The deadline for the Adopt a Blogger event is coming up. Veteran bloggers… we need your help! Sign up to adopt a newbie blogger by this Friday (click on the Adopt a Blogger icon above). Newbies, you can still sign up as well. This will be a lot of fun and a great way to encourage people in the food blogging community to connect! Thanks to the 50+ of you who have already signed up to be adopted or to adopt a blogger! You will be getting your blogging match next week. If you are interested in the HTML code to add the Adopt a Blogger icon on your site, let me know!

It does not take a lot to confuse me…I will readily admit that. Some things in “Blogland” really have me perplexed the past couple of days. Maybe by me posting my open admission of confusion here, someone can help me figure out how to get out of this fog by solving my problems!

#1) What is going on with those of you who use Blogger as your host? I cannot make comments on your blog posts any longer without doing so as anonoymous. Did Blogger change this on purpose, or is it just a glitch in the system while they are making improvements or something? The dropping of the URL field for non-Blogger commenters just seems like a step backwards to me, so maybe I am completely missing something. I noticed something about the blog owner being able to go in and change a setting where users can sign in under an Open-ID. What in the world does that mean? Anyone out there care to help me figure this all out so I can continue commenting on Blogger blogs non-anonoymously?

#2 – For the past couple of months, when I write and then publish a post, I will come back to visit my blog and notice that certain keywords are highlighted and linked back to an Amazon.com product. I have an Amazon associates ID, but did not knowingly set up for the automatic links to take place. I’ve gone back to the Amazon associate page to try to figure out how to remove the links, but I cannot find that option any where. Anyone out there understand what I am talking about? Do you know how to get those links removed and how to keep them from automatically happening?

#3) I am really not the only one in the world losing my mind. Head over to my family blog for a funny story and to see what I’m talking about.

For a recipe that is guaranteed not to confuse anyone, take a look below for a (not light) comfort food dish! It is so non-confusing, even I could do it!

    Hooray, a recipe that uses Miracle Whip! And I thought I was the only one who used it…. And as for the Amazon roll-over links, that’s something I think you can do/undo through the Amazon Associates home page. I ran my cursor over this post, though, and nothing came up.

    I hate what has been happening with Blogger, Kristen – it’s terrible! I miss the comments!
    That pasta dish you made could totally cheer me up, though. 😉

    Hmmm, I’m not sure about any of your questions. I’ll have to check out the blogger thing, though, because I use blogger.

    I’m so glad you posted this recipe! I had a roommate years ago that made a dish similar to this. I was just thinking about it the other day, and was going to try to find a recipe, but then got sidetracked. Now I can just bookmark this one!!

    Yes, blogger changed their commenting policy. I now add a link to Redacted Recipes along with my name when commenting on favorite blogger blogs:

    (like so: YOUR NAME at <a href="YOUR BLOG URL">YOUR BLOG NAME</a>)

    Blogger accepts the html and that way people know who I am and can find me quickly.

    Can’t help you with your second perplexing issue, unfortunately.

    As for your third item… I’ve set off car alarms this way and then had to scuttle off as fast as possible while hoping nobody noticed how completely dill-brained I am. I have also locked myself and kids out of the car more than once.:-)

    That Blogger thing drives me crazy! You can comment IF you have a Google account, and I can’t count the number of times I have tried to activate a Google account and then can’t use it. (this is me, pounding my keyboard in frustration)

    I just use the ‘Anonymous’ option and make sure that I put my name and blog name in so the blog owner knows who I am, but it’s pretty ridiculous IMHO, and way too exclusive. Not to start a cat fight, but I started on Blogger and hated it with a passion. WordPress is SO much more user friendly!!!!

    Another one who is driven nuts by the blogger change. I use the "nickname" area though so I can at least post who I am (though there is now not a link). I have several relatives who have (non food) blogs on blogger and this is causing them no end of trouble!

    This looks very similar to one of my very fave Nigella Lawson recipes: Pasta with Ham, Peas & Cream. Always a good combo.

    I just have to think my mom fixed this just with another noodle! So good.
    Sorry I’m no help with blogger – I don’t see how anybody does any of that hmtl or url or any of that stuff. Hard enough for me to read a recipe.

    I don’t know if there are visitors that cannot comment on my blog (hosted by blogger) but I do know that I have not been able to post on some of my fellow blogger blogs. Not sure what is up with that but in each case, I informed the blog author.

    Hi Kristen, my blog is a blogspot one and this is the first time I hear about these problems, I’ve been posting normally and other bloggers have been leaving comments in my place (non-blogspot). I’ll see if I find out something else.

    Just wanted to say a BIG thankyou for the Blogger Adoption event, it’s such a wonderful idea, Am I still on time to publish something about it in my blog to see if you get more foodies, or is it too late?

