Wow, one year… one whole year I have been writing this blog! As I sit here typing, I am swaying in my chair and singing the lyrics to the 1990′s jam, “It’s Our Anniversary” by Tony! Toni! Toné!
However, I am replacing the word anniversary with blogoversary, because I am cool like that! It’s a damn good thing no one can see or hear me because I way waaay off key and the song in this context makes absolutely no sense!

For my blogoversary, I made The Pioneer Woman’s Italian Cream Cake, and let me tell you – this cake is fabulous!

If you follow me on twitter, you may remember my tweet about having a spoonful of this frosting for breakfast yesterday morning. I did omit the walnuts because Brian is allergic. Instead, I topping the cake with toasted coconut, and it is FAB!

For my blogoversary I wanted to put together a giveaway that would be comprised of some of my favorite things.

    Oh what a yummy giveaway!
    One of my many goals this year, is to make bread more regularly. I used to do really good, lately I have just been too lazy!

    I want to be able to make a really good authentic tiramisu! I've tried a dozen different recipes and none are as good as a local Italian restaurant. I asked him for the recipe and would you believe he orders it from New York???

    My goal this year is to learn how to relax. To find something about each day that was amazing. Well not necessarily amazing but happy. I also want to learn how to knit a sweater. lol Sounds silly but hey it's a goal

    My goals are to become an expert at Photoshop and . . . well that will probably take me the rest of the year so I better stop there.

    Wahoo, giveaways are the best. My goal is to learn how to make the perfect lasagna. Who doesn't like a hearty lasagna-if it tastes right, I am working on that part. Reaganjenny@gmail.com
