Versatile Blogger Award

Thank you to both Shannon from Banana Boats and Cabbage Patches, as well as Shelby from Everyday Vegan Girl for the nomination for the Versatile Blogger Award.  This award is a great way to let the writers of the blogs you follow know how much you appreciate reading, and to let readers of your own blog find other similar blogs to follow... oh and it's an award, awards are always awesome!

Here are the rules listed on The Versatile Blogger website:

•  Thank the person who gave you this award. That’s common courtesy.
•  Include a link to their blog. That’s also common courtesy — if you can figure out how to do it.
•  Next, select 15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly. ( I would add, pick blogs or bloggers that are excellent!)
•  Nominate those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award — you might include a link to this site.
•  Finally, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.

Here are the 11 blogs that I am nominating:

Wendy @ Healthy Girl's Kitchen

Shelby @ Everyday Vegan Girl

Carrie @ Carrie On Vegan

Hailey @ Kitchen of Health

Cindy @ Talk Healthy To Me 

Salvatore @ Sausage Boy Goes Green

Erin @ Naturally Ella

Kate @ Cookie and Kate

Susan @ Fat Free Vegan Kitchen

Elise @ Hungry Hungry Hippie

Jesse @ Happy Go Lucky Vegan

And Here are 7 things about me:

1. Tennis, biking, Pilates, and Zumba are my favorite forms of exercise.
2. My favorite fruits are watermelon, raspberries, and oranges.
3. I love to wear nautical-like stripes and straw fedoras in the summer.
4. My favorite season is Fall, for the cooler weather and for the wonderful foods like apples and pumpkins!
5. Cooking is my favorite hobby, but I am not a fan of baking.
6. Some of my favorite possessions are the things handed down to me from my late grandma.
7. I'll be wearing my mom's altered wedding dress that my grandma made for her at mine and Kevin's wedding in September.

For those of you who are wondering, I am back from my mother-daughter trip to Disneyland, and we had a blast!  I will post pictures and details of our trip tomorrow, then on Friday I will be announcing the winner of the Unprocessed book giveaway!  If you have not had a chance to enter, comment on this blog post by answering one or both of the questions at the bottom.  If you follow me on Pinterest AND comment, you will get entered twice of the giveaway.  Good luck to everyone :)
