Blog Award!

Several weeks ago, Nancy from Spicie Foodie awarded me the Happy 101 Award! Nancy has fabulous recipes featured on her site, many times with a spicy Mexican flare, which range from classic tomato soup to exotic tempting treats, so be sure to check out what she has to offer.


Part of receiving this award is to share 10 things that make me happy, as well as name 10 fellow foodies' blogs that I enjoy reading (of which I'm trying not to rename any mentioned in my previous award post, even though those bloggers make me happy, too!).

1.My fiancé, who is as unique as I am, but puts up with my silliness on a daily basis
2. My siblings who make life interesting and exciting
3. My dog who is my loving and wild companion
4. Getting lost in a great book
5. Hiking in the woods
6. Swimming laps for hours on end
7. Discovering new desserts to enjoy (my sweet tooth is insatiable)
8. Sleeping in while it's raining outside
9. Exploring historical sites and learning its history
10. Reading comments on my blog ::hint, hint::

My list of bloggers who make me happy, in no particular order:

1. Robin at A Chow Life
2. Rochelle at Acquired Taste
3. Madalina at Duh-Licious
4. Kerry at French Revolution
5. Isabelle at Good Food, Good Wine, and a Bad Girl
6. Hannah at honey & jam
7. Gina at Simply Life
8. Rose & Adam at The Bite Me Kitchen
9. Cynthia at Taste Like Home
10. Mike at Vegan for the People

I hope you enjoy the wonderful recipes these foodies have to offer!

As you can see from the side bar, I was very graciously given two blog badges in October. I would like to thank Marillyn from Just Making Noise for the Friend Badge and Kathy from The Colors of Indian Cooking for the Kreativ Blogger Award. I am so happy to be recognized by two amazing foodies - Thank you!

• Silvia - Citron et Vanille
• Diana - A Little Bit of Spain in Iowa

However, review of the rules shows I have something else to share:

I'm not very good at thinking I have anything to talk about, which is one reason why I started this blog - now I have something to contribute to a conversation. But, I will try my best...

3. I am part Native American Cherokee from my great grandparents.
4. I am the only person in my immediate family not born in Florida.
