    celine — December 8, 2009 @ 5:38 AM

    to be honest, i found “you” only 2 days ago. i was captivated by your layout – simple and elegant, simplicity at its best (in my opinion). after going through your archives (almost done) i was drawn by your shots, simply awesome, 100% drool-worthy!

    as far as i am concerned, i have already won by finding you, j & j will be a bonus …..

    GR8MIDWIFE — December 8, 2009 @ 5:40 AM

    I am a cancer sun, meaning food has deep meanings for me and feeding people a way to nurture and love them. This site hits the mark for me! I came to this site because of the name – pioneers are courageous, innovative, committed people which is true by your example.

    Erin — December 8, 2009 @ 9:00 AM

    I just found your site in the last couple weeks and I am smitten! I love that you have such a wide variety of recipes (a few sections specifically for low carb, low fat, and plain old eating healthy). I really like that you add the nutritional information for your recipes and would like all of them to have that information, as well as a picture. Sometimes my mind can’t envision what the final result of a recipe will look like. If I can see it and it looks delicious I am that much more likely to try it out, even when it includes something I’m a bit leery of. :)

  101. 101

    I love the variety of recipes you post (crud, I just saw that the last poster wrote the exact same thing – I guess a lot of us like that!). Lately your creative endeavors with puff pastry have really been some of my favorites. Thanks – and Merry Christmas!

  104. 104

    Stacey — December 8, 2009 @ 9:13 AM

    I love how you make each and every one of these recipes possible for “non” cooks like myself. They are so easy to follow. I absolutely LOVE the look of your site. It’s so much fun. Thank you!

    Jen Schall — December 8, 2009 @ 9:18 AM

  106. 106

    Carla — December 8, 2009 @ 9:21 AM

    This is my first time visiting your blog. What I love is how you have a real layout and not some blog template. I’m a multimedia graduate so it matters to me! As far as content, I love the cooking for two section (goat cheese ravioli – yum my favorite cheese) bc there are times I cook just for myself and like to have some leftovers.

  107. 107

    Kate @ Savour Fare — December 8, 2009 @ 9:27 AM

    I like how cheerful you are. Seriously — all of your recipes have that “can do” attitude.

  108. 108

    LilSis — December 8, 2009 @ 9:36 AM

    I really love everything about your site. I don’t think you’ve ever posted a recipe that I didn’t want to make. And, of course, I’ll be yet another to say that your photos are always beautiful.

    I was just talking to my sister last night on the phone about your amazing Chocolate Peanut Butter Snowballs that you just posted.

    I also love when you photograph your table decor before your dinner parties. They’re always beautiful.

    I can’t wait to see what you’re going to do next if you’re planning a facelift for your blog.

    I really like the oraganization of your recipe files. It was easy for me to find your themed parties. I also like the cleaness of your blog, not a lot of extraneous things cluttering it up. Your recipes are great and I do forward them on to my daughter as a hint that she, as a young newlywed, can cook (even though she doesn’t like it) very easily. As a side note, I read Julie & Julia a few years ago and eagerly awaited the movies release. It lived up to my expectations and I hope that I can win the DVD. Thank you.

    I love your photos … I keep trying to cozy up to my screen to eat them! You’ve outdone yourself with the red velvet cookies.

    Your photos are amazing and make me have the odd urge to make things that are horrible for my diet (like kahlua brownies)!

    Honestly I just love your recipes. There isn’t one that I’ve tried that my family hasn’t loved. You have good directions, etc… I read a lot of cooking blogs but this site is my favorite.

    What I appreciate about your website is that you arent afraid to talk about the cooking failures. You tell the truth so that we dont waste time attempting a recipe that is a disaster. That (in my trawling through cooking blogs) is an unusual event. Most of the time you only hear of the triumphs……

    I only just found your blog via the baker’s dozen cookies, so I’d have to say that I liked the photos you posted with the recipe along with the suggestion to use a food processor to mix them!
