Celebrating 3 Years with CAKE
Today I’m celebrating a 3 year blog birthday! RecipeGirl.com has been up and running for a good 4 1/2 years, but the blog itself debuted Jan. 1, 2008. Here’s my very first attempt at a post- pretty pathetic, but I did manage to nab 4 comments. It’s been three wonderful years of experimenting with food, sharing it with readers, and getting to know a fabulous community of food bloggers and writers. Many lifelong friends have been made in the process.
I decided to celebrate by making a cake- one that had been recommended to me by Lindsay from Love & Olive Oil. She’s a good person to know… she has a delicious blog and she is one of the most talented web designers out there. And she’s a twitterer too. Lindsay recommended a chocolate layer cake with raspberry filling. Sounded good to me.
The husband wondered why we were putting candles on the cake, and looked at me a little strange when I tried to explain about the blog birthday. That’s when I realized that this is something that only a food blogger would understand and appreciate… the hard work that goes into writing a blog week after week for three long years… the darn thing deserves a little celebration once a year, right?
This cake happens to turn out moist and delicious and rich. It’s very chocolatey with a thick layer of chocolate ganache frosting and a surprise layer of raspberry filling tucked inside. This cake is one that is pretty irresistible to chocolate lovers. I know this because I’m not a chocolate lover myself… yet I found myself stealing bites of my husband’s slice after I demolished my own.
The recipe for this cake can be found here: Double Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Filling. It’s definitely a nice choice for a celebration.
Happy 3 years to this ‘ol blog here. I hope you will continue to visit and enjoy

I just found your site within the last month, so I haven’t done much surfing of your site since I found it during the holidays. What I like so far is the ease of finding recipes and the pictures. I check this blog almost everyday, Happy blogging for the next year.

I love the recipes on the site – especially the kaluha chocolate chip cookies, brown butter snickerdoodles, and pb and chocolate swirl cookies. Love how they have a little twist on the usual! 
Avanika (Yumsilicious Bakes) — January 3, 2011 @ 7:07 AM
Happy Blogoversary! the cake looks fantastic! I’d love for the recipes to be on the same page.. when I bookmark them, I always have to click through and it would be more convenient to have them here!
Jenna Renee' — January 3, 2011 @ 7:14 AM
I love how when you make a recipe you post the pictures of the finish products but also that you sometimes post picture by picture of what you do throughout the process! I think that can be a big help
Love the site!

whatmegansmaking — January 3, 2011 @ 7:19 AM
wow, that icing…I could eat it by the spoonful. And actually, my favorite thing about your site is your upbeat attitude. You just seem like a really nice person!
Like some previous commenters said, I’d probably prefer the recipes on the same page as your post, but it’s not a big deal.
Kathy - Panini Happy — January 3, 2011 @ 7:20 AM
A three-year blogiversary definitely deserves a beautiful chocolate cake (and I’m not just saying that because I’ll be celebrating mine in 11 days
). My favorite aspect of RecipeGirl.com are the recipes themselves!

I actually really love your blogging “voice”. It’s so fun to read your blog.
Danielle — January 3, 2011 @ 7:24 AM
I love that you include photos with every recipe. I’m a visual person and that really helps me decide whether or not I’d like the end result (and it also lets me know if mine looks anything like it’s supposed to!).
Noelle — January 3, 2011 @ 7:24 AM
I can;t wait to see the redesign! Happy Blogiversary! I totally get the candle thing! Let me see. I would like to see more steps to each recipe. I think your photos are magnificent, but a few more would be awesome!

Happy Anniversary RecipeGirl Blog. I love your Crockpot recipes. My husband and I both work – often late, it is nice to come home to a ready meal, and not have fatty -overpriced take-out food. I look for new Crockpot recipes often as I do not want to become bored with my Crockpot recipes.

Happy 3rd Birthday, RecipeGirl.com & Lori! It seems like yesterday you took on this venture and I am still amazed every day with all your new ideas & recipes! RG is my #1 food site to go to, and many times when my hubby says, “We need to fix something different for dinner tonight” I just pull up your site and let him look at the pictures & choose! EVERYTHING is so delicious & I have total trust that whatever I make, with following your easy step by step recipe, it will turn out a hit! (guess your teacher background is still paying off!) Excited to see your continued success, Lori!

