Blog Story

I started my blog, because I have always enjoyed creating recipes and wanted to share them since I can remember.  My career took another path for many years, and I am so glad I am now sharing my recipes with my wonderful readers and a fantastic blogging community.

Blogging is a journey, not a quick trip.  It takes a lot of work and time, especially if you are like me, and have no background in photography or website design and management.

Millie of Millie Thom

Vidya of Traditionally Modern Food

Paula of Never a Dull Bling

    Many congratulations on both awards, Antonia, They’re both well deserved. I agree that blogging is a journey and yes, it does take a lot of work and time. It’s been a big learning curve for me, too – but It’s such a satisfying experience.

      Thanks Katie! Years ago, I watched a documentary on a trip of a lifetime to Antarctica. Passengers were aboard a ship with an ice-cutter, which enabled them to visit areas in Antarctica people had never set foot. It was incredibly beautiful and amazing. It has always stuck in my mind 😀

        That’s awesome. I love stories like that. I hope you get to see it someday. 🙂
