Hi everyone! I’m extremely excited to announce that this is my 100th post since starting Just One Cookbook! I want to dedicate this post to everyone who has been following my recipes and thank you all for giving me great motivation, support, and love throughout this journey. From my close friends who helped spread the word in the beginning to all the foodie blogger friends that I met along the way, you are what keeps me passionate about sharing more yummy recipes. The original goal was only to keep my recipes well-organized and handy for myself and my kids (eventually), and that’s why I started the website. Now I am enjoying the food blogging experience, meeting new friends and fans along the way, and sharing the joy of cooking. Some of you asked me how I manage my time between the website and two little kids. Aha! That’s a very good question. After I started this website my life really has not much spare time left. I even had to give up on most of my favorite TV shows and some beauty sleep (ouch!). The only “free” time I have on most days is the kids’ afternoon nap and after 8 pm when they go to sleep. During the free time, I try to cook, take photos, edit photos for the post, write recipes, visit blogs, and respond to comments/emails. Typically, my day usually ends around 2 am. I try to respond to everyone’s specific questions about the recipe as soon as I can (it’s my priority). But sometimes I’m way too busy and I won’t be able to get to them right away so thank you for being patient. These days I respond to everyone’s comments via email and if I feel others can also benefit from my answer, then I will also leave it in the comment section as well. Lastly, I want to thank my husband, Shen. He’s been very supportive of my blog from the very beginning. As I have mentioned before, he works on behind the scene stuff (any technical task) as well as photo editing. Thank you, honey!
My blog would be a one way street without your support. Thank you for making my website more meaningful to me. I hope you continue to enjoy my website and I’ll keep working hard! Today’s recipe is oven-baked sweets. If you are a regular here, you know this is pretty rare. I made these together with my children and we had lots of fun making them.
