When I started my blog almost a year ago, I never thought that I would be participating in a challenge to discover the next food blog star. This first challenge: to define myself as a blogger and make it clear why I have what it takes to be the next food blog star. To answer those questions, I return to why I started this blog in the first place. I wanted to share my passion for food with my son and introduce him to the world beyond the “children’s menu.”
September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month so for this month’s 24×24 event, Foodbuzz partnered with Electrolux to help raise money for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. In addition to sending money to the 24 selected Featured Publishers to host an event, they matched our event stipend to make a donation of $250 in each of our names to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (that’s a $6,000 donation!). My event, themed Tapas For a Cure, highlighted super foods and cancer-fighting ingredients in a variety of savory and sweet tapas.