Have you ever been creatively stuck?

December 2019 my absolute favorite camera lens fell out of the cabinet I keep it in and shattered in a million pieces. I cried for days and days. I barely picked up my DSLR in 2020 because I just felt so uninspired. I couldn’t get the shots I was visualizing in my head with the lenses I had. 
.
Nick and the kids replaced my favorite lens as a Christmas gift and I’m ecstatic to be shooting again! I joined my incredibly talented friend @kimklassen creative photography Inner Circle for extra inspiration this year. Assignment 1 out of the gate and I already feel eager and excited about photography again! (You can see my “tell a story through multiples” in my Instagram story.)
.
Three cheers for bursting with inspiration again, after all this time.

Last year I couldn’t believe I was old enough to have an 18 year old. This year I look in the mirror and see someone old enough to have a 19 year old. This past year has been a lot and man, it has physically aged me! But one things solid and firm...I love my kids and am so proud of them! The resilience Jacob has shown this past year has impressed me...”graduating” high school, starting college, all when things have been so up in the air and unsure. And never once complaining about it. My kids haven’t lost a thing this year...instead they’ve gained so much they wouldn’t have gained without this experience. I’m so proud to be their mom. Happy 19th birthday @jacobdoyle02 We are fiercely proud of you and love you so much!

I always read so much in the last couple weeks of the year, I could never have my “best of” choices finalized. Christmas break is my favorite time to read read read!

I’m finishing up All About Us and The Prettiest Star, and then have this awesome stack to tackle! What should I read next? So many good ones to choose from! Will any of these make my 2020 top ten?

This is the recipe my sister-in-law uses and it is the BEST tasting, no fail sugar cookie recipe. It’s from a really old issue of @tasteofhome magazine with a frosting recipe she wrote down in the margin. I could eat so many of these and never get tired of them! If you want the recipe let me know and I’ll dm you the picture! Is making decorated cut out cookies one of your Christmas traditions?

It’s a book giveaway! I often get people asking me for book recommendations. Talking books is one of my favorite things to do! So when @librofm gave me the opportunity to give away three audio copies of any audiobook I wanted to, I knew immediately which book I wanted to share.
.
@roblowe book, Stories I Only Tell My Friends is the audiobook I recommend to EVERYONE. It is a book I listened to years ago, not expecting to love it, but I absolutely did. First of all, Rob Lowe narrates...so there’s that lovely bonus. But Stories I Only Tell My Friends is a funny, raw, emotional, informative, peek inside of the life of a really fascinating celebrity.
.
I wasn’t a Rob Lowe super fan before. I haven’t watched West Wing (I know, I know), Brothers & Sisters, Parks & Rec, or any of his TV shows, but I have always been a HUGE Brat Pack fan. Well, after listening to this audiobook I am a big fan (and his other audiobook, Love Life, is great too).
.
Long story short, I have three codes through @librofm to give to 3 people. To enter, leave a comment on this post by midnight CST on 12/16 telling me what your favorite audiobook is and why! Also, definitely check out Libro.fm - the best audiobook platform that also gives back to local bookstores!

“I can’t wait for my seasonal depression to meet my year 2020 depression.” 😩

If S.A.D is something you worry about each year, but especially this year, let me introduce you to my seasonal affective disorder game changer, the @sunrisesensations light therapy lamp. I ordered one of these lamps last year at the recommendation of my friend @leslieradams and it is the best (& most stylish) light therapy lamp I’ve ever used. I absolutely love it and highly recommend it...it’s well worth the money.
.
@sunrisesensations has a new, smaller lamp called Bright Box. The size snd functionality is perfect for a nightstand or office desk. Let me know if you have any questions about how these lamps continue to help me fight those pesky winter blues! Check out Sunrise Sensations to find the right UV free light therapy box for you!

Alright, alright, alright! It’s time to talk about how we can support our local bookstore during the holidays and beyond! As you consider buying gifts this year, make sure you shop local for all the book people on your list! One unique and super easy way you can support your favorite local bookstores is with an audiobook subscription to @librofm Yes! Audiobooks! With Libro.fm you can financially support your local bookstore AND buy audiobooks all at the same time. Each audiobook purchase supports the independent book store of your choice! Do it for yourself and buy some audiobooks for friends too!
.

If you need audiobook ideas, hit me up. I’ve listened to so many great books this year that will make it on my top favorites list, including Greenlights by @officiallymcconaughey It’s narrated by the author and is so worth the listen! Your ears will thank you!
.
PS my favorite #localbookstore @rainydaybooks is under renovation which makes it even better that I can still safely support them from the comfort of my own home!
