Hello and welcome to the new think fruitful blog!
I am so thrilled that you are here and I can’t wait to show you the blog’s new look on this new site.
After going to my first blog conference in September, I started thinking about moving my blog over to WordPress and getting my very own URL. And for the past four months I have been working away figuring out how I wanted everything to look and feel and darn it all if I didn’t have to fix every dang recipe card to have my new url.
But it’s all worth it! I hope you think it is, too.
Although I’m still fixing a few things, I hope you’ll find this new space continues to be a fun place to find new recipes, revive culinary memories and talk about all-things food.
Please keep reading (I am so thankful for you), sign up to receive blog updates via email on the right side of this page and make sure you have thinkfruitful.com saved on your bookmarks or Bloglovin account. (And if you don’t have a Bloglovin yet, you need one!)
And I must give thanks to my wonderful friend Kyle Blair for hand-drawing my beautiful logo. I couldn’t be happier with it! Also, thanks to Cavalier Photography for some seriously sweet head shots. And thanks to my husband for listening to my WordPress questions, even if he couldn’t answer them. He’s my #1 fan and I couldn’t do it without him…well, I definitely couldn’t eat as many of my baked goods as he can, so that’s something.
Now back to usual blog business, here are my Food Resolutions for the 2014 blog year:
1. More Healthy Baking- Since I can tell you guys loved my other healthy baking posts, I hope to continue finding ways to solve my sweet tooth without going too crazy.
2. Make Shakshuka– I have been seeing mouth-watering pictures and recipes for this Middle Eastern dish all over the internet and blog world and it’s absolutely on my list to make sometime this year.
3. More Meal Hosting- I was so happy to have some people over to share meals this year and host a wine and cheese get together (one of my 2013 goals), and I would really like to stretch my hosting muscle some more this year.
4. More Interaction- I would love to see you comment more and I would love to interact more with other bloggers and readers.
5. Get a Real Camera and Learn How to Use It- Sometime this year, I hope to save up to get a real, fancy-dancy, DSLR camera (if the finances allow), so I can take photos of things that my little iPhone can’t.
In 2013, I am happy to say that I met all of my Food Resolutions by hosting a wine and cheese party, making many vegetarians meals (which now have a whole section on my Recipe Cards Page), a few drinks (Mojitos, French 75, Sangria, Limeades and Rosemary Gin Cocktail), Chapati and Dal and worked on my food photography.
Thanks for sticking with think fruitful…good things are surely to come!
Happy New Year’s!