I love the pictures, your sense of humor, and the easy way the recipes you choose come together. I don’t comment much – for which I apologize, but I’ve used plenty of your recipes. You are awesome! keep up the good work!
Erika J — January 3, 2011 @ 10:28 AM
Happy Three Years!
I have only recently stumbled upon your site, but I love the variety of recipes you have and the beautiful photos to accompany them!
Julie — January 3, 2011 @ 10:28 AM
I love the great pictures! They really entice me to try your recipes, which by the way, are also awesome.
jillian — January 3, 2011 @ 10:30 AM
I love your recipes and photos! Congrats!
Emily — January 3, 2011 @ 10:31 AM
I always appreciate the sheer enthusiasm you bring to your posts and the recipes you share. I really enjoy reading about someone’s experience with a recipe/dish, and they trying it on my own. You are a high class blogger!!
Hallie — January 3, 2011 @ 10:33 AM
I love your recipes and your archives. As for improvements…I don’t know…maybe some new “healthy” recipes for those of us on the weight loss train in 2011. Although…that cake looks kinds of amazing, not going to lie…
Hello Kimmy — January 3, 2011 @ 10:35 AM
I love all the recipes on your site. It is fun seeing a new one pop up in my rss reader.
As for improvements… just more instructional photos/tips. You know, showing recipe steps in photos as you progress.
The site is great though. Lots of information and an easy to navigate layout.
Dawn — January 3, 2011 @ 10:38 AM
What I love about your blog are the Theme Party Menus…keep up the great work
NeCole — January 3, 2011 @ 10:40 AM
I love how you simplify even the most decadent recipes so that those of us with less cooking expertise aren’t intimidated by them.
Helen — January 3, 2011 @ 10:43 AM
Happy Birthday!! Love the recipes I have gotten from here! The chocolate cake looks scrumptious !!!
Andrea Meyers — January 3, 2011 @ 10:53 AM
Congrats Lori! You are right, food blogging is a lot of work, but you’ve done very well.
Melissa — January 3, 2011 @ 11:02 AM
Favorite thing is obviously the recipes! Maybe more low cal/low sugar recipes for the future!
AppleTree — January 3, 2011 @ 11:02 AM
Right now, I really appreciate that chocolate cake…Beautiful.
Andie — January 3, 2011 @ 11:05 AM
Love the blog! Do wish that the full RSS feed was available in google reader, though!
Manette — January 3, 2011 @ 11:15 AM
Your photography is great-I would like to sink my teeth into that chocolate-raspberry cake now:) Congrats on your anniversary! My list is wishful for Sur la Table
Dawn C. — January 3, 2011 @ 11:17 AM
I like the variety of your recipes and the fantastic photos to go along with them. I also like the lay-out of your blog; it’s very inviting. But I’m sure the site will be just as fantastic.
Happy birthday and thanks for all the great recipes!!!
Mandy Kirk — January 3, 2011 @ 11:19 AM
Wow that cake looked divine! I too would have to say that I will the full feed was available in google reader, but love it otherwise!
MamaFeelgood — January 3, 2011 @ 11:28 AM
I don’t think there is any one thing I like. I have made some great meals thanks to you though. Keep it uP!
Lana — January 3, 2011 @ 11:29 AM
Happy birthday to your blog, Lori! I have been reading it for a long time, even before we moved to SoCal. Your photos are beautiful, your recipes work, and I always enjoy your entertainment tips and party menus.
Here is to many more blog posts! Happy New Year!
Jodi — January 3, 2011 @ 11:54 AM
Happy Birthday to your blog! There’s a lot to love, but at the top of the list, for me, is your voice/tone. I feel like one of my girlfriends is talking to me about her kitchen adventures. Love that!
Grant — January 3, 2011 @ 11:54 AM
I like your taste in food! And thought your cover recipe series was a great idea. I’d rather not have the recipes a separate link from the blog entry though. Congrats on making 3 years! That’s a great accomplishment.
Lisa — January 3, 2011 @ 11:56 AM
The thing I love most about this blog are the recipes! They are actually recipes that I would (and do) make.
Haley — January 3, 2011 @ 11:56 AM
First off, Happy 3rd Birthday!
What I like best about the RecipeGirl site is how organized the recipes are & how simple it is to find one. If I am looking for a dessert, I click dessert, but then it narrows my search even more! I love this!
Life is much simpler with the Cooking for Two search or the Quick & Easy…
Keep it up!
Rana — January 3, 2011 @ 12:01 PM
I love the variety of recipes you post and your photos are fabulous!!
Mellisa W — January 3, 2011 @ 12:01 PM
I apprecite your cheerfulness. Thanks and congratulations.
Lisa — January 3, 2011 @ 12:03 PM
I actually love your presence on Twitter. I have your blog in my Reader but sometimes what I see on Twitter gets me over here more quickly!
kayceebeebee — January 3, 2011 @ 12:18 PM
I follow you on my google reader and love the photos and recipe varieties. Congrats on 3 years.
Susan J — January 3, 2011 @ 12:21 PM
Congrats on 3 years!
I love all your photos. I really can’t think of anything I’d like to add or improve. I’m sure as the blog owner there’s lots you’d like to re-do or add, but I love the blog regardless.
Jeannie K — January 3, 2011 @ 12:30 PM
Happy 3rd birthday! I just discovered recipe blogs about 2 months ago and love them. Recipe Girl is one of my favorites…I love your photos! Thanks for all the recipes!
Angela — January 3, 2011 @ 12:31 PM
I love RG! I love the extensive variety of recipes on the site and that you site the sources you refer to or adapt from. I would like to see more comments about the recipes from readers that have tried them. I am not sure whether this feature is supported by the site. I find readers’ comments helpful for things I have never tried before. You are definitely one of my favorite recipe sites, hands down! Happy Cooking! Angela
Rachel — January 3, 2011 @ 12:34 PM
I like the friendly tone of your writing. And I love that photo of cake! Mmmm, chocolate!
food librarian — January 3, 2011 @ 12:35 PM
Hey Lori, Congratulations! You have an awesome blog and website. I don’t know how you do it all and raise a family! You are just incredible. Wishing you a Happy New Year! Let me know if you come up to LA – mary

