Time to toot.

It’s that time.  Toot time.  As in, time to toot my own horn

Kelly, who blogs at Foodie Fresh, nominated me to participate in a fun game (of sorts) that’s sweeping the blogosphere.  It’s called “My 7 Links” and the goal is to unite bloggers (from all sectors) in a joint endeavor to share lessons learned and create a bank of long but not forgotten blog posts that deserve to see the light of day again.

THE RULES

1) Blogger is nominated to take part
2) Blogger publishes his/her 7 links on his/her blog – 1 link for each category.
3) Blogger nominates up to 5 more bloggers to take part.
4) These bloggers publish their 7 links and nominate another 5 more bloggers
5) And so it goes on!
6) We’ll be sharing the best posts from participating bloggers on our blog and everyday on Facebook and Twitter at #My7Links

 My 7 Links

#1—>  *My Beautiful Post *     This IS a food blog after all

#2—>  *My Most Popular Post*     Overnight Oats For Dummies.  So many people just do not understand the OO concept.  Whenever someone asks me what I’m eating, I always preface it with “OK this is going to sound really gross but…” 

#3—>  *Most Controversial*  I tried to recall a controversial post, and honest to god I could not think of one.  This makes sense given my hatred for conflict.  So, in lieu of inciting anger here’s this post that is SOMEWHAT controversial… at least my brother might think so –> Two Random Things

#4—>  *Most Helpful*  I love to reflect on this post when things get crazy at work, and it applies to ALL jobs, not just taxes:  10 Tips for Tax Season. Given that I’m rolling into fall busy season, this is an especially appropriate time to remember to bust our my daily happy dance.  Shout out to all my old coworkers in Ohio

#5—>  *Most Surprise Success*  Maker’s Mark Bananas Foster Bread.  Not sure why, but this get A LOT of googlage.  Well that and “pizza porn,” which is now officially the third most common search that links people to my blog.  Oh dear.

#6—>  *Not Enough Attention*  Words of wisdom from my mom.  You can NEVER get enough of those.  NEVER.

#7—>  *Most Proud*  Hello Cat, please exit the bag.  The result of EVERYONE and their mother assuming I was moving to CLT for a boy.  I don’t know why, but every time someone would make that insinuation I would literally go red with rage.  From family, to coworkers, to a PARTNER at my old employer, it didn’t matter.  RED RUM… RED RUM…………….

Lovely ladies I’ve nominated to participate:  Leashie Loo from All Kinds of Hungry,  Andrea from Can You Stay for Dinner, Jamie from Bibliophiled Away, Jaci from Engaged and Running, and Shanna from Shanna Like Banana!

Psssttttt by the way, the winner of the Veggies Chips Giveaway is:

~*~ Hope from With a Side of Hope ~*~

(Note that I removed Scott from the giveaway since he was the sponsor.  It’s only fair he can’t win his own prize )

Hello! I’m Mary, a self-proclaimed fervent foodie and carbohydrate connoisseur. This blog is about my life—my passions, adventures, and failures—through food. I’m a bean counting CPA by trade, but my true passion is food. It is the unabashed soul of my being. The history, the culture, the taste, the experience–I am fascinated and enchanted by it all. I devote my free time almost entirely to scouting out delicious restaurants and cooking up new recipes. It makes me especially happy when I can take a recipe and “healthify” it. By this I mean turn it into something healthy and nutritious that still tastes friggin’ delicious. I love to connect with readers, restaurants, and those in public relations, so email me and let’s talk food! Google

  • people always question big decisions like that, and sometimes I don't think they realize that it has a negative effect. When my boyfriend and I moved in together we got all kinds of input, most of which was unsolicited. But as long as you do what makes you happy, that's all that matters :)
    Now I feel all warm and fuzzy.

    • ps- he's now my husband, so SEE NAY-SAYERS????? It worked out just fine!!!

      Ok rant over.
