Thank you all for being so generous with your time and leaving comments and compliments on my posts. I am honored to be part of the blogging community. You all made it fun and exciting. Thank you very much for sharing your amazing talents, views, and insights. Keep blogging y’all. Please do check out their fabulous blogs. Each of them offer something unique and interesting.
No matter what you go through in life when you have such caring friend(s) who support you no matter what, you know you are truly blessed. And, no matter how crazy your family gets, it’s a part of life and you can only be grateful for their support. Some of you have told me that I have inspired you to cook and bake. I am honored. I encourage you to keep doing what you are doing. It’s true that “practice makes perfect”. It’s the words I live by when it comes to decorating cakes and baking.
I was so happy when I received a message from Emilie from Mytaste.com. Mytaste.com is a search engine that compiles the best American cooking sites and blogs from the Internet. It’s such an honor to be recognized and added to their website. Thank you so much.
I hope you will continue to follow me in my journey by supporting my blog. Your support means a great deal to me. Thanks a million. Have a blessed spring and a great year. Best wishes to you all.
With sincere gratitude,
Anna B.
Congratulations, Anna, for being recognized by MyTaste.com website. You certainly deserve the honor. Thank you, too, for including me is such a fine list of blogs. Now I’m the one that’s honored. 🙂
Thank you, John. I am humbled by your kind words. It is my pleasure to include all the amazing bloggers like you on the list. You all helped support my blog. I will always be grateful. I’m still planning to make the harrisa chicken. I think my husband and I would really like it. I’ll keep you posted. Thanks for stopping by, John. Have a lovely sunny day!:

Thank you, Laura for the kind words and compliments. I’m glad you find it so. I appreciate it. Thank you as well for sharing your insight and wisdom. I love your most recent post on “conviction”; keep us grounded when we are mindful about our thoughts and actions. Have a blessed week. 🙂
Thanks Anna, and congratulations on being recognized by mytaste :-). Thanks for sharing your wonderful food with us all, it’s always a pleasure to read your posts.

Thanks for sharing your talents in the kitchen as well. I love your wild garlic pesto. It’s quite interesting. I love garlic…and pesto? Wow! Great post, Rhi. Thanks for stopping by. Have a lovely day! 🙂
Thank you Anna for your lovely,kind words,it really means a lot for me.I even cannot express what I feel inside my soul.This is really amazing what you do.Thank you,Krystyna
Krystyna, you are amazing in your own ways as well. I love that you blog about health and longevity. It’s like a candy store only healthy. I want to learn more about healthy eating and your blog is an amazing site to go to. Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge, Krystyna.

Anna, Congratulations to you on the mytaste.com gig. 🙂 You are a talented blogger and great friend. Warmest wishes, Shanna
My PRCCSS! Thank you kindly. You helped make it happen. You never miss to comment on my posts. I am overcome by such gesture and generosity. Thank you so much, Shanna.
I am not sure if I should call it a gig with Mytaste.com. According to Emilie from Mytaste.com, they’re a “search engine website that compiles best American cooking sites and blogs from the internet”. It’s just to help bring traffic to your blog. It would be awesome if I can get a gig out of blogging. I need a job and doing it at home is best because of my children. You are an amazing, talented blogger and a great friend as well, Shanna. You are very sweet, kind and generous and you made my day whenever I see you stop by. Thank you very much. Best wishes to you. I hope your health is good as well as the baby. Have a great day, PRCCSS. 🙂
Awww! You’re so sweet!! This message made my day and it’s always our pleasure.

I have mentioned in my award page that I wasn’t going to participate, but I could no longer brush it aside. Thank you, Jhuls for the award. I am honored. I will one day sit down and do them. I’m asking for your patience (I’m backlog) 😀

Yup, I did miss some of the notifications. You are the first to comment and I didn’t even see when I clicked on the “notification” button. Sorry about that. The pleasure is all mine, Ngan. You all made it happen. Thank you for sharing your talents as well. I love your chocolate sugar cookies. I’m not much into reading novels or stories. However, I look forward to what you have to share next. Thanks for the cheer and stopping by. Enjoy your evening. :).
