Picture my 2-year-old Grandson took of me!
Is it a birthday or an anniversary? I’m not really sure but one year ago I started this blog and I didn’t really know what my intentions were in doing so. I know that I really hoped for a reading audience. I also wanted a place to chronicle all of my recipes. And eventually, the blog just sort of blossomed. I am so happy that I actually have followers who seem to be genuinely interested and engaged, my daughters have a place to go for my recipes without having to track me down and hope I have it in my brain. It’s all right here at their fingertips. Here I am at 176 Posts and still going strong! Every week I ask myself: How am I going to think up new recipes? But it always seems to just come to me and it’s lucky for Joel because he is truly the recipient of many a meal. Isn’t the Internet amazing? I wish I had it when I was younger. I still get a kick every day when I check my blog to see my stats and see how many people are actually reading it! Even though I can’t see who is reading,
I can see how many people have hit on it. I love all my subscribers. You all give me a reason to write, and I love when I run into one of you and you tell me how much you enjoy the recipes and reading the blog! Thanks again for making this labor of love worthwhile. Please continue reading and leaving me feedback–it means so very much to me.Candi

Happy Birthday CWC!!! Love getting the recipes and thinking about you – we just got a smoker! Today I am trying my first salmon…thinking Teriaki marinade (light). Did a chicken last week and now I’m on the hunt for the perfect smoked chicken salad. Stop by for a taste test (when ARE you coming home to Colorado?) Hugs you you and one for Joel too! xo,
