Blushing is my new middle name...

How can I say thank you, once again, for being recognized by another blogger?  I guess the only way is to just say it, right?  Well, a tremendously large thanks goes out to Jane over at Going Jane for passing along the Blog with Substance award.  I found Jane's site like a lot of the sites I have found as of late, through Tuesday Tag-Along...a FANTASTIC site to fine new and wonderful blogs.  Jane is a self proclaimed Mac-addict...I mean, right there tells you that we are kindred spirits!  I love her posts with her kids, especially the one with them roping!  Her blog makes me laugh and, I gotta say, it makes me feel at home.  Ok, I didn't grow up on a farm, but I grew up in a small town in Nebraska surrounded by farms.  A lot of my friends grew up on farms...so, well... like I said, it makes me feel at home.  So thank you Jane...not only for the nomination, but for the comfort you bring to my days!

The Rules:

•Thank the blogger who awarded it to you.
•Sum up your blogging philosophy, motivation, and experience using five (5) words.
•Pass it on to 10 other blogs which you feel have real substance.

My blogging philosophy, motivation, and experience using 5 words: Inspiring Creativity in the Kitchen 

There are so many wonderful blogs out there that I have a very hard time trying to pick ones I want to pass these kinds of awards on to. I mean there are just some blogs that I feel have reached celebrity level and how do you hand an award like this to them?  If your followers are in the thousands, you are a blogging celebrity in my book!! I think Alisa over at The Meat and Potatoes Foodie said it best when she said - and I quote - "Oh hey there Pioneer Woman - I know your book was a #1 New York Times bestseller and all and your entire life may soon become a Reese Witherspoon movie, but here you go... The same goes for Noble Pig and One Perfect Bite and other blogs I wish mine could grow up to be like one day." lol  I couldn't have said it better myself Alisa!

Anyway...these are the 10 blogs I feel have extreme substance and deserve to be talked about in the blogging community!

I pass this award on to you:

1. Alisa, The Meat and Potatoes Foodie
2. Stephen, The Obsessive Chef
3. Andrea, The Kitchen Witch
4. Michelle, All Home Cooking. All Year Long.
5. Alex, Ma, What's For Dinner?
6. Ally, Fourth Grade Nothing
7. Siri, Siriously Delicious
8. Jenn, Bread + Butter
9. Yenta Mary, Food Floozie  (I know for sure you've already been giving this award once, but I so love your blog, I couldn't resist giving you the award again!)
10. Debbie, Mocha Me

So that's it folks... make sure to check out these AMAZING sites...you will not be disappointed!!!

Thanks again Jane....the honor is greatly appreciated!!
