So, I started jogging.

That’s my big confession.  Not much of a confession, you say?  Ok, here’s my confession:  I can’t jog.  Not good enough for you?  Well, I can’t do push-ups either.  Not one.  Not even the girlie kind on my knees.  I don’t like to tell people that because as far as I can tell, I’m pretty much the only person in the world who can’t even do one measly push-up.

Are you suffering from a bitter taste in the back of your mouth every time you eat or drink?  Has it lasted for more than a day?  Are you starting to worry that perhaps there’s something terribly wrong with you?  Don’t worry, it’s probably not a brain tumor.  Perhaps pine nuts are the culprit!

Bon Appétit has created a slideshow featuring mouthwatering holiday recipes from some of their favorite food blogs.  I am absolutely thrilled to be one of the bloggers chosen for their first Blog Envy slideshow and if you go check it out, you’ll see why.  The slideshow contains photos and links to holiday recipes from some of my all-time favorite bloggers! I hope you’ll take the time to explore them all.

Now what are you waiting for?  Check it out now!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful day full of food, fun, and family. I’m in central California and spent Thanksgiving at my grandparents house with my husband, dad, sister, aunts, uncles, tons of cousins, and of course my grandma and grandpa. We had a full house and a huge meal (two turkeys!) and I’m just now escaping my turkey coma. Today will be the one day this month that you’re not going to get a recipe or photo out of me, but I’ll be back tomorrow! Now it’s time to go sneak one more slice of pie. Good night!

The winner of this beautiful 9-inch knife from New West KnifeWorks is Adam, whose favorite thing to eat over the holidays is Mac and Cheese.  Congratulations, Adam! Continue reading →

At least I hope everything is back to normal.  If you’re just tuning in, this post will explain everything.

I think I have all of the recipes restored now and the knife contest is officially starting over.  Please visit the original post and leave a new comment if you would like to be in the drawing for the 9-inch chef’s knife from New West KnifeWorks.

Those of you subscribed to Pinch My Salt through an RSS feed or via e-mail, you will probably receive extra copies of several of my posts.  Sorry!  Everything will be back to normal starting tomorrow and hopefully it will seem like all of this was just a bad dream.

(Now scroll down for lots of yummy food!)

Some of you might have noticed that the last eleven days worth of blog posts/recipes have completely disappeared from Pinch My Salt.  Due to human error at my web hosting provider, the last eleven days of my blog have been completely erased.  I will obviously be switching to a new provider soon, please let me know if you have any recommendations.
