I am learning that if I really want legit blog, I need to have a contest. (I also need to have more followers, but this should help with that, I hope.) So I'm gonna! The very first Recipe Resolution prize is...wait for it...wait for it...
How to Cook Like a Top Chef Cookbook!
And for those of you who already follow me on Twitter or Facebook, no, this is not the very same book that I just won from Bravo's Top Chef All Star Challenge Sweepstakes. I mean, yes, it's the same book, but this is not the same copy. I'm keeping mine! :^} And if you're wondering why I chose this as my first prize, you must not know me! But, in any case, if you need some encouragement to enter, here's a page from one of my favorite sections:
Here's how to enter:
1) Become a "follower" of my blog;
2) Comment on this post with any food-related suggestion.
That's it! And if you know someone who'd be interested in winning this prize, please share this contest with them! I'm taking entries until this Friday, February 18th, at 12pm Pacific.
BUONA FORTUNA!
If you've read my bio, you know why I started this blog. If you haven't yet, then please do.
I'll wait.
Ya with me now? K. So anyway, I just wanted to say a few more things about my goals for this blog.
- First, I want this blog to be something I am doing for FUN. I have enough stress in my life already, so the aim of this blog is to be its antithesis. I want to turn my love of food into a fun hobby that gets me excited and keeps me entertained.
- Second, I'm striving to make one new recipe each week, but might do more if I feel ambitious enough. More than likely I'll be cooking on Tuesdays, and I'll aim to post my photo and review right away while it's still fresh (no pun intended).
- Third, thus far I've no rhyme or reason regarding my recipe choices. I'd love to be health-conscious enough to focus on all organic, gluten-and-dairy-and-soy-free dishes, but it's just not practical for me, or for many of you reading this. If something looks good to me at the time, I'll try it out. Or if something looks good to YOU, lemme know and I'll make it.
- And fourth, my blogging may not stop at recipes I make. I'm definitely going to make my own cooking the main topic, but if I'm out and try something wonderful, I may decide I need to write about it.
So that's it! I want to emphasize once again that I'm a novice EVERYTHING, so bear with me as I fumble my way through this challenge!
