The Seven Link Game and a Favor....

I was tagged in this game which is sweeping blog land. The invitation came from Susan over at Create Amazing Meals and my apologies to her for taking so long to get this blog post up, check out her blog as it's full of tasty looking recipes both sweet and savory. It's been very busy lately and this week shows no signs of letting up with work being done on the house and my daughter breaking her elbow yesterday whilst trying to conquer an inflatable slide with the slide sadly winning this ominous duel.
I think the tag game is more beneficial to the blogger rather than the reader as it seems to be a great chance to reminisce about past posts which either you were happy to post or some which when looked back upon have you thinking what the heck was I doing posting that? I have looked at previous posts and have noticed many changes in the style of my  blog and especially the photography. With lots still to learn my goal is to keep blogging, growing Foodness Gracious and at the same time checking out all of your great blogs!

I mentioned the need for a personal favor in my title. Miranda, the bounce house stunt woman has type 1 diabetes. She is an amazingly strong, smart six year old girl who deals with this condition everyday and rarely complains about the strict blood sugar testing routine or food choices she has to face. Every year on November sixth my family and a troop of amazing friends take part in a fundraising walk for The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. This year instead of just asking people to donate, I would like to raise money by doing some kind of food oriented challenge and that's where my blogger friends can help by coming up with ideas. It could be wacky, serious or crazy but I would like it to be connected to food and it has to be fun. If I use your idea I will promise to give credit to you and your blog.

Thanks for reading this far and wondering when my seven link post was going to start, well here it is....

My Most Popular Post- Tiramisu

I have been using this recipe for many years and it never fails to impress people. Creamy and light with a strong but not overpowering coffee taste.

My Most Beautiful Post- Peanut Butter and Chocolate Bars



 

Who can resist chocolate and peanut butter. I made these for The Secret Recipe Club and they were awesome.

My Most Controversial Post-  Rhubarb Barbecue Sauce

  

Another Secret Recipe Club contender. I had to make it because I love rhubarb but thought how can that be good in BBQ, but it was.

My Most Helpful Post- Kale Burger

  

Thanks to Gretchen at Veggie Grettie for helping me understand about this green, chewy almost tasteless vegetable until you make it into a burger.

My Most Surprisingly Successful Post- Friday Night Drinks Blog Hop

I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of posts I received on my first blog hop. Unfortunately I have been very lazy in this hop and need to get back on track with the alcohol, watch this space!

My Post Which Didn't Get The Love It Deserved- Fajitas

These turned out really tender and full of flavor, I think the pictures were the down fall of this post 

The Post I Am Most Proud Of- Panna Cotta S'mores

S'mores everywhere but I really wanted to do a unique version and It took me some time to come up with this but it was worth it. I haven't seen another one out there.

I'm passing this tag on to five other blogs which I enjoy reading and think you would too. If you have already played or don't want to, don't worry I wont be offended.
