Ultimate Blog Party - hosted by 5 Minutes for Mom!
Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by my little part of the blogisphere. The party is just getting started here on Friday 4/9 and there is a fabulous looking list of prizes! I have my wishlist at the end of this post.
So, I am supposed to introduce myself and I will try really hard to keep it brief.
My name is Andrea and this is my adventure in all things food. I have always loved to bake, cook or just plain create edible delights. I dreamed of someday passing on all of that to my kiddos.
Fast forward to present day and I have 2 gorgeous kiddos (boy do they keep me busy!) who were diagnosed with PKU. This has made food (my love!) a real challenge. It also necessitated me staying home to care for them. So, now I am a SAHM with a computer and a blog. Look out! Now more than ever I am trying to make it all as healthy and fresh as I can. So, from my garden through the kitchen and to the table, it is all an adventure.
Of course with kids comes stuff. No matter how you go about it, they need stuff. Believe me, I have stuff coming out my ears here. This was made painfully obvious during our recent move to a new house out of town. So besides cooking and eating my way through the day, we talk about stuff. I love to try new things and also read other blogs about the great stuff they have found.
I hope you will like your visit and will take a moment to look through some past pics from Wordless Wed. or even just my recent musings.
I would love to win:
#16 – A custom-made tutu for a baby or little girl. This can be made in any color combination you like (classic pink or your favorite team colors). Tutus made by Sweet Patootie’s are the fluffiest little girl tutus you’ll find – like a REAL ballerina’s tutu! Great for costumes OR everyday play!
#1 – Win a $150 shopping spree at Pedal Cars and Retro Collectibles.
#5 – Baking Magic for Kids mini-cupcake kit for two winners. This kit contains 12 gourmet mini-cupcakes, unfrosted, with an assortment of frostings and decorations.
And if my top three picks are already chosen, I’d love any of the following (in order of preference): #63, 71, 3,15, 33, 32, 31, 83, 87, 98, 19, 18, 22, 37, 36, 73, 74, 9, from the US only list. or USC #60... I love edibles or I have 2 small kiddos age 2 & under.
Okay, now lets all par-tay!!!

Hi! I wish I was a better cook and had more time to bake. Good luck winning some fabulous prizes - I'd love one of those adorable tutus as well, they are to die for :)
ReplyDeleteI bet that tutu would look adorable on your little girl!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, Andrea. I'm glad to know a little more about you, too! Now, when you find some free time, can you come cook at my house?
Hi Andrea! I use to be an avid baker, cook, had a huge vegetable garden all that stuff, when my sons were younger. Things have changed much over the years! Pleased to meet you at the party though!
ReplyDeleteHappy blog party!
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by to say hello!
Have a great day!

Happy UBP! I brought more cocktail weinies! But I should probably leave all other cooking to you!
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about PKU, but I find cooking for kids a challenge without any additional issues! LOL
Thanks for stopping by! I had no clue your kids had it that hard. Makes me feel like my daughter has it easy!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday/Blog Party!!!

ReplyDeleteOh hey, I was just out in Portland for work a few weeks ago! Beautiful. I've bookmarked your blog - always looking for a fellow food blog! Enjoy the UBP.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet another fellow food blogger!
ReplyDeleteI've flown through Portland... and it is beautiful. What a wonderful place to raise a family.
I love growing stuff but, boy would I love it if I could talk someone else into cooking for me! :)

Isn't it funny though, no matter how much stuff you have, there is always the need for something else??? hahaah Happy UBP!
ReplyDeleteoh man I have have too much "stuff" in my house too! Nice to meet you and thanks for the visit last night for the UBP
ReplyDeleteI also love to cook, especially items from our gardens.
ReplyDeleteWe also have a lot of STUFF! I stopped by from the UBP.

I am quite possibly the WORST cook ever! I burnt Mac and Cheese in the microwave the other day! One of my goals for the year is to learn to cook, at least decent enough that someone will be able to eat it without gagging, maybe then my husband will stop lining his pockets with ziplocks...lol.

Happy UBP! I'm excited to find a blog that talks about feeding families. It's a constant battle in my house to figure out what to eat because I refuse to prepare a different meal for my daughter than I do for my husband and I. Unless, of course, we're eating sushi or something else a lil weird.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my blog if you get a chance.
