It’s shiny. Sleek and shiny. Shiny. And since most of you aren’t close enough to come by and help us finish off a Peanut Butter Cup Tart or taste-test our latest brew experiment (a Blue Moon knockoff), it’s the second best way we know to thank you for making our little project so fun.

We’ve recently redesigned the site to be more functional and we’re almost finished with the Recipe Index so that every single recipe is easy to see and find. And even better – there will be chances to grab some fun foodie swag!

We’ve met some amazing people – photographers, bloggers, cookers, cakers, and writers over the last nearly 5 years. I still get just as excited when we get a comment today as I did the day we broke double-digits on page views back in late 2006 – it was a very exciting record of 11! So we say “thank you” with some of that fun foodie swag: a sleek and shiny KitchenAid 5qt Artisan Stand Mixer (Onyx).
