many thanks!

This past week my blog was nominated for the Liebster Award by Sophia over at Silk and Spice.  If you haven’t been already, check her out!  Her blog is filled with incredibly inspiring vegan and vegetarian recipes!  I am truly thankful to have been nominated!  Actually, I am shocked anyone actually reads my blog!  I’m not a writer, chef or photographer…I just like good, healthy food!

The Liebster Award showcases bloggers new to the scene.  Part of being nominated is to pay it forward and nominate others.

Here are the rules:

The Liebster Award highlights blogs that have less than 200 followers as a way to recognize new and upcoming blogs.

After being nominated, each nominee must:

  1. Acknowledge the nominating blogger
  2. Share 11 random facts about yourself
  3. Answer the 11 questions the blogger that nominated you has created for you
  4. Nominate 11 new bloggers
  5. Post 11 questions for your nominees to answer (Sofia is allowing us to use her questions instead of creating new ones, thank you!)
  6. Let all the bloggers know that they have been nominated; but you cannot nominate the blogger that nominated you.
