Ultimate Blog Party 2009
And there are prizes. My three favorite are:
- Mabel’s Labels Big Combo Pack
- $25 gift certificate to Schlosser Designs
- Kitchen Aid Artisan Stand Mixer from Moms Who Think
But, I would be happy with any of the prizes (well, except for the baby ones, since I don’t have any little ones anymore!). Check out all the great prizes here, and if you want, you can put up your own blog post and participate in the fun.
Besides listing the prizes I want, I am also supposed to take a moment to introduce myself. Fortunately for you, I won’t go into all the boring details; instead, I will use a handy quiz I read about in the New York Times today. I took their What’s Your Cooking Personality quiz, and have discovered that my concerns about eating healthy and using local ingredients have manifested themselves into my cooking personality, which is both:
Healthy: Optimistic, book-loving, nature enthusiasts, healthy cooks experiment with fish, fresh produce and herbs. Health comes first, even if it means sometimes sacrificing taste.
and
Innovative: Creative and trend-setting, innovative cooks seldom use recipes and like to experiment with ingredients, cuisine styles and cooking methods.
I think this might work out well for my family – I want us to eat healthy, but I don’t want to sacrifice taste. I also love to experiment, and as I spend more time in the kitchen, I enjoy finding my creative-side. I own hundreds of cookbooks (and fiction and nonfiction) and love to read them and gather inspiration for my culinary pursuits. I love local, fresh produce. I am working on my garden so I can always have fresh herbs and produce available. I don’t necessarily think that I am a trend-setter in the kitchen, but I do like to experiment and try new things. In fact, my family rarely has the same meal twice, as I am always on the look out for something new.
What is your cooking personality?

thanks for the welcome! BTW, is there going to be an Easter exchange?
It claims I’m giving and innovative.
Thank you for stopping by my blog. It’s great to meet you too. I can’t wait to read your grandmother’s and great aunts’ recipes. Posting them on your blog and participating in my new Vintage Recipe Thursday will be the perfect way to save them and honor your family. I’m glad to see we have points in common and look forward to becoming good blog friends.

Just stopping by from the Ultimate Blog Party! What a great blog. I will be back to visit and look around some more.
Loved your blog…Love the party!!
Hope you will stop by my blog for a visit.
I am new to blogging and I am loving all my new friends.
I am giving away my first EVER BLOG PRIZE.
I have a gift basket business and it is the most requested gift over the last 15 years.
From the comments I have already received, it appears to be something a little different and something anyone could use.
I have been so touched by the comments that I have decided to give 2 boxes . They will be the $100 deluxe size.
I have decided that giving is life at its BEST. The drawing will be Saturday!

It’s great to meet you. Thanks for stopping by my recipe blog — sounds like you have been one happenin’, busy, party-hopping girl! I loved your description of your cooking personality. It sounds like we have a lot in common — book-loving, experimenting, creative, trying to eat healthier (at least when not making desserts
). I’m looking forward to getting to know you better.
