These were some great questions! Especially the one about the added sugar versus natural sugars! I know I’ve wondered about that on occasion.

Great questions, great answers!

On the blogging front, I’ll agree that it just takes TIME to build up a site, and there’s no way around that. My blog is still quite new, so it’s growing very very slowly… but when I put in the effort, I can perceive even the gradual growth and it is encouraging! Since I love doing it anyway, I don’t have any problem being patient. Just remember that the internet is a HUGE place and our little tendrils can only spread one link at a time!

Yep, blogging takes time, but I view it as a living diary my future grandchildren can read someday. I wonder if they laugh that I use the word “amazeballs” all the time and use lots of exclamation points! 😀

Sadly, the only way to get your blog “out there” is to leave comments. I had one of my blog readers start a blog in January and she’s upset that she gets hardly any traffic – she thought she’d be able to start a blog and people would magically find it. 🙁

Hope you are feeling better!

Nicole-

I love your answers to these questions and that you make things applicable to daily life and easy to understand! I got your cookbook for my birthday and I LOVE it! I appreciate your outlook on balancing “good” and “bad” food as I have many friends that try to cut certain food groups out and then are back to eating poorly a few days later! (I too admit that there are days it is definitely harder to find that balance!) I check your blog daily and look forward to your funny stories and great recipes, I just am bad about commenting after I have tried them! Thanks for your continued hard work and dedication to your readers :)!

I love reading your Q&A posts…I always learn something! Thanks so much for sharing such great information. Now if I could just shake my (rather large) artificial sweetener addiction! I’ve tried Stevia and it works great in my yogurt and oatmeal, but I still have to have those two little pink packets in my morning coffee!
