I found your blog around 16 years ago when I was living in Utah and changing to a healthier way of eating after struggling to lose weight after baby number two. I found it via internet search. I loved and was inspired by your own weight loss story. The recipes were delicious and I lost the weight. I have yet to try a recipe I haven’t liked. I like how real life your blog is and how relatable. I’ve continued to use your blog for recipes all of these years and I’ve referred a lot of people to it as well.

I found you when you were a part of the Weekend Herb Roundup. I was looking for more cooking content and stayed because it’s always interesting. Cheers on your Anniversary.

Congratulations, Kalyn. What an accomplishment, and how much the blog (yours) and the blogging world have changed in those 17 years. You’ve learned to move with the flow and with lots of spin-offs to boot. Good for you!

I found your blog around 2009 right after I graduated college and wanted to learn how to cook for myself. I have PCOS so I needed relatively low carb meals. I’m much better at cooking on the fly from tips I’ve learned from your blog, and I’m a friggin master at making soups!

In reply to Foodiewife. Thank you for those very kind thoughts. It is discouraging for sure, and I agree that I miss the fun collegial relationships I used to have with other bloggers. But I still enjoy so many parts of the process, and really don't want to quit. Glad you are hanging in there too.

I have been blogging since 2008 and you are one of the blogs I’ve followed. In fact, I’ve made a few of your delicious recipes. Like you, I’m a bit overwhelmed with how food blogging has changed. It’s definitely become so competitive– and I don’t know how to make those one-minute videos (it’s on my list of things I’d like to learn). I miss the sense of “family” I once had with so many fellow food bloggers. Nowadays, people do leave less comments. Sadly, some people troll and leave mean-spirited comments. Still, 14 years later, I’m still keeping up with my own food blog simply because it’s my creative outlet. I’m glad to know you have no immediate plans to quit. Your recipes and photos are top notch! Congratulations for sticking with it.
