My Blog is turning 3 today!!

Can you believe that?! I cannot believe that I have been blogging for 3 years.

So many recipes, so many new friends, so many opportunities.

I would never have thought 3 years ago that the blog would become such a big part of my life but it has.

People that I never would have thought of paying attention to things like a food blog, talk to me about my recipes or about the content that I write about. Just wow!

Throughout the 3 years I have been amazed at the interest, support and overall love I have gotten with this blog.

I wanted to share with you guys some of the things I have learned, seen and dealt with over the past few years. If someone would have told me 4 years ago that I would have a blog, I would have laughed at them.

Now? I can’t imagine now having it.

Here are 10 things I have learned about myself and about food blogging over the past 3 years:

  1. If you blog, do it because you love it. Don’t do it for money or for others. Blogging has to be for YOU and no one else.
  2. You will be dubbed as the person who “always has a good recipe for ____”. Food blog #FTW.
  3. The food blogging community is ENORMOUS but it feels like you know them all personally. Each and every one.
  4. I LOVE cooking! I knew I loved it before, but I have become so much more adventurous and I have a recipe “to make” list a mile long of all the recipes I want to try.
  5. I have become a complete foodie. I admit it.
  6. Being picky is not a bad thing. Embrace it. 🙂
  7. Shamelessly taking pictures of my food has become common practice. Family, friends and strangers have seen me do it and it probably won’t stop any time soon.
  8. You start to use your own blog as a cookbook. “I think I made that once…. ::hits search button:”.
  9. Ask your Mom how to make things from your childhood. You won’t regret it.
  10. Give credit where it is deserved.

Those are only a few things that I have learned over the years, but good things I think.

Thank you all for being a part of my blogging journey! Some of you I have known since the very beginning of my blogging and I am so glad to get to know all of you and keep in touch so regularly.

So in honor of the blog, grab a muffin and enjoy!
