What a way to make a girl’s day, or weekend… The super talented Foodie over at Fab & Delicious Food gave me the following award on Friday:

How awesome is that?!  She then proceeded to go through why she liked my blog and why it was “worthy” of the award here.  She is incredibly thoughtful and an amazing blogger, so I really highly encourage you to check out her blog as soon as your done reading this one.  She provides great food reviews, even better daily commentary, and delicious meal ideas that are super easy to replicate.  I was super excited and definitely couldn’t wait to pass on the award, so before I do that, here are the rules:

1. Post the award on your blog
2. Link to me for giving it to you
3. Link the originating post here
4. Pass it on to five deserving people
5. Post these rules for your recipients

• Care To Eat
  • These ladies, Andrea & Erin, have such a great blog going on!  Their witty posts crack me up nearly every time I read each post.  Their colorful meals & snacks keep me reading every day – I mean, really, who could resist their yummy pictures of trail mix assortments?!
• Fitnessista
  • The Fitnessista is truly a fitness role model.  Not only does she come up with amazing meal ideas (breakfast cookie, anyone?) she also runs in races AND teaches a variety of fitness classes.  If you are looking for inspiration, go check out her blog and I guarantee you you’ll be up and exercising in no time!
• Running With Food
  • Running With Food has become one of my new favorite blogs.  I’m so happy I discovered her blog because every single meal or snack is unique and original (and quite easy to replicate) and is presented beautifully!  She truly has not just great ideas, but I think she has amazing photo-taking skills as well.  I love reading her blog, not just because she’s super nice, but also because it gives me great ideas for meals that not only I would enjoy, but my husband would enjoy also!
• Life According To Mrs. LC
  • Mrs. LC and I recently discovered that we have SO much in common:  same name, recently married, and similar interests!  Go check her out if you want to find yummy meal ideas and interesting stories (frog in an edamame bag – ugh!).  I especially loved her recent post on the Double Chocolate cookie, which she baked with her mom.
• Hangry Pants
  • Who can resist Hangry Pants since it contains posts from two amazing blog authors:  She Says (Heather) and He Says (Mark).  They challenge themselves to new challenges whether it’s eating foods without HFCS OR real foods for periods of time.  I love reading their blog because it reminds me of the relationship that my husband and I have!