Kathy E. — January 3, 2011 @ 1:05 PM
Besides the amazing photography, I really like your Healthy Dinner ideas/recipes that you share. Having the nutritional data with each really helps those that are (or should be) watching their weight. Thanks for all you do!
Christy — January 3, 2011 @ 1:10 PM
Congrats on 3 years, that’s great. I love your recipes.
Kimmy Kimster — January 3, 2011 @ 1:14 PM
Oh Recipe Girl! I found your site a few days ago when Holly Clegg posted a link on her website/blog. I have not yet closed the page! Such awesome recipes! Beautiful food! And it looks delicious. I think tomorrow I will try to make the eggnog scones — for no special reason at all!
Thank you so much for your blog, your ideas and your recipes! YUMMMMMM!
Kelly Orange — January 3, 2011 @ 1:15 PM
Oh, Mr. Recipe Girl…. there’s always a reason to celebrate, but this is one that you’ve put so much energy, creativity and heart into! Thank you
I’m a fan of the gluten free recipes as I have family members & a quite a few friends who are gf, so it’s nice to know I can come here and find a great recipe! Good Job Lori! I can’t think of anything I dislike, but I can’t wait to see a redesign
Danyelle — January 3, 2011 @ 1:17 PM
That cake looks wonderful and happy birthday to your blog.
I like the range of recipes you offer most.
Laura T. — January 3, 2011 @ 1:35 PM
Congrats, I’ve been reading you for about a year now. If I had to choose something to change about the website, I would consider making the recipes more printer-friendly.
Thanks!
Carrie — January 3, 2011 @ 1:44 PM
I’ve been cleaning out my blogs the last couple of days and this is one I will definitely be keeping. The photos are always great and the recipes are clear. Keep up the good work!
marla — January 3, 2011 @ 1:52 PM
Now this is a very happy birthday post indeed! That cake looks amazing & the photos are wonderful. It is no wonder you took bites of your hubs slice too! I look forward to each & every one of your posts & I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us the next 3 plus years
XO
Great giveaway! I say keep doing everything you are doing.
Sharlene — January 3, 2011 @ 2:06 PM
Congratulations! I’m actually in love with the ancho chili brownies you posted awhile back and have made them multiple times, sometimes just for myself and not to share!
Rachel — January 3, 2011 @ 2:26 PM
Congrats on your 3rd anniversary! I like the site b/c the recipes/pictures are beautiful, but simple enough that I can follow along at home.
jillmc — January 3, 2011 @ 2:29 PM
Congrats on 3 wonderfully successful blogging years! Love your blog-the pictures are always so yummy! Hopefully we will see some healthy, tasty recipes to help us all keep our resolution to be live a more healthy life this year! Thanks for sharing, and all of your hard work!

Truthfully? I love your photography! It is so good that it makes even things I wouldn’t normally like look fantastic
JulieD — January 3, 2011 @ 2:50 PM

One thing I love about the Recipe Girl site is the variety of recipes. I would love to see more recipes that kids can help with
Strawberry Cake — January 3, 2011 @ 3:03 PM

My two best friends and I started a cooking blog this year so I can appreciate having a birthday celebration for your blog. I enjoy reading the various tidbits and creative recipes you post. Keep on posting and we will keep on cooking!
Heather Bell — January 3, 2011 @ 4:03 PM

