You made me think about food and flavors much differently than I ever had before.<BR/><BR/>Because so many of your recipes are quite healthy (and you can easily make substitutions to make them lower fat/calorie)you also became my go-to place to help keep my diet interesting.In 6 1/2 months I have lost 53 lbs.<BR/><BR/>My husband (and his coworkers when they come for dinner)always rave about the recipes I pick from your site.There has not been ONE dud in the mix. None of us cared for the cinnamon chip fudge but it made the house smell so good on Christmas that I would make it again just for that,lol.<BR/><BR/>Because my hubby does love your food so much;this site was obviously my first stop when I needed to send him (and since then,to other guys)goodies when he deployed to Iraq.I would actually send 4-5 different kinds of treats and we would have taste tests.<BR/><BR/>This was actually international as hubby would share snacks and stories w/ other coalition soldiers and of course the Iraqis he worked w/. They would in turn have their wives make their own specialties and share.Food really IS a common bond!<BR/><BR/>In regards to my hubby's job, I have always been known as "the cookie lady".It doesn't matter what I make, I am known for cookies,lol.You are one of the few other people I have known that makes it a ritual.So I felt a kinship immediately w/ your wednesday treat days.I just did it when hubby was flying around the world or sitting an alert shift (lock-up for 2-3 days).<BR/><BR/>More than that; your site has become such a constant in my life.It's one of my favorite stops every day when I sign on.I found you very comforting when I had to cook for "my boys" after a heartbreaking situation.Your recipes were ,luckily, pulled out for many more celebrations.You have just "been there" for almost 3 years and you will never know how much I appreciate the work you put into this.Once again, thank you.MissesHayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10651948606347209989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-78222642983325355722008-07-08T12:12:00.000-04:002008-07-08T12:12:00.000-04:00Congrats on three years of AWESOME blogging!
