I love seeing every milestone on my blog! It’s like the little engine that could!
Who would have thought that way back in September of 2008 I would be getting comments and so many visitors. When I look back on older posts, I realized that pretty much only my family was reading and commenting for the first few months!
It took me six months to reach 40,000 page views, in which my lovely Tony posted a guest post. Go ahead and read it, I’ll wait! 😀
And now I’ve reached another 100,000 in four months. I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who takes time out of there day to see what I make, see Hannah grow up and share my life with Tony. It really means a lot to me that so many enjoy my little hobby! 😀
So let’s get on with the giveaway loot! My wonderful friend at Cabot Cheese has graciously offered their $60 cheese package! Not only do you get to sample their 50% and 75% reduced fat cheese, you also get a two pound block of their award winning Vermont Cheddar Cheese! 😀
You know how I loves the cheese! What I love about Cabot’s reduced fat cheese is that I don’t feel like I am being cheated – it tastes just as good as the full fat stuff. Please bear in mind that this will ship when the temperatures cool down a bit, so you may need to be patient on this. 😀
But wait, there’s more! I love Eating Well magazine because it uses real ingredients, nothing too fancy, just good clean food. So I will be giving away this cookbook!
And what’s better than one cookbook, but two?! I found this one at my Library and loved that it had simple, straight forward recipes:
But wait . . . there is more! Who wants four jars of my baja fresh salsa??!! I know dozens of you have made it, but if you haven’t yet, now is your chance to get it!
Here is my picture way back from 2008 – I think I’ve learned a couple things about taking photography these last almost two years!
Once canned, it will last up to a year or more. But I doubt it will even get you to the end of summer. Each year I say I am going to can more for the winter, but usually by December I am all out. I’ve been known to grill in December though to make more!
To win, simply leave me a comment. It doesn’t matter what it is. You can leave a comment telling me about your favorite cheese, what your last favorite thing you cooked, or maybe your most requested recipe to make for family gatherings – I’ll leave it up to you! I’ll pick a winner on Monday, July 25. Good luck!
I am tired – I didn’t get home from theB-52’s concert until 11:30 last night. I’ll leave you with a few pics – have a great day!

Wow what a fantastic giveaway!
I’ve recently decided I have to get serious again about weight loss (its been a start and stop and start thing this year) , but when I got on the scale this morning I was really unhappy with what I saw. I will be back more and more to pick up some of your recipes and ideas – I just love some that I’ve seen (and will be trying soon).
I just loved the pita recipe I just caught (in the google reader scroll) and will be looking to see if I have all the ingredients this afternoon. I already have a great pizza stone that hasn’t seen enough use lately (thinking it needed to be retired while on a diet).
Thanks for all that you share with us ……… but then again that is part of why you are at such a high milestone – you just make us what to come back more and more.
congrats on all those hits!!! and what a terrific giveaway. i think it reflects your blog perfectly.
i happened across your blog a few weeks ago and i have loved every post, your pics always look so inviting, keep up the good work!!!
Congratulations! Your blog is always so much fun to look at, and what a generous giveaway!
Congrats on such a big milestone. And what an awesome giveaway. You really know how to celebrate, huh!
Extremely sorry I did not understand that I have to host for Week #88 Jul 19th to Jul 25th till Jac sent a mail. Can you please add the BSI ingredient: Onion.
OMG you have friends at Cabot Cheese?! I want friends from there!! Lucky lady! What a great giveaway and many congrats on 300,000 page views – woo!
And thanks again for the spicy spaghetti pie recipe and all of those fabuous cook books – i’m going to make SO MANY from them – can’t wait!
Hi Biz
I am back from Vacay! That is why you have not heard from me in a while. My favorite cheese is always a good sharp cheddar and just last night I found out my hubby’s fave is pepperjack! I learn something new about him everyday still after 17 years fo marriage! Wow that food at the concert looked so yummy! Have a great weekend, I will send my 101DOS update tomorrow. Robin
Congrats on your milestone.
and ummm…yum…cheese. 🙂 I was telling my hubby yesterday, if I had to live off of one food for the rest of my life it would be cheese. (I know..I shouldve name a fruit or veggie, but man I love my cheese)
I think if that Cabot shipped in the heat we’ve been getting in the northeast and midatlantic area, it would be Cheez Whiz by the time it arrived!
You know… I read this post thinking “oh, that’s nice” as you announced each component of the prize, but once you got to your homemade baja salsa, my fingers couldn’t type this fast enough!
Congrats on hitting 300,000!
What an awesome giveaway! Cabot cheese is awesome!! Your salsa looks absolutely delicious!
wow what an awesome give-away I would love those cookbooks:)
WOW! 300,000 is a lot! Congrats on the big blog milestone. I’ve been doing my part to get you to 400,000 in no time 😉
I love Cabot cheese and love looking down on the Cabot farms when I’m out on my snowmobile in the winter. I’ve never made your salsa but would love to try it.
Congrats on both the page view milestone AND getting to see the B-52s!!! Fun!
Favorite last thing I cooked was fresh salmon on the grill last weekend. I think my kids would have voted for my husband’s potato bread instead. 😉
Thanks for sharing your food, fun, and family with us all, Biz! You’ve got a wonderful and not-so-little anymore part of the web here!
Congratulations Biz! You have one of the best, most fun-to-read blogs out there, and I am so glad we have become friends! Love you – now off to go read my email. 😉
