Introducing My Adoptee... The Reluctant Chef!

Kristen of Dine and Dish has done a wonderful thing by creating, organizing and hosting a wonderful program called "Adopt a Blogger." This is the third running of the event, where experienced food bloggers are matched with newbie food bloggers for a period of 3 months. During that time the experienced blogger is available to the newbie blogger for questions, sharing suggestions and tips and to just generally help the new blogger find his or her way. It's an incredible program and I am so excited to be a part of it!

One of the things I have learned since starting my kitchen blog is how amazing other food bloggers are. They are seriously some of the nicest people around and always willing to help each other out. I have made some incredible friendships through my blogging, folks I know I will be friends with for years to come. When I was just starting this blog, I was lucky to have help and suggestions from several experienced bloggers and I am so pleased that I am able to "pay it forward" by adopting a new blogger myself!

So without further ado I present to you.... Judy, The Reluctant Chef!

From Judy's blog:

Hello, My name is Judy and I am a stay at home mom to three children and I am currently studying the field of photography. I am not an advid cook, BUT I do love to bake and make desserts, so I’m sure you’ll find a bunch of those sneaking in the blog. I am using this blog to inspire me and give me the motivation to try new things, break out of our food rut, and maybe even to teach myself to start to like cooking?? Well maybe at least to become better at it, we won’t shoot for the stars here, lol. I am by no means “awesome” in the kitchen, & this is not the most fabulous food blog you will ever read. But I’m very real, cooking in a real kitchen, with real (local, normal, and available) food, and real (old) kitchen supplies! I have a habit of tweaking recipes to fit our likes, otherwise I will be sure to give credit where credit is due ! Let’s get started!

I am really looking forward to working with Judy and her gorgeous blog! She's got some amazing recipes already and her photgraphy is really beautiful. I hope you'll take a moment to stop by her blog and give her a warm welcome to the the blogsphere... you might just find a great new blog to add to your reading list!