Gwyn — January 3, 2011 @ 4:18 PM
I love your Healthy recipes, Weight watchers, they are the best. But then myself making all of your recipes, so I guess I love the variety!!
Haniela — January 3, 2011 @ 4:34 PM
I enjoy trying new Healthy Recipes, I also love the variety, side dishes ..that is my favorite, grilling and then desserts. Basically I love it all
Happy Anniversary!
Susie — January 3, 2011 @ 4:57 PM
I love your site and the only improvement I could see is a picture with every recipe. Oh, and brighter colors!
julie — January 3, 2011 @ 5:21 PM
i love how your recipes are so easy to follow!
Ayanna Moore — January 3, 2011 @ 5:28 PM
It took me a second to post because all I could think about was the double chocolate cake you just posted…seriously, it took me awhile to get my mind off of it, guarantee I’ll put it back on;-). Love the site and I can’t get enough recipes so I enjoy it. I lobe that you have so many pics to go along with the recipe itself, not many recipe sites don’t do that so that’s a plus. Keep up the good work and keep ‘em coming!:-)
Heidi — January 3, 2011 @ 5:39 PM
I love the yummy recipes and the beautiful photos. I love pix of food.
Lindsay K — January 3, 2011 @ 5:41 PM
I have loved finding great food blogs but mostly diving into all of yours!! I am obsessed with your Tequila Shrimp Recipe and all of your baked goods!! I really enjoy seeing pictures with recipes. That would be my best tip!
Kathy — January 3, 2011 @ 5:43 PM
I just love all of your photos and yummy recipes!
Jodie — January 3, 2011 @ 5:46 PM
I love that there are so many recipes! The only thing I would change is that I’ve noticed that a few recipes don’t have pictures and I love to see pictures! Thanks!
Tammy — January 3, 2011 @ 6:04 PM
I love that you use fresh food for your recipes – no condensed soup, no box mixes – everything I’ve read seems to start out fresh!
Laura Myers — January 3, 2011 @ 6:06 PM
I like the variety,I enjoy the baked goodies but also enjoy the lower cal recipes too!!
Michelle Abraham — January 3, 2011 @ 6:12 PM
I love your pictures and recipes, I always turn to you for a new idea!
jennifer L — January 3, 2011 @ 6:20 PM
recently found your blog and made your pumpkin gingerbread muffins for Christmas morning. They were a huge hit!! Thank you and keep up the blogging.
Amy Ross — January 3, 2011 @ 6:21 PM
I enjoy the variety of recipes. The one thing I’d change is just that you’d post more often!!!
Patricia — January 3, 2011 @ 6:44 PM
I like the variety of recipes, but the desserts are my favorite.
Jennifer — January 3, 2011 @ 6:49 PM
your cake looks amazing. Happy Blogiversary! I’m new to your site, but looking forward to exploring the recipes!
Erin — January 3, 2011 @ 7:05 PM
All your recipes are something I would want to make! I’d love if your post in readers showed more than just a few sentences!
Maggie — January 3, 2011 @ 7:07 PM
I’ve never come across a recipe that I don’t LOVE! Gotta make this cake ASAP.
Jennifer — January 3, 2011 @ 7:24 PM
It is recipes like this chocolate cake that keep me coming back! Happy blogiversary.
Steph — January 3, 2011 @ 7:36 PM
You have a great selection of recipes and ones like this cake keep me salivating for more! Happy blog birthday’
Renee — January 3, 2011 @ 7:45 PM
Everything I’ve made from your site has been delicious and there are too many to count that I want to make.
Pattyann — January 3, 2011 @ 7:50 PM
I love that you have so many recipes on here!! And most of all I love that I can always find something to make when I browse your pages.
stephanie k — January 3, 2011 @ 7:56 PM
That when I am in a slump on what to make for dinner I can always come here and find something!!
Creative2xmom — January 3, 2011 @ 8:28 PM
I love the recipes. Cooking is a passion and I’m always looking for inspiration.
carolee — January 3, 2011 @ 8:37 PM
I love your organization– the recipe lists are detailed! I dig your low carb section– Thanks!!
jenni — January 3, 2011 @ 8:51 PM
I love the fact that your recipes are very user friendly, and things that I will actually make. Always delicious!
Brittany C. — January 3, 2011 @ 9:07 PM
I used 3 of your fudge recipes this Christmas. SO SO GOOD!!!
susitravl — January 3, 2011 @ 9:10 PM
I find the best recipes here! Most weeks, I try between 3 and 5 new entrees and a couple of side dishes/desserts. I am the cook of the family – but I (seriously) cannot make anything without a recipe. So – thank you!
One thing I really like is that your site is automatically formatted to print the recipe & picture only.
Lisa — January 3, 2011 @ 9:27 PM
First off, happy 3 years!
Secondly, the cake looks like it’s to die for. I’m totally making this! Thank you!
Thirdly, I love all of the recipes and photos you post. I’ve made many and the pictures help because I like to try and recreate your perfections.
P.S.- Great giveaway- I LOVE Sur La Table!
Jeanne Burton — January 3, 2011 @ 9:47 PM
The thing I like about your website is the really easy way I can find recipes via your website’s recipe index – and I can sort via recipe topics if I don’t know exactly what I’m in the mood for…
Yael — January 3, 2011 @ 9:56 PM
Your recipes are great and the format of your blog is easy to read and easy on the eyes!
Shelley Gross — January 3, 2011 @ 10:10 PM
Posting more often would be nice
Love the blog~
Theresa — January 3, 2011 @ 11:15 PM
Happy Anniversary, and wishes for many more!
Today, I love the picture of that chocolate cake – it looks extremely fudgy, and that’s the best kind of chocolate cake there is.
What I would do to improve the site would be to make the print option more text and photo, and remove the links in the margins. Instead of printing, I save the recipes and pics in the RecipeGirl file on my desktop, and it would save me a lot of editing if the only thing that showed up in the print preview was the recipe and pic.
Suzie — January 3, 2011 @ 11:29 PM
Congratulations on turning 3!!! =) I love how easy it is to find things on this site! It is so organized and easy to navigate! It would be great to have a favorites button so we can keep track of our favorite recipes or ones we want to try!
Fuji Mama — January 4, 2011 @ 12:10 AM
I love that you always make me smile! Whether it’s because of a recipe that looks so good that the thought of trying it makes me smile, or your personality shining through in your writing, a trip to RecipeGirl.com is always good for workin’ out the ‘ole mouth muscles! Here’s to 3 more amazing years!
Jacqui — January 4, 2011 @ 12:27 AM
One thing I ove is all of the appetizer recipes you have up! I recently had a cocktail party and made those awesome asparagus wraps. Only thing Id like to see more of is brighter color for the page. =]
Kate — January 4, 2011 @ 12:45 AM
Don’t change a thing – I love your blog because it always holds a recipe I want as a keeper like the recent eggnog scones. I wish you many more happy blogging days ahead.
Ana M. — January 4, 2011 @ 1:33 AM
I’ve been subscribing to your newsletter for a month now and have found each of your recipes yummy and perfect for my taste. I’d continue to read your blog till you stop blogging anymore. I guess you should have some more desserts recipes put on here, as I’ve got a TOO MUCH sweet-tooth
Best of luck, and keep delicious recipes coming up!
tammy — January 4, 2011 @ 2:39 AM
Happy Bloggaversary! I have heard about tasting parties recently. My mother got me these cute little glasses from Pier 1. I guess you are to put either some sort of appectizers or desserts in them. Not sure, but it sounded neat, so if you have any ideas that would be great.
Thanks
Linda Smith — January 4, 2011 @ 2:56 AM
Your recipe file is very easy to use and recipes are from “scratch” using good ingredients AND your pictures are Great. I would like to see a “save to favorites” tab so I could create my own recipe box of favorites from this site. Thank You and keep em coming!! Happy Anniversary.
Mary — January 4, 2011 @ 3:26 AM
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE recipes! Love your site!

