The Best Homemade Peanut Brittle
When I started this blog I had no idea what I was doing. I used my cell phone to take pictures in our dark basement after my son went to bed. And I spent what felt like a lifetime learning and researching how to make blogging my full-time job, because I quickly realized how happy it made me!
I am still learning and growing as a food blogger. I am learning something new every day. Sometimes I can apply it to the future and sometimes I have to go back and re-do things. Blogging is all of my favorite things – challenging, creative, planning, and evolving.
I wouldn’t be living this dream without you guys! I am so grateful for your continued support! As I sit back and take in the holiday season, I will be toasting to you with a cup of Hot Cocoa in one hand and a Sugar Cookie in the other!
