Hi, Maria,
I am a big fan of your recipes; they’re easy to follow, often original and I’ve never had a flop! We live better because of you!
Up until recently, I’ve also been a fan of your weekly This and That. I looked forward to it every week, knowing that I’d get ideas for a good meal, or find some great clothing or beauty products, often at a great price. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the last time I bought something that I found on This and That. It’s been months. $278 for a pair of jeans???? Most women can’t afford that.
Your blog and emails will continue to be a valuable resource for me, and because of that, I want to help you out by purchasing things that you recommend. It would be great to see some under $50 clothing once in a while!
Keep up the good work and thank you again for what you do! You make the world a better — and yummier– place!
Thanks for reading our blog and making our recipes! I try to share a good mix of things, I will try to keep sharing affordable options too! I love a bargain:)
Your cookies look spectacular! Are these recipes at your site? Such a pretty assortment.
Most of them are, look in my cookie section. I have LOTS to choose from!
hey girl- Great list! Yummy food and cute clothes! Hope your back is better. Those cookies look amazing! Have a blessed weekend!
Thank you!
I really enjoy getting your emails, trying your recipes as well as This & That suggestions!
Thank you!
