Happy 1st Birthday!

It’s hard to imagine that it’s already been a year since I set up Bon Eats—a year of cooking, baking, sharing my successes and failures in the kitchen, and all-out stuffing my face with delicious food. Time sure flies when I’m having fun! Through this blog, I’ve been blessed to meet some fabulous people, and with the addition of my Twitter account, I’ve met even more.

To be quite honest, I haven’t had much time to think of something super special for Bon Eats’ one-year anniversary. Life has been a little busy lately, and to top it off, June is the month of birthdays for me (mine included!). Factor in 1000 Tastes of Toronto next weekend and Summerlicious next month, I thought it was best to cash in my indulgence card in the latter part of the month (plus the dress I plan to wear for a wedding in two weeks will be thanking me!). I did throw together a quick cupcake for the occasion though by using Nutella as a frosting for some chocolate chip muffins I made last night. And a little secret: I replaced half the all-purpose flour in the recipe with whole wheat pastry. This is also a great way to make instant cupcakes when you suddenly find yourselves entertaining kids. Just whip up some chocolate chip muffins or cupcakes and spread with Nutella—how can they resist? But then again, it could be my biased opinion (blame it on my inner Italian snobbery) that things taste better when there’s Nutella around!



Lastly, thank you for all the love and support you’ve given me and my blog for the past year. I look forward to many more delicious posts to share with you all!!
