Marking my 50th Post

An auspicious day … the first day of spring and my fiftieth post on MA in the Kitchen.

My blog is hosted on Blogger, which provides information on how many times people look at your blog, what pages they look at and what countries they are in. According to the stats Blogger has provided, MA in the Kitchen has had almost one thousand pageviews since I began blogging just over four months ago. I have no idea how this number stands up in the greater blogosphere, but, for me, it is a real thrill just to think that my passion for food and love of writing are being shared.

I also find it exciting to check out where in the world readers are. So far, the posts have been read in Canada, the US, Germany, the UK, France, Mexico, Japan, India, Ukraine and Spain.

When I began this blog in November, my focus was (and continues to be) to create the best content I can. As I cook, photograph and write my way through each post, it’s interesting to see which posts are getting the most views. To date, the top five posts are:

1. Sloppy Chicken with Noodles and Greens
2. Harry’s Cheeks in Caps
3. Rustic Beef Stew with Bannock
4. Lentil Soup a la Moosewood
5. Feta not Chedda Scalloped Potatoes

I thank you and all my readers for your continued support.  I want to send a special thank you to the people who have chosen to keep up with MA in the Kitchen as either Followers through their Google account or as email subscribers when they submit their address in the little box on the right-hand side of the blog. It boosts my confidence, increases my commitment and just plain warms my heart to know you are there.

And to those who have given me feedback on the recipes, the photographs and the blog in general, thank you for being my editors, testers, critics and muses. I hope you will continue my kitchen journey with me.

Every day I find myself thinking of new ideas for the blog and look forward to sharing them with you, my dear readers. 

Here’s to the next fifty posts!

And, here’s to spring … may our thaw be slow and the rains gentle.