Laurel — January 4, 2011 @ 4:19 AM
My favorite foods are the Weight Watchers friendly ones by far!
LauraB @ foodsnobstl — January 4, 2011 @ 4:22 AM

Rose — January 4, 2011 @ 4:57 AM
I collect recipes and have collected and tried many from your website.
Liz — January 4, 2011 @ 4:59 AM
You’re probably unaware that you frequently plan our dinner. I never worry about the success of the dish because it always turns out perfectly. Don’t change a thing!
Lindsay — January 4, 2011 @ 5:13 AM
I love your recipes, I have made so many of your recipes I can’t even tell you how many! Congrats on 3 years!!!

The diversity of the recipes.

Cheryl — January 4, 2011 @ 5:49 AM
Happy Blogiversary!!
While I do love the wide variety of recipes that you have I really love the whole “feel” of your Blog. Your energy and enthusiasm
really come through in your writing and that makes your Blog stand apart.
Barbara — January 4, 2011 @ 5:51 AM
Happy Blogoversary! Very exciting and I wish you a Happy New Year as well.
What a super giveaway to start the year with! Your cake looks so moist and delicious too.
I think the greatest compliment you can give a fellow blogger is to tell them how many recipes they copy AND make from their blog.
Cheryl W. — January 4, 2011 @ 6:12 AM
I absolutely love and drool over all your fantastic food photographs. They are always so appealing that I just have to try the recipes. I would love to see more tutorial picture post. Just because I love seeing a recipe step by step.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter.
Janet — January 4, 2011 @ 6:30 AM
I know I can always find a fab appetizer recipe over here. I love the endless supply and great photos!
Amanda Thompson — January 4, 2011 @ 6:35 AM
I think what I love most about your blog are your drool-worthy photos of everything you make. Also, your site is really user-friendly and your Entertaining Section is a lot of fun. Congrats on three years and {please} keep up the good work!!
Carolyn Lontin — January 4, 2011 @ 6:38 AM
I love your posts – the photos & directions are super easy to follow! Thanks for all of the ymmy recipes!

I love cooking and recipes. I read cookbooks like a novel, so Recipe Girl is like a novella every day. Thanks for the time and effort involved.
Pattie — January 4, 2011 @ 6:48 AM

I loved participating in the Ten in 10 Challenge last year. Even though I had to stop in the middle, the challenge forced me to think differently, which is always a plus.
Congratulations, Lori!
Anka — January 4, 2011 @ 6:58 AM
Love your site, and the recipes, the only thing I’m having trouble with are the measurements – I’m European, so cups and spoons confuse me somewhat.
karen j — January 4, 2011 @ 7:06 AM
I love the creativity of your recipes and the story about the recipe….if that doesnt get me to make it…then the picture for sure.
Missy — January 4, 2011 @ 7:14 AM
I love the different recipes. Also – I have printed off a lot of the recipes and hope to be able to use them. Make things to take to work and everything is always a HIT!
elizabeth — January 4, 2011 @ 7:14 AM
I think your blog is one of the best in all areas. Great recipes, great photos and stories, and easy to print your recipes. Keep up the good work! I and I’m sure tons of others really appreciate your hard work!
Ronda — January 4, 2011 @ 7:14 AM
What is NOT to love about your site?! I love all of your recipes and wouldn’t change a thing!
XOXO
Jennifer Jensen — January 4, 2011 @ 7:16 AM
I love the gluten free recipes and recipes for two. Thanks for the hard work!
Sonya — January 4, 2011 @ 7:26 AM
I like tweeting with you but I guess that doesn’t have anything to do with your blog design. I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
maybe put pictures along with each recipe on the recipe index pages. 
Christy D — January 4, 2011 @ 7:28 AM
My favorite have to be the desserts, but I also love the stories!!! I don’t think you need to change a thing!!
Shelly — January 4, 2011 @ 7:45 AM
I love your recipes!
Kim Riley — January 4, 2011 @ 7:47 AM
Happy, Happy Anniversary! I am relatively new to this site (within the past year)but I love the variety of the recipes that you share, and the down to earth way you write. You make the recipes seem not at all intimidating, and this has become my “go-to” source for wonderful new things to try!
Regan — January 4, 2011 @ 7:58 AM

