Beth! I’m sooo glad to see you again….I didn’t even know about your blog…..watch you on Youtube….Not sure how I got here but so glad I did. Yes, it’s time to be outside (well soon anyway…I live in Colorado) and let the planting begin. I, too, have a small yard for gardening but I so look forward to doing what I can. And your recipes! I love them. Glad you’re back!

Hi, Beth,

Glad to see you back! Also a big fan of your recipes, and your…how to say it…wry sense of humor. Nice jugs, too. It’s been a year for all of us. So happy to be seeing the other side.

[…] about winter sowing, I want to thank you all for your kind and encouraging comments when I posted my “prodigal blogger returns” post last week. It meant so much to me to know I was missed. Getting a little misty-eyed as I think […]

In reply to Mary.

Thank you Mary! <3 It’s so great to be back. And what a wonderful reception. I’m so glad that I’m the friend who gave you the lasagna recipe – it’s an honor to be considered that way.

In reply to Eliza. Hi Eliza! <3 What a wonderful note. I cracked up laughing at your examples of what I'm not, and wow, what a relief too. I keep seeing the buzz about how annoying food bloggers can be and I always worry about how I'm coming across. It's go great to hear that just being myself is working out ok. As for the extrovert thing, I'm definitely craving ways to connect safely with people that don't live with me. Honestly writing this post and then receiving and replying to so many wonderful comments has really helped! <3

Yay! My favorite blogger is BACK! No matter about how long, you just have more to make you fun and interesting after such a long drought. Thanks for coming back to share your brilliance and humor. 🙂

Oh my goodness – welcome back! I thought I was going to lose my ever loving mind with the whole lockdown, etc. Without going into too much detail, I “get” you!! Good to see you posting again. You are seriously “the friend that gave me the lasagne recipe that was a total game changer”. I’m looking forward to your updates.

I’m so excited to see this post! I discovered your blog during the pandemic, but you food innovations and creative ideas are amazing (I make variations on your lasagna regularly now. The adding lentils and sweet potatoes to red sauce thing was, in particular, a game changer) and I can see from other comments that I’m not the only one who appreciates your approach to food (especially vegan) food blogging. No weird body shaming or wellness shaming or insincere/rote “this recipe is creamy. (hold for seven photos) chewy (hold for six photos) warm (hold for five photos) etc…” text to be found. No shame at all, just joy and sharing. Looking forward to future posts.

Also! As a fellow extrovert, it actually makes a ton of sense to feel down when surrounded by family all the time. I feed off energy from *new people* and *strangers* and it’s hard to feed off energy from the same two or three people all the time. It doesn’t work the same way no matter how much you love them and they support you.
