’s a terrific photo AND recipe!
Hi Kim Bee! You are such an amazing treat queen.. looking back at all your posts is making me hungry. Your 40 Cloves of Garlic Roast Chicken photo is outstanding.. I just can’t stop looking at it. Then again, all th photos are pretty in my eyes
. Have a good weekend dear friend!! xoxo
Aw thanks Jo. I look back at them and go, oh yah that’s why I can never lose weight. Lol. Thanks. That photo was 2 days of agonizing but well worth it now. I think I am finally starting to get the whole light thing. Sort of. You are too sweet. xx
YAY! Congratulations on photo acceptance! And thank you for the shout out.
Thanks so much. And you are most welcome. You make me drool constantly.
Congratulations on getting accepted on Foodgawker and Tastespotting. I’ve never thought my stuff was good enough but I’ll keep practicing!
I’m in danger of drooling on my keyboard if I look at any more of your photos! Must be time to eat.
Thanks Maureen. I was so excited today. I am determined to beat this camera of mine.
Turtle Ice Cream Pie is killing me here… I am happy with all these delicious dessert shown here. Congrats on your photo being accepted by TS and FG! I get discouraged by submitting… really tough! So congratulations! Looking forward to hearing the news.
Oh that turtle pie was SO good. Dripping with calories but hey, what can you do. I hadn’t submitted since February, I was getting so bummed about all the denials. So happy to get a yes. Felt really nice.
YES for photo acceptance! I do a happy dance every time with my old camera too
Love these posts!
Thanks. I was super happy today. Yah for old suckie cameras! lol
It should be a rule that you can’t post that many YUMMY photo’s all at once. I needed two napkins to wipe away my drool. mmmmm…thank you for sharing
Lol I know right. From now on it should not be this many. I was super behind on this thing.
Thanks for including me in your weekly links!
You are most welcome!
Congrats on having the photo accepted and especially by both the Gawker and Spotter. We all know what an achievement that is!
Thanks Anita. I was pretty excited. Then got body slammed by them today again. Lol.
Thanks so much for including me Kim! I’m loving that I Love Lucy popcorn container! I was obsessed with that show as a kid
And chocolate….
You are most welcome. It was a great recipe. Isn’t that container adorable. My kids got me that for Christmas.
All of those lovely photos are making me so hungry. I bet you miss Disney.
Thanks. Oh man you have no idea. I want to go back and just live in the park.
Life stuff is always the most interesting good news, twin
*wipes up drool from all the food photos*
Lol I suppose. Although a cookbook deal wouldn’t be anything to sneeze at either.
*hands Janet a napkin*
I love your popcorn recipes! And great links too!
Thanks so much Alyssa. xx
This post is full of good stuff, I will need to come back and spend time on these links-yum! Also, congrats to the photo acceptance at the food photo sites. I have always thought you to be a brave soul about stating what you are going to make next, I am one that would fear that there would be 30 other bloggers posting the same thing! Enjoy your weekend sweet friend and thanks for the nice comment on my blog.
Thanks Tina. Lol, I do worry a bit but I figure what they heck. You are most welcome. I love the new photo.
Oh my! You have been one busy bee!!
These look amazing. Thx for connecting with me on foodbuzz. I have subscribed to your blog and can’t wait to see what’s next.
