NEWS & UPDATES
For all those who have not gone to my “new” recipe food blog “The Recipe Weekly” I invite you to stop by today and peruse the recipes and articles. It is still under development, but I’m excited at how the background theme seems to be just perfect for  a recipe blog and The Recipe Weekly– and  the response through the viewership of The Recipe Weekly has been awesome thus far. At The Recipe Weekly you will find recipes, cooking tips, health and nutrition information and articles, and giveaways from time to time too!  Sign-up for updates while visiting my food blog.
http://www.therecipeweekly.com Having been a food blogger and recipe developer for ten years on The Lowfat Weekly, I had the opportunity to interview doctors, nurses, even Eggland’s Best Nutritionist, and I am bringing all this information over time to The Recipe Weekly. Read more about The Recipe Weekly by clicking here.
To submit a recipe to The Recipe Weekly for possible publication on the website send your Tried & True Recipes to:
recipesubmission [at] therecipeweekly [dot] com.
If your recipe is chosen,  we will contact you for a photo of the dish, or you making it, and details on submission.
Now to the questions Alex wanted us to answer…
and don’t forget to hop on over to someone else’s blog on the list below, after you leave mine.
My favorite genre of movies: Romance –  My favorite movies of all are comedic romance and second would be western romances.
Favorite genre music: Country – Country music is definitely my favorite genre of music. I always feel that the words in country music hit home.
Favorite book genre: Romance – Romance novels of course! When I want to step-away from reality a little bit, romance novels are definitely a pleasure.
Guilty pleasure: Hmm! I’m not telling!!! Tee-Hee! My downfall is sweets…especially chocolate. For me sitting down with a couple of candy bars and a good romance novel or movie is the ultimate in guilty pleasure!
What’s yours?  Let me hear below favorite movie, music, book, and guilty pleasure genre.
Now start commenting!
 

Friday check back to see who won my swag pack for the blogfest and at the Mama Diaries giveaway!
Hugs,
-Virginia
