Eight is Great!

Happy 8 Take A Bite! Eight years of cookies, a lot of Maldon salt, grammar errors, and over sharing bites of my life.

Celebrating seven years of Take A Bite today! From writing my first post in my sorority house dining room, to seven years later quarantined in my parent’s dining room. I’m not where I thought I’d be celebrating my 7th year blogging, but thankful to be healthy, with loved ones, and still getting to share what I love at takeabiteblog.com! A blog birthday isn’t complete without a serving of birthday toast. Thank you for reading, sharing and baking with me these past seven years!
5 Years

Hard to believe it's been 5 years. 5 years since Take A Bite staked it's claim in the interweb. I really can't beleive it.
This little website has brought me the coolest experiences, some incredible friends, delicious eats, ups, downs, all-arounds. I can't thank you enough for reading my blog posts, for making my recipes, for snapchatting and texting me pictures labeled #takeabite. It's incredible to think that what started out of the dining room of the OU Kappa house has transformed itself into this. Whatever this may be.
Take A Bite Quick Facts:
I've written 247 Bites of My Life Posts with another on the way this Monday.
I've posted 200+ recipe posts.
This post still remains as my most popular read post, thinking it is much due for an update, seeing as I wrote it 4 years ago.
These bad boys have made their way to my second most popular post, just as they should. I feel like they are the mascot of TAB.
Thank you for reading friends. It means the world. Here's to 5 more!

Happy 4th Take A Bite
/
Four years later and I'm still annoying you with my recipes, grammatical errors and obsession with food. Take A Bite has gone through many phases of it's life as well as many phases of my life. From terrible Photoshop collages, to dim lit food pictures, from sophomore year of college, to graduation, to my first job, to my second and now we are here. Four years later and I'm prouder than ever of my sweet little TAB.
Take A Bite has brought me incredible friends and incredible opportunities I wouldn't have had otherwise. It has allowed me to share my passions for cooking, baking, being creative and sharing with others. Nothing fills me up more than when someone tells me they tried one of my recipes. I write these posts, and sometimes wonder if anyone is reading them. Your comments, pictures, #takeabite hashtags etc. showing that you do, means everything. So thank you.
I didn't mean to get so gushy in this post... Let's eat instead! In typical Take A Bite I'm celebrating with Birthday Toast. I have a traditional breakfast every year on own birthday (Belgium waffles with strawberries and whipped cream), so I thought TAB deserved the same. I've been making this almond butter and sprinkle toast the past four years, from the Kappa house, to rent house, to OKC house. Make you some birthday toast and let's take a look back at some favorite bites.
Here's to many more blog birthdays!

Take A Bite Turns Three
/
Three years ago, I was 19 years old, sitting in the kappa house dining room, reading up how to start a blog and creating amateur blog graphics on an internet photo editor. Three years later, a lot has changed.
I've written 147 bites of my life, over 150 recipes, and too many blog posts to count. Take A Bite has gone through my time in college, my summer in DC, graduation, and now real world life. I've grown up with this blog.
I'm so thankful for the experiences, opportunities, and friendships I have gained from starting Take A Bite. It's helped me develop something that I truly enjoy, and I love it for that. I'm so interested to see where TAB heads in the coming years.
And now for my favorite blog birthday tradition. Birthday toast. The only way to celebrate a website turning one year older...
Birthday Toast
Ingredients:
bread of choice
almond butter
sprinkles
candles (optional)
Directions:
Toast your bread, spread on almond butter and decorate with sprinkles. Sing happy birthday and take a bite!
