The Goods
Blogging is a funny world. If you’re in it, you know what I’m talking about. No doubt it’s an unconventional way to make a living and as flexible as the job can be, so many of us struggle daily to find balance. Food blogging is primarily female and on it’s best day, we’re a bunch of women supporting one another in hopes to see each other succeed. At it’s worst, it’s like returning to high school and all your insecurities and inadequacies are front and center. I feel so fortunate to be part of a local community of food bloggers that I trust and have come to love. I’ve made some dear, dear friends on this crazy blogging ride and today I give a shout out to them; these ladies are The Goods in human form… like really, really the goods.
Annalise is the sweet soul behind Completely Delicious and the day before my birthday she showed up with this adorable personal sized apple pie. She remembered it’s my favorite and hot damn it was good. Thank you, sweet friend, it made my day!
Plastic + microwave freaks me out. I’m on a mission to replace all the plastic tupperware in my kitchen with glass storage. I’m thinking either this set or maybe this one.
Would it be weird if I told you I liked the screen when I saw these beauties on Facebook? I think it’s the sugar cravings talking.
Good thing I saw this gorg recipe right after. Way more up my detox alley.
My best gal doing what she does best: being pretty. Could you just eat her face? Her grey beard gets me every time.
There is a small part of me that will always be a hippie at heart. Don’t worry, I draw the line at hairy pits and wearing patchouli.
No Leprechauns, No Valentine’s, No Elves why that is Okay. Man I heart this woman.
This has single handily saving me this week. #bythespoonful
Powder days are good for the soul. #truth
Happy first day of spring. If it’s no difference to you, I’m still hoping for a little more winter weather before it turns warm for good. Don’t hate.
I’m obsessed.
Talk to me about Tieks? Are they really worth it?
You’re never too old to have your mom make you a birthday cake. Even if you did bully her into making it….

Really enjoyed todays “Goods” and your faithful canine is just adorable. I have a chocolate lab and she goes most places with me, she’s the best companion.
The BEST. I love her so much it hurts.
She’s a cutie. I love dogs and more than most people. Keep smiling and keep your chin up.
Ha! Me and you both! Thanks of the kind comment!
Happy Birthday, and thanks for the berry buns mention 😉
Happy Birthday (a few days late) too!
Those berry buns and the sriracha chicken sound awesome. Happy Birthday and great links. That article by Mom Explores Michigan is spot on.
Spot on, isn’t it? Have a great weekend, Becky!
Aww, thanks for the shout-out! So glad you enjoyed the pie and hope you had a great birthday!!
So sweet of you to mention my article. I really appreciate it. Beautiful blog! Can’t wait to try some of your recipes.
I LOVED what you had to say. It couldn’t have come at a better time. Have a great weekend, Brooke!!
Happy belated birthday! And that face is GORGEOUS indeed 😉 She’s a beaut.
She’s the best. So darn sweet 🙂
Happy belated birthday!
I loved the way you described blogging. So true!
It can be like Mean Girls sometimes but in the end it’s worth it!
I hear you–some of my closest friends are fellow food bloggers! Happy belated!
Thanks, Lauren. Have a great weekend!!
Glad you had a nice birthday! Food blogging is a crazy job, but I really can’t complain since I met you via the food blog world! You are the goods my friend! And Tieks…totally in love! You need a pair! You can try mine on:)
Have a great weekend, Maria!
Happy belated! I’m a pisces-first day of spring-baby too. I loved this edition of the Goods. I have also tried to rid our tupperware of plastic and love this collection. It’s affordable, stacks easily, and washes easily. I use these pieces almost exclusively. Plus, you can use them in the freezer too!
