I know it isnât technically Sunday⊠But since New Yearâs Day falls on a Sunday this year and I have an extra special post to share that day, Iâm posting this weekâs Sunday Spotlight a little early!
When my grandparents flew out from Arizona to spend the holidays with us in California, we stopped by our favorite brunch spot on Christmas Eve to celebrate their 59th wedding anniversary. (Yes, they actually were married on the day before Christmas!)
As the server went around the table, scribbling down our orders for relatively wholesome breakfasts like scrambled eggs, omelettes, and steamed veggies (and huge slices of blueberry coffee cake⊠the not-so-healthy part!), Grandpa stopped him when he reached me.
âTake good care of her,â he told the waiter. âSheâs on the internet!â
Although Grandpa might not fully understand what I write about here on my blog (I almost never review restaurant dishes, only my own recipes!), I still found his comment so cute and touching. To hear the pride in his voice as he mentioned my website to the server⊠It was one of the sweetest gifts I received this holiday season.
I feel truly blessed to call Amyâs Healthy Baking my full-time job, and I couldnât have done that without you! Your interest in my recipes and my cookbook, how you share my recipe links on Facebook and Pinterest, how you post pictures of the treats you make on Instagram to show those to me tooâŠ
Those little things have added up and allowed me to turn this website into my full-time job, and Iâm incredibly grateful for that!
So to say thank you, Iâm putting the spotlight back on you today! Here are some of the recipes that youâve tried and pictures that youâve shared on Instagram. I truly appreciate each and every time you do that; it really means the world to me! â„
And if youâre interested in starting a blog too, I have a super easy step-by-step guide on how you can start your own blog here. It takes less than 30 minutes!
I canât wait to see what you try next! â„
Would you like to see your picture in my next Sunday Spotlight? Then share it with me on Instagram using #amyshealthybaking and tag @amyshealthybaking IN the photo itself. (That guarantees Iâll see your picture! ?) I canât wait to see what recipes you make!
Aww, your grandfather’s comment is super sweet! And thank you so much for including me in this Sunday Spotlight – as I’ve said a million times before, your recipes are the BEST! Wishing you a wonderful start to 2017, dear Amy!
You’re welcome Liz! I’m always excited to share your pictures — you’re such a sweetheart! âĄ