I love all of your beautiful photo’s!
Miranda — January 4, 2011 @ 8:29 AM
I’m relatively new to the site but what I love most is the variety of all the recipes and categories you offer and the new spin you often put on classic recipes. In the future, how about more ways to eat seasonally and locally?
KATHLEEN ERBE — January 4, 2011 @ 8:30 AM
O MY CUPCAKES!!! Look at that birthday blog cake, first time I have seen one.
I just found your site six months or so ago, and I love all of your recipes, but your entertainment is definitely a plus. The array of the different countries you can pick and wala your dinner is complete, on “recipegirl’s” delightful, and entertaining website. And I so love, “Love and olive oil.” This is so cool. Blessings for another thirty years. We might have smellevision by then…lol.

AngelHeadedHipster — January 4, 2011 @ 8:38 AM
I love the site and would enjoy more posts (because I’m greedy and inconsiderate of your time, haha) – ditto for culinary covers, which I really enjoy as well. Happy Blog B-day!
Inbar — January 4, 2011 @ 8:48 AM
Definitely the best part is all the pictures of the recipes, as well as the fact that you give links to other food blogs, so I’m always discovering something new!
Charmaine — January 4, 2011 @ 8:59 AM
I’ve just discovered your blog. I love the fun, airy look of the website and the photography has improved over time (I’m very envious of that!). I wish the content were centered though, instead of having the links/ads taking up so much space on the right side… something about feeling a bit lop-sided.
Maren — January 4, 2011 @ 9:01 AM
Happy Anniversary! I love the versatility of the site! The photos are amazing and make me want to make everything posted. I hope to see more healthy snacks for the New Year!
Pat R — January 4, 2011 @ 9:09 AM

Not kidding, or sucking up
Judy Smithson — January 4, 2011 @ 9:31 AM

Margaret — January 4, 2011 @ 9:46 AM

Valerie — January 4, 2011 @ 9:51 AM
Is it bad that I can’t find anything to improve on your site? LOL! I love your blog & it’s super easy to navigate and totally engaging. My favorite part is your ‘Recipes’ tab!

Mary Ann Di Flaviano — January 4, 2011 @ 10:17 AM
I especially like that the recipes are included for everything. Some blogs do not include all of the recipes. I also enjoy the photos. They make the food look so yummy & make me want to make them. I can’t wait to try them all.
Mary Ann — January 4, 2011 @ 10:27 AM
I am a recipe fanatic! Love all the recipes! Happy Anniversary! =)

lisa burton — January 4, 2011 @ 11:23 AM
I love coming on here and reading your blog. I really love when you include pictures with the recipes, it helps by getting my mouth watering before I make it.
Margaret — January 4, 2011 @ 11:25 AM
I like your honesty about recipes. If you make and don’t like you don’t sugarcoat it. thanks for that.
Oh, and then there’s the photos. and the recipes.
And THAT chocolate cake!!!
Feast on the Cheap — January 4, 2011 @ 11:34 AM
Happy anniversary! I love your special entertaining section where you can pare down suggestions by theme type etc. Such a cute, useful idea.
Fingers crossed on that Sur la Table GC!
Vicki — January 4, 2011 @ 11:56 AM
The entertainment section is particularly helpful.
cindy ziliak — January 4, 2011 @ 12:13 PM
I love the recipes! You have such a great variety of categories to choose from. Congrats on the blogversary!
Hope — January 4, 2011 @ 12:14 PM
Happy Anniversary of your blog! I really love your blog. I would love to see more breakfast and lunch recipes. Those meals are the ones that I have the most trouble trying to figure out what to eat.
Ann — January 4, 2011 @ 12:15 PM
I love all the different recipe’s. I always love coming here for new ideas.
April in CT — January 4, 2011 @ 12:49 PM
I love that it’s easy to print or copy and save the recipes! So many blogs make it difficult to do that.
CocoJ — January 4, 2011 @ 12:53 PM
Down to earth feeling, a good thing. Interesting recipes which sound tasty, which make them fun to read whether I wind up trying them or not.
Megan — January 4, 2011 @ 12:56 PM
I love your pictures! It’s easy to get sucked into a recipe when there are beautiful pictures that accompany them–like yours!
Holly H. — January 4, 2011 @ 12:59 PM
I wouldn’t change a thing! It’s a fantastic blog. How about adding a Request section …this way I might be able to have a piece of that fabulous cake.
heavy hedonist — January 4, 2011 @ 12:59 PM
One thing (of many) I adore about this site is the sheer quality of the recipes… you really do find the best of the best, and I know because many have become standards in my own kitchen; and further proof of how well they work is that I can adjust and add to them– they are key recipes now.
What would I like to see on the site? More savory baked goods that use vegetables.
Marsha A. — January 4, 2011 @ 1:07 PM
Happy 3 years. Keep up the great work. I just love the recipe selection that you have.
Thanks for many a great meal.
Stephanie — January 4, 2011 @ 1:07 PM
You give great desriptions and tips! Congrats on three years!
Faeth — January 4, 2011 @ 1:27 PM
I’m new to your blog but I have really enjoyed the variety of recipes and how easy they have been in my “everyday” life. Thanks!!
Terressa T. — January 4, 2011 @ 1:32 PM
I am rather new to your site actually, but I love the pictures-I like to know what something should look like, so I know if I goofed or not
Thanks!!
Lisa — January 4, 2011 @ 1:34 PM
Congrats on your blogoversary! That cake looks DELICIOUS!! I enjoy the recipes on your blog the most, and giveaways, of course

