Liebster Award Nomination

About a month and a half ago I got a nomination for the Liebster Award from Top Ate on Your Plate,  an award given to new food bloggers, with less than 200 followers, given from fellow food bloggers. Here are some of the questions Jen asked me:

1. What is your favorite post from your blog?
Penne Ala Vodka!! My mom’s Penne Ala Vodka is one of my favorite meals. It brings me home no matter where I am.
2. What’s your favorite: Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest?
I check Pinterest and Twitter on an hourly basis. I am obsessed. But I love that everything on Pinterest is interesting, new and creative. There are so many ideas and it is such a creative platform.
3. What is your strength as a blogger?
I try it all and like most. There are very few foods I am not going to try to create, recreate or make my own. I love food and appreciate all the different types of food from around the world.
4. What is your most memorable meal?
Memorable in not such a good way: I tried to make enchiladas per my boyfriend’s mom’s recipe. (She’s Mexican) No bueno. Poor guy sat there like a champ and pretended to like it until I took a bite and nearly spit it out. Yucko!
5. Wine, beer or spirits?
Wine. I am a complete wino! I love all Pacific Coast wines.
6. What ingredient could you not live without?
Garlic. Garlic can make any meal better. It is something I never skimp on.
7. What is your top desired travel destination?
Italy. The food, the wine, the landscape. I wouldn’t be able to stay for just a week. Literally salivating just thinking about it.
8. What is your favorite food blog?
I honestly don’t have one. I view so many food blogs regularly, it’s hard to pick one.
9. What state/country do you live in?
California
10. What are you blogging goals?
My blogging goals are vast. I love writing about food and sharing my recipes and my family’s recipes but my personal finance blogging goals is to keep myself in check and hold myself accountable.
