My blog is designed for people who mostly just cook for themselves. I find that a lot of people in that situation don't treat themselves well enough with delicious food. These are fast, easy and usually healthy recipes I've come up with or found.

Describe the main purpose of your blogging, what are you trying to accomplish?

I am sharing my experiences cooking with people who are in the same situation as I am. I love to try new recipes and take pictures as I cook, and my blog is a way for my to express that.

Give five of your best blogging tips.

1. Pictures! Pictures help tell convey the message. With a cooking blog they are especially important, so people can get an idea of what the food is SUPPOSED to look like.

2. Personal anecdotes are always nice.

3. I like to throw in humor.

4. Link, link, link. If I say "julienned carrots" in my blog, I'll link to a definition of julienned, for example.

5. Keep it short. I don't always follow that rule, but it's an important one.

What are some things you would NEVER blog about?

I would never blog about my sex life (unless it was an anonymous blog).

Did you start blogging for the purpose of making money and if so, are you making enough money?

No

For about a year.
