More Awards + Announcing Yummies from Blogosphere Series

I have been thinking of this series: Yummies from Blogosphere ever since I recently received some more beautiful awards from our fellow blogger Swapna Sridhar who has an awesome blog , where she posts creative recipes and crafts...do check it out if you have not done so already. Thanks a million, Swapna!

But I have been embarrassed about accepting these beautiful awards because I am such a newbie blogger. Then I thought that the best way to celebrate these awards would be by showcasing the awesome talents of my fellow bloggers whose inspiration and encouragement, is the main reason behind my passion for blogging.

For the last several months, I have been browsing different blogs where I drool over all the goodies created by our blogger friends...I think "Ooh, I would love to try that" or "I have never seen that recipe before" and I bookmark and I bookmark...you get the idea...sometimes I try these beautiful recipes but lots of times, I am so busy trying out my own kitchen experiments, that I dont get a chance to appreciate the efforts of my fellow bloggers enough. Oh...I should note here that I have not blown up my kitchen from my recipe creation experiments that I mentioned earlier(yet!!!) 

Anyways, as a blogger and passionate cook, I would love to hear somebody else's experiences with my dishes, and I am assuming most bloggers would love to hear others' experience and thoughts with their recipes too...so here goes... I am planning to do a new series: Yummies from Blogosphere -  where I will try out one of my favorite recipes from those already posted by my fellow bloggers every weekend and blog about my experiences with that dish and also my degree of success with it every Monday going forward.
By this series, I am hoping that my family will get a chance to definitely taste some of the truly tried and tested recipes and also my audience will get a chance to browse glorious recipes that they may have missed seeing from the original blogger. Of course, I will be providing a link to the original blogger's fabulous post.

I also would like to reach out to my fellow bloggers and ask for their tips if I am about to try one of their wonderful recipes...

I know I am taking on a challenge here, because I may not be able to achieve the same degree of success that the original blogger had with the recipe and I may not be able to capture the images of that dish, as beautifully either...but I would definitely like to try!!!

Have I bitten off more than I can chew - with this series???

Here are my awards and now I would like to share them with all my awesome blogger buddies...hope you will accept them and I hope to do justice to your fabulous dishes...that you have taken so much time and effort  to prepare, take pictures and post...