I have my red velvet cake in the oven….thanks for the recipe…I even bought a new bundt pan (a pretty one)
I can’t wait to have a big slice…thought I would make red to honor the hogs and the big game tonight…..GO HOGS!!!!!
Rachel — January 4, 2011 @ 3:13 PM
I love your pictures and recipes! In terms of feedback, I prefer your posts with photos and words rather than videos.
TZel — January 4, 2011 @ 3:33 PM
More vegan dessert recipes
Jersey Girl Cooks — January 4, 2011 @ 4:33 PM
Happy blog anniversary! I love so many things about your blog especially that it has both healthy and sinful recipes. Thanks for the giveaway chance!
kimberly — January 4, 2011 @ 6:31 PM
I love the step by step pics you have with the recipes! I wish that your recipe index links included 1 picture of the final product.
Ciaochowlinda — January 4, 2011 @ 7:24 PM
That cake looks decadent and I especially love the wavy frosting on top. What I really enjoy are the great photos you always have.

Wow, now that’s a chocolate cake, and the raspberry filling looks and sounds just decadent!
Now, what I enjoy about your site? Every single one of- your recipes and the mouth watering photos that accompany them

Nicole L. — January 4, 2011 @ 11:08 PM

Sues — January 5, 2011 @ 4:44 AM
More than any other site, I KNOW when I visit RecipeGirl, I’m going to start getting really hungry and quite possibly drooling. Your food is not only beautiful, it’s always delicious looking
Happy 3 years!!
Cristina B — January 5, 2011 @ 5:00 AM
I love looking at the pictures you take of your food =)
Congrats on 3 years!

I love the awesome photos that you post along with the tasty recipes! Makes me want to try them even more!
Charlene — January 5, 2011 @ 7:32 AM
I love the pictures and the detail you put into each of your post. I would have to say that all of the recipes I have tried have turned out great and this is the place I check out first when making my weekly meal plan.
Dana — January 5, 2011 @ 7:35 AM
I LOVE the recipes along with the pictures! That way I know if I am doing it right!
Cheryl — January 5, 2011 @ 7:44 AM
Congrats on 3 years!
What I love most about this blog is the fact that you run the gamut on recipes. From vegan to full fat you cover everything.
Even though you don’t really like crock pots I would like to see more slow cooker recipes.
Laurie Jesch-Kulseth — January 5, 2011 @ 8:08 AM
Congrats on three wonderful years!!! I appreciate your blog and all that you do — I know I can always come here for some delicious inspiration!
Shelley — January 5, 2011 @ 8:10 AM
I love everything about your site. I’m really digging the weight watchers and other healthy sections and how neatly everything is categorized. I also love the photos and tutorials. Keep up the good work!!
Zahra Duffy — January 5, 2011 @ 8:36 AM
I love that you make me salivate while sitting here, oh so hungry and at my desk at work. It’s not a pretty sight but on a dreary Wednesday morning, it’s exactly what I need!
Thanks for 3 years of great recipes!
Mary W — January 5, 2011 @ 8:53 AM
I gotta say, a lot of cooking blogs post only recipes that make them look swanky, but not food I’d actually make. Thanks so much for making recipes that improve my food life and still inspire me to make more!
Jess — January 5, 2011 @ 9:13 AM
Happy Blog Birthday! Aside from the fact that every recipe I’ve made of yours is delicious, I love how user friendly the site is, from finding recipes, to printing them so cleanly.
Alexandra Cooper — January 5, 2011 @ 9:26 AM
Yay Congrats! I love how easy it is to print any of your recipes, and your logo makes me happy too! Great job!

