I’m still new to blogging and I’m pretty bad about posting regularly… I vow to try to work hard on that! I take the pictures and tweak the recipes and have the best of intentions, yet seem to slack when it comes to actually sharing. You would think I was never taught to share or something! 🙂
Today, I have finally decided upon my links for the 7 links challenge that fati from fati’s recipes tagged me in. On a side note, fati has a really fun approach to food and has entertaining and mouth watering posts, so go ahead and check out their blog. So, the challenge is to look back among all the posts you’ve made thus far and publish your own links based on the following 7 categories, using one link per category (sort of like an award show where you’re the host presenting your own selections):
- The most beautiful post
- The most popular post
- The most controversial post
- The most helpful post
- The post that was surprisingly successful
- The post that did not get the attention it deserved
- The post I am most proud of
You then choose up to 5 other bloggers to tag and pass the challenge on to. And so, without further ado, on to my selections!
The most beautiful post: It’s a Julia Child recipe, so that must mean it’s elegant, which means it must be beautiful! I love the layers and contrasting colors of this dish and it really is just pretty to look at, as well as tasty! Eggplant Zucchini Gratin
The most popular post: A super delicious, super chocolatey cookie! Thick and Chewy Triple Chocolate Cookies
The most controversial post: Like most food bloggers, I don’t have any controversial posts, but kimchi is such a love/hate sort of food so I’m going to say Korean Stir-Fried Beef with Kimchi
The most helpful post:I haven’t done anything super helpful yet I’d say, although I do have a couple step by step how-to’s that I’m working on. But taking a time-consuming dish and simplifying it seems helpful, so the post I chose is Skillet Lasagna
The post that was surprisingly successful: It was my first post, yet it is almost my most popular post. Yes, they are damn good, I’m just surprised that a first post could do so well! Chocolate Cupcakes with Baileys Buttercream
The post that did not get the attention it deserved: Chocolate Cream Pie is aamaazing! And this recipe is aamaaazing! And it was quite overlooked, despite it’s chocolate yumminess!
The post I am most proud of: I know carrot cake recipes are a dime a dozen, but I love these Carrot Cupcakes, and everyone I have made them for has had rave reviews. They’ve even been said to be better than cupcake shop carrot cupcakes, which makes me super happy to hear!
I’m only going to tag three bloggers, but I hope they will participate because I would love to see what they’d share!
Christina from Sweet Pea’s Kitchen
Amy from Elephant’s Eats
Geni from Sweet & Crumby
I hope you enjoyed learning a little more about my blog, and come back to visit soon! Happy eats! 🙂

Thanks! Boozy cupcakes are always a hit! 🙂 Thank you for stopping by!
I’m really glad to see you’ve put this up! 😀
Was reading the post and nodding….. choc cup cakes and cookies are amazing and deserve the title you’ve given them. I’m yet to cook them, in fact, I think I’m making the cupcakes this weekend in celebration of Eid.
And please note my comment on that pie which received little attention. I am giving it all my attention and love. It really does deserve it – if only half the ladies here weren’t on a “diet”… I would’ve made it and had a ladies morning tea 😀
Thank you so much for the wonderful summary of my humble blog.
Looking forward to a whole heap of new recipes on your site! 🙂
Well thank you so much for tagging me! It was fun looking through my posts and taking the time to actually think it all through. And thank you paying attention to the chocolate cream pie 🙂 It was way too neglected considering how tasty it is!
I hope you get a chance to make the cupcakes and enjoy them! The feast you’re cooking up looks incredible! Good luck with your classes and I hope you find the time to keep posting more delicious recipes and amusing posts!
What a great way to catch up with your blog!! I do agree with you, the eggplant zucchini gratin is such a beautiful post!!! Also, the cupcakes post was wonderful!

It was great to see your selections! I love all of your cupcake posts– I can never get enough cupcakes so that’s right up my alley! The chocolate and Bailey’s cupcakes delicious! I can’t wait to try these! The chocolate cream pie looks so good too– one of my all time favorite desserts! I’ll have to try your recipe!
Thanks for stopping by! Cupcakes are pretty awesome, and anything chocolate, of course! Let me know what you think, if you try anything 🙂
Great 7 links!! I would love to try the skillet lasagna!! yummy!
Thanks! You gotta love shortcuts, especially for something like lasagna!
What a great list! And thinking of a controversial post is hard for food blogs on the whole 🙂
Haha, yeah, unless you post about which is better: cake or pie. That might cause some debates right there 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks so much for passing the challenge on to me! I love the yummy recipes that you chose. Those carrot cupcakes are calling my name! lol 🙂
Thanks! And I can’t wait to see what you post as your links!
All the the links are fabulous! I love most the Triple Chocolate Cookies, so tempting…
