As most of you know, the economy for blogging is not doing so great right now, so I’m working double time trying to get my reader visits up! I don’t really do sponsored posts on my blog anymore, so I rely on advertising revenue as a source of income.

More readers means more advertising revenue…which means more bills being paid during this awful Covid-19 pandemic!

Thank you so much for all of your support! Each time you share a recipe on social media, it helps me pay for my hosting fees and expenses so that I can keep bringing you these fun recipes!