Shanna — January 5, 2011 @ 11:54 AM
I love the easy navigation when I’m looking for something specific. Also that pretty much everything I’ve made off your site has turned out really wonderful
kelly o — January 5, 2011 @ 12:06 PM

Tiffany — January 5, 2011 @ 12:08 PM
That cake sounds delicious!
I really like the recipe index. It’s very thorough and detailed, which makes it easy to find things.
Sally — January 5, 2011 @ 12:17 PM
I love your site, particularly your personal comments on what you like about the taste of what you’ve made. I can’t even think of a way to improve it!
Shannon Sperry — January 5, 2011 @ 1:30 PM
Enjoy your blog so much and have made so many new and yummy things with the recipes you have posted. That being said, I would love to see some kind of organized archive of just the recipes. That way, if I try one and lose the print out or want to recommend it, I could just find the recipe without having to go through all the posts!
Keep the yummy goodness coming!
Amy Litz — January 5, 2011 @ 1:37 PM
I am such a picky eater and this is such a great website for me to find new recipes to try out. 1 crazy ingredient at a time
Britnie — January 5, 2011 @ 1:40 PM
I have a massive sweet tooth, love your recipes. I love food photography, love to see what I’m going to try.

I have tried alot of your recipes and love them all. You have saved me many times, I love to try new things.
Heather C — January 5, 2011 @ 3:13 PM
I love it all, you have such a SUNNY disposition and cute sense of humor. Your recipes are AWESOME too!
Laurel — January 5, 2011 @ 4:04 PM
I love the pictures. They make me hungry. My only request is that you blog everyday!
Penelope — January 5, 2011 @ 4:22 PM
I love your blog! You just seem like a regular person, great posts, really fun and interesting. Happy Anniversary!
Kristen M. — January 5, 2011 @ 4:25 PM
I enjoy your site for the family-friendly recipes that you post. I also enjoy your active presence on twitter. Though we’ve never met I feel as though we have some things in common (a love of recipes, the desire to be adventurous/try new foods & techniques, children the same age, local/San Diego area). I love your dessert recipes but do hope to see less sweets as sometimes that’s what keeps me from browsing. (Not that I don’t love sweets!)
Kevin Shine — January 5, 2011 @ 4:32 PM
The Dessert & Recipes for Two sections are my favorites, and the photography is very nice. Keep it up, and congratulations.
Jenny — January 5, 2011 @ 4:40 PM
I just love the easy use of your site and how you have so many recipes I actually try out!

Janice Svercek — January 5, 2011 @ 7:08 PM
I love the pictures on your website and of course the delicious recipes that go with them.
Jane Rytel — January 5, 2011 @ 7:16 PM
Love your fun category tabs and the delicious photos!!
Kristen — January 5, 2011 @ 7:58 PM
What a delicious looking cake!! I must admit I look at a lot of food blogs and I LOVE your recipe index. It might sound silly, but your time and attention to detail is reflected in how easy and PERFECT it is!It’s honestly the best one yet. Bravo! If I HAVE to be nit picky (you made me ;] ) I noticed not all your posts have photos, which I think is important to the effectiveness of your posts. I mean, we eat with our eyes first right? … in that case I feel guilty for drooling over this cake for so long!
Jennifer — January 5, 2011 @ 8:22 PM
My favorite thing is all the beautiful photos!
Jennie — January 5, 2011 @ 8:24 PM
Well, I sure enjoyed photos of that amazing chocolate cake. I would’ve enjoyed it more if it was real and sitting right here in front of me when a fork at the ready.
I love that the recipes you post are simple enough for me to make at home, but still feel gourmet. And always delicious!
Stacey — January 5, 2011 @ 8:31 PM
I like how there are a variety of recipes, and the photos are great!

BakerMom3 — January 5, 2011 @ 11:54 PM
I was enticed by your chocolate cake via FoodGawker and decided to check out your blog. Your food photography is scrumptious which makes me want to bake again! I would to see pictures of each recipe on you index page. Thanks for your hard work and congratulations on your 3 years anniv.

I love that you are local here in San Diego. I would love to see more Southern CA specialties with local produce. We are so lucky to live in beautiful San Diego… lets showcase the city!
Kathryn — January 6, 2011 @ 2:44 PM
Happy birthday! It’s our birthday at Recipe4Living, too! That cake is absolutely gorgeous! We’d love if you could enter it into theRecipe4Living 5th Birthday Contest! You could win a huge gift basket full of Scharffen Berger gourmet chocolate!
SamK — January 6, 2011 @ 3:08 PM
I love your entertaining section. Planned a whole summer dinner party around one of your menus & it turned out great. Thanks!!
Suzie Salmon — January 6, 2011 @ 4:47 PM
I love that even though you are a serious foodie, you are not afraid to post on a good crockpot recipe. Would love to see your comments as several pages so that I don’t have to scroll so far down to find the end and make a comment myself.
Cheers!

Three years?! You go girl! Keep cranking out all those yummy recipes. Especially the eggnog, snickerdoodle, and trifle ones.
Btw, I can’t remember if I told you but I made your red velvet trifle for Christmas and it was heaven. Everyone loved it and it was absolutely gorgeous I wish I had remembered to take some photos before it was dug into.
Happy blogging!
