Blogger Awards!

When I started this blog, I was just seeking a creative outlet to pour in my passion for food and document my experiments in the kitchen. Then I discovered a whole entire food community, with lovely like-minded people, who share with me a voracious love for all things food-related and have given me so much support and advice.

So when I received these Blogger Awards from my dear foodie friends, I was astonished and flattered beyond words. I received the first award from Simply Life about a month ago (sorry, I’m so behind!). Gina is one of the most diligent bloggers I know. I look forward to reading her daily postings of healthy, delicious comfort dishes. I get so many ideas and inspiration from her ingredients. So now, I’m passing this on to 10 other bloggers with lovely blogs

1. Nicole @  Making Good Choices - A fitness-ista with great recipes that are well-ness focused
2. Karine @ Food Gourmand - A converted cook who could not tear herself away from the kitchen once she discovered the pleasure of creating meals
3. Taste Hong Kong - A blog filled with beautiful mouth-watering Asian dishes
4. Lori Lynn @ Taste With the Eyes - Photos so mouth-watering, you’ll want to lick your computer screen!
5. Mary @ Foodo Del Mundo - Also another blog with delicious photos, and someone who is always there to give me advice as I’m a newbie exploring this blogosphere
6. Tasty Trix - One of the most witty blog writers – reading her posts always gives me a good belly laugh
7. Little Chef and I - Along with her little chef, she creates delectable dishes complete with step by step photo instructions
8. Debi @ Debi Shawcross Table Talk - The hostess with the mostest. Everything you need to know on how to beautifully entertain
9. Rouxbe - If you are a visual learner, her cooking videos are absolutely unrivaled
10. Terry and Reiko @ Culinary Tribune - Where I visit to learn about everything Japanese Cuisine related

A few days ago, I also received a Kreativ Blogger Award from the wonderful couple at  Vegetable Matter. They cook these amazing meals with the most exotic vegetables grown out of their magical garden.  Each time I see one of their lush, juicy ingredients taken straight out of their backyard, I am just green with envy! The rules of this award is to confess 7 things people might not know about me, and pass on to 7 bloggers. First the confessions:

 

• Up until 2 years ago, before I started taking cooking seriously, I used to cook with Prego. I know, embarrassing, but true.
• I am terrified of pigeons! Something about their red beady eyes and erratic flapping scares the living daylights out of me. I will seriously give them the right of way when encountering them on the street.
• On that same note, I became a vegetarian after I read and watched Hitchcock’s “The Birds” in Freshman English class, and dreamt that night about chickens attacking me. That was the last time I ate chicken nuggets or any meat.
• As a child, I thought avocados and eggplants were mushy and bland, but now they’re 2 of my favorite things.
• My guilty TV pleasure is Gossip Girl. I have a group of girlfriends whom I watch this with religiously to the point that our boyfriends have taken to referring to us as the “gossip girls”.  When they filmed 3 buildings away from my apt last Friday, I gave up all shred of dignity as I shrieked “Chase Crawford”!
• Even though I speak and think in English, I apparently sleep-talk in Chinese from time to time.
• The best way to get on my bad side is to call and wake me up before noon on a weekend.

Now, the passing of the baton – 7 Kreative Bloggers -

1. Alta @ Tasty Eats At Home - Delicious comfort food, all gluten free, but so tasty you wouldn’t even suspect
2. Elizabeth @ Guilty Kitchen - The best of both words – Healthy guiltless entrees followed by decadent guilty desserts
3. Mr and Mrs Bear @ Bears Kitchen - The largest, most eclectic collection of recipes from countries I haven’t even heard of
4. Big Girls Small Kitchen - This should be every post-college grad’s bible to cooking
5. The Ungourmet - Simple yet delicious meals
6. Tania @ Dulcis In Furno - Inspiring recipes, amazing photos. I draw so much inspiration from her
7. Five Star Foodie - Yummy foodie dishes beautifully presented

There are so many great bloggers and I wish I could’ve given out more! I tried to pass on to those who haven’t already received the same awards, so if I didn’t pass it on to you, it wasn’t because I didn’t want to, but because you’re already too in demand!
