Ch-ch-ch-changes!

Why am I still amazed at the overwhelmingly-generous response from the blogging community whenever I ask for help? You'd think I'd have learned by now how awesome y'all are!


I thoroughly read through every comment, and, after weighing the pros and cons, decided: I'm going to Wordpress! Yay! I'm so excited; I already imported my blog, and it looks much more organized in the new format. I've got big things planned for Baby Blog, including...


My first-ever chocolate-covered GIVEAWAY! Get excited; it's a big one (well, not as big as a Vitamix, but let's face it-- nothing is).


I'm also working on Wordpress pages, which will hopefully make it much easier to navigate through all the chocolate-covered recipes I've posted over the past few years.


Sorry I've been MIA on all your blogs. Making a new blog is time-consuming, but once it's all up and running, I can hopefully comment on more of your posts. Please know I'm still reading!


As I've said before: I appreciate everyone who takes the time to leave me a comment on my blog, so it's only fair for me to return the favor.


If anyone has a question for the FAQ page, send it my way (either in a comment on this post or in an email). Thanks bunches and bunches!




Chocolate-Covered Song of the Day
Man! I Feel Like a Woman
(Shania Twain-- she's apparently a vegetarian!)

It was wiiiiiiindy out there this morning. (Whoever dubbed Chicago the "Windy City" had obviously never been to Dallas.) But listening to songs like the one above enabled me to have a fun run regardless.



Chocolate-Covered Meal of the Day



Lunchies (yesterday) consisted of a huge bowl of veggies and bulgur. Poor bulgur is shy and didn't want his picture taken, so he hid under a Veggie Blanket. I covered the big mess of deliciousness with some Three-Ingredient Alfredo Sauce. (Yes, I still use agar. I like the finicky little guys! But I bet the sauce could be made using silken tofu instead.)

A banana and a small glass of my fave ricemilk completed the sumptuous ensemble.

Wow, I'm so excited for CCV! I know the switch to wordpress will just make it even better. Can't wait for the giveaway!

Love bulghur, even if he is a bit shy. Happy Tuesday!

Sagan said...

So exciting that you're making the switch! I am really really happy with Wordpress now that I've switched after being on Blogger so long... it seems like with Wordpress there's more options to play around with it all. I love it.

And giveaways are, of course, always awesome :)

Marianne said...

I'm so excited to see your change! Can you e-mail me or something how you did it? I've been wanting to change all month (blogger has been giving me so many problems) and I would love to know how to do it. Plus, I love that new backround on Eating Bender's blog, it's so cute.

OOO I can't wait to see the new site! Lovlie meal too, I'm pumping up on the "milk" too since Ed=underwieght= loss of bone mass and brittle muscles long term, but this won't effect you since it's your natural body frame ;)

Nicole said...

Wordpress seriously rules! I was so happy to make the switch over. It's totally worth the extra effort to move everything over. I AM OBSESSED!

CeciLiA said...

Awesome!!! I'm already in LOVE with ya new blog, and yes, everything is MUCH more organized on wordpress!

And oh, another awesome thing about wordpress is that, every commenter has his/her own 'IP address' (it differs between every commenter) that way, you can tract whether it is the same commenter who leaves ya all the nasty messages on ya blog!! :D

As for FAQ, I think you can explain to everyone (ie, those mean bean accusers) why you choose to eat they way you do ... as in why you choose to eat low fat meals/products over higher fat ones ... :) Oh, maybe also FUN ones like DO you eat chocolate everyday, special hidden talents, fav food and etc :D

Last but certainly NOT least ... A GIVEAWAY?!! OMG!!! I want, I want!!!

Mara @ What's For Dinner? said...

HOORAY FOR WORDPRESS!!!! You know i'll hook you up with any photoshopped goodness you could want :)

I ♥ puggies said...

Meg said...

I can't wait to see the new site. I have been wanting to change over to Wordpress too, but I have to find time to work on it.

jane said...

When do you graduate from college and what do you want to do when you graduate?

and...

what is your dream job?

ChickPea said...

Before I forget: http://www.nasoya.com/nasoya/pdf/SilkenCreations.pdf

I saw this new Nasoya chocolate dessert tofu at the store tonight and HAD TO buy it! I totally thought of you! And I'm going to scour and memorize your pudding ideas page so I can find the perfect little add-in's for the new dessert tofu!!! Yay!

Anyway, congrats on the wordpress decision! And you know I'm intrigued by the CCG (aka chocolate-covered Giveaway!). ;)

Ruby Red Vegan said...
