7 things....

Earlier in the week, I received an award from a fellow blogger, Kelly from Eat Yourself Skinny. Check out her blog, in her last post she's at the derby, wearing a super hot pink hat and eating cake pops. I love everything about that and want to be a part of it.

As part of receiving the Versatile blogger award, I have to tell you 7 things about myself that you may not know and pass it on to 15 other bloggers. Well, I'm gonna do half of it, kind of.

I'm going to tell you 7 things about me but ínstead of passing it along, I'm going to give you my 15 go-to, absolute favourite sites that I visit the most. Oh yes, this includes kitten videos. Ready kids?

1. I must have things in pairs. Cats, people, cookies, you get the idea. Everything must be in even numbers.

2. I've spend 2 years growing my hair out and now, I have an extreme desire to cut it all off.

3. I don't eat beef, because I am unable to digest it but, I beg the husband for big macs when I'm drunk. He tells me no. I love him for that.

4. I am obsessed with instagram.

5. We put a purple collar on bean today and now, I think she looks like a fat head.

6. I have a 2lbs container of dates my mom brought back from California that I have no idea what to do with.

7. Accidently on purpose, I came across a crib I want with every inch of my being. Note : I am not pregnant, nor do I have a child. I'm just crazy.

My favourite places to visit on the interwebs, go.

The Kitchn - excellent noms, great cooking/baking tips and they let you spy into peoples houses (aka tours)

Serious Eats  - great recipes and restaurant reviews, plus they have cakespy as a featured writer!

Blogger - how I write to the world and comment on other peoples food stuffs.

Vancouver Sun - keeping up on current events. yo.

Hootsuite - social media and stuff.



giant hot dog on the loose!

Vancouver Canucks - "shots, shots, shots, shotsshotshots "

Cute Overload - kittens, bunnies and puppies. Need I say more?

Joy the Baker - this woman is a genius.

Epicurious - all you ever wanted to make and more..

Etsy - feeds my handmade and vintage addiction.

Google - for when you need to look up important stuff like, puppy cams.

Confessions of a Pioneer Woman - I love her pictures of animals and life.

Kitchen conversions - I always convert recipes that ask for "x" amount of tablespoons to cups. It's much easier

Foodbuzz - food porn community.

Hotmail - writing emails to lulu about cat videos and what we're eating.

All photos are via my instagram account.

stylish blogger award

Yesterday I found out from my newest blog friend, that she gave me the stylish blogger award.

I'm pretty floored. It makes me want to shout "Hey Y'all I won an award!"

But I'm not from the south, I'm almost from the north pole, so saying that would just make me sound crazy.

Nikki from the tolerant vegan gave me this award, I think you should visit her blog. She writes about cats, life on the east coast, overeating muffins and sadly, her love for the Calgary Flames.

Before I perform my duties of this award, tell you 7 things about me and give the award to other bloggers, I think I should give the person who gave me this award.

Cookies. Vegan cookies. You should make these. I think they're acceptable for breakfast. Not like I'll ever say no to cookies for breakfast.

Things you don't know about me.

1. I hate feet. They are disgusting.
2. When I was little, I used to eat straight butter.
3. I have IBS and some crazy insides, so even though I make treats, my usual menu is very restricted.
4. I'm almost 6 feet tall (5ft 11 to be exact) and because I like to cook, the husband calls me Julia Child.
5. I have one sibling, a sister. We are 15 months apart, I'm older and much wiser.
6. I have a bath every night before bed. If I don't, I can't sleep.
7. I sing and dance every single time I'm in the car alone.

Now, on to who I think should receive this award.

Sara at 1 +1 = baby because I have severe baby fever and I think her stories about life with baby is fantastic.

Paula at Paula's Diary She's from Austria and always has a wonderful story and an answer for all of my questions.

New foodie at new foodie foods Always awesome recipes, with health and budget always kept in mind.

T at life of T Great newlywed blog. Writing about recipes, workouts, books and all around newlywed love.
