Welcome to Week #2

Don’t let the number 2 fool you on this title … ALL of these food bloggers are my favorites… numbering them is just a way to tell you where we are in the process. 😉
Last week’s premiere post in this Favorite Food Bloggers mini-series was Gina Kleinworth and her blog Yummi Haus. If you missed it, be sure to click here to start with #1!

This week I would like to introduce you to The Kitchen Is My Playground. The blog owner, Tracey, has a lot to tell on her “about me” page but, for introductions, here is what she says this about herself:
Hi! I’m Tracey, & I’m having fun with home cooking, one recipe at a time! A former businesswoman & teacher turned blogger & Mom, I love my latest career best. Join in the fun at The Kitchen is My Playground as I share tried-&-true recipes for the everyday home cook.
You will really want to go over to read the whole scoop about her life, including the VERY unique job her husband does (and she helps him with it.) He is a beekeeper!!! 🐝🐝🐝

I first came across Tracey’s luscious recipes through my blog parties (Wonderful Wednesday and Happiness is Homemade.) Every week, as I would browse the posts our guest bloggers had shared, invariably hers were the ones that drew my attention first. After a while I made it a game: “Let me see. Is this one from The Kitchen is My Playground? Yep! Thought so!”
Her food photos are so enticing — like in a professional culinary magazine. And, though her blog does have lots of variety, her many recipe choices appeal to my sweet tooth – desserts!
So, here are just two of her amazing recipes for you to click over to get the full recipe. Remember to pin them for future use, while you are there. 😉
One of her “Readers’ Favorites:”
No Bake Chocolate Eclair Dessert

And this one looks super easy and delicious:
Broccoli Rice Casserole
See what I mean? Wait till you get over to her website and see all the recipes! When you do, why don’t you let me know in the comments here recipes you found there that you really like!
🌟Well, if you haven’t read week #1 then the sentiments behind why I am doing this little series bears repeating. ..
Bloggers work so hard at their craft and are often under appreciated. We host blog parties here at Ducks ‘n a Row twice a week to help everyone boost their traffic a bit and hopefully gain some new faithful followers. Whether a blog is 100% food focused or a mixture, everybody has to eat! I wanted to pick a few of my all-time favorite food blogs to share with you to show my appreciation for their dedication.
Tracey, by the way, has been blogging since 2011. That is one year after I started this blog! She is another one who tried it, liked it and stayed with it. ☺️ Thanks, Tracey, for sharing your love for cooking with the world! 🌎
Next week: Skinny Taste!

P.S. I am an Amazon affiliate… just wanted you to know that. All it means is, though you will always get the same great price no matter how you get there, when you do go over to Amazon by clicking a link from my blog and then buy things, I probably will make a small commission. (Some things, like gift cards, do not pay commissions to us but most items do.)
In advance, “thank you” for shopping Amazon! ![]()
