One Year

You guessed it! 😀

Today is my one-year blogging anniversary.

On September 7, 2009, I started Peanut Butter Fingers and began an exciting endeavor that has proved exciting, challenging, rewarding, educational and FUN.

What I Do Best

When I first began blogging, I remember feeling so self conscious about taking pictures of my food. I mean what kind of a nut job takes pictures of a salad or a scoop of peanut butter?

Fast forward one year, and snapping pictures of my meals feels like second nature.  Bloggers are a rare breed of crazy, I’m tellin’ ya.

Because of You

I started my blog because I love to write and enjoy learning about health, food and fitness.

I continue to blog because of YOU.

You guys know I get all mushy-gushy from time to time and my one-year blogging anniversary sparked that “Oh I just love you guys so much” emotion in me.

Thank you for reading this little creation of mine. Your comments, support and emails truly mean the world and keep me motivated to blog day in and day out. For those of you “silent readers” out there, you are just as important to me I send a big, overbearing hug your way! 😀

Reflecting

Birthdays and anniversaries are often a time of reflection, so in honor of this one year of blogging milestone, I wanted to drum up a few old posts to highlight some big moments that have occurred in my life throughout the past year.

One of my favorite things about having a blog is looking back through old posts and reliving fun experiences through pictures and words.

    Hi, I’m a long-time silent reader. I’ve read ur blog ever since u posted about cauliflower pizza crust. I remember thinking, this girl is so beautiful & awesome, I wonder why she doesn’t have many comments? Couple months later, BAM 87 comments!. I always knew you’d be Fitnessista & HEAB’s status:)

    Congrats! I have been a “silent reader” since may and I cannot explain how thankful I am to have found your blog! I am recovering from an eating disorder that has haunted me for the past 3 years and reading about how you balance a healthy life that involves goodies has really inspired me and given me courage. Thank you for writing, you’ll never know how much it has helped me 🙂

    Awwww Happy Anniversary!!! I started reading your blog about six months ago and it has definitely changed my life. My boyfriend and I like to “steal” your recipes and have completely changed our eating because of YOU and PBF!! I don’t think you can send cookies to Canada..but I just wanted to say THANK YOU for taking so much time out of your life to inspire all of us. We love you!! Here’s to your 2nd anniversary (and many more!) and many, many, many more entries 🙂
