I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – I never imagined the opportunities this little blog of mine would bring into my life. When I started this blog nearly 3 years ago, I thought it would mostly be a private place for me to keep track of my recipes and practice photography. Little did I know that I would eventually be published in a magazine and newspaper, that I’d have the opportunity to write for a blog with other wonderful bloggers, be a part of some fantastic communities, and now, I will be making my television debut. I’m super excited, and super scared. Another great blogger – Stephanie at Stephanie’s Kitchen was on this local tv program a few weeks ago, and she did a wonderful job. So for any of you Utahns out there, keep a look out on Thursday on Studio 5 – I’ll be making one of my favorite recipes – Southwestern Eggrolls.
But really, as flattering and exciting as all of this is, the friends I’ve made here are what make it all worth it. Friends and food – what could be better?? So in honor of the blogging friends I’ve made here, I’m posting today about a recipe from a fellow blogger. I’ve had this recipe bookmarked for over a year now, and finally got around to making it last month. I don’t know why I waited so long – this sweet potato hash was delicious!! Sweet potatoes and bacon – two of my favorite ingredients!! The chicken was just a simple marinated chicken that I grilled, but the real star was this side dish. But then again, my fellow bloggers rarely let me down!!

This is a totally great hash! I’m glad you got the chance to make it. Congratulations on making it onto TV and the magazine and the paper!
I think the connectedness to the blogging community is the part I miss most about not posting so often. I have bronchitis now, but hopefully soon I’ll get back at it on a regular basis!
Wooo – on tv. Very cool. It’s amazing the opportunities blogging brings. Hope it goes/went well.
I like the sweet potato hash. I should give that a try.
