My first birthday

One year ago today I started writing this blog. Happy first ‘birthday’ to the Gingerbread Mum!

I’m very proud of myself for keeping writing down our culinary adventures, even during the times when I don’t have much cooking inspiration.

I started this blog for two main reasons. I was struggling coming up with interesting meals for Nicholas and wanted to write down the ones that worked to be able to refer to them easily later (check). And for when friends asked me for specific recipes (check).

In the process of doing this, I’ve ‘met’ many lovely people I wouldn’t have otherwise met, all through the love of food (or the necessity of having to feed little and not so little people!).

As I raise a glass to myself (well, actually it’s a mug of coffee and an arrowroot biscuit) and wonder what the next year of food will bring, I also say ‘thank you’ to you, lovely reader, for giving me some of your precious time. Cheers 😉

One year ago today I blogged my first recipe: Tomato Pasta Sauce (and I still regularly make it)
