The Meat Awards
I am delighted to have been nominated for a few awards for my meat musings. Those of you who visit more often will know that I use the term ‘meat’ rather loosely. Not that I approve of loose meat. Tender yes. Loose no. Back to the awards:
Silver Winner – Blog Awards Ireland 2018
Getting the silver in 2018 has been a great pleasure.
Gold Winner – Blog Awards Ireland 2016
Delighted to be awarded the Best Food and Drink Blog in Ireland for the third time. Really pleased with this one. Thanks to Littlewoods Ireland Blog Awards.
Freshly Pressed
In 2015 I was lucky enough to have one of my posts selected by WordPress for ‘WordPress Freshly Pressed’. This was picked for special mention and promotion from over 64 million blogs published during the month when I posted it. In fairness, they picked another couple of dozen too.
Best Overall Blog – Blog Awards Ireland 2014
I was very happy to win the Best Overall Blog Award in the 2014 Blog Awards Ireland. Very happy and absolutely surprised. I’ll take it all the same.
Best Food / Drink Blog – Blog Awards Ireland 2014
Delighted to win again in 2014. There are so many excellent food blogs out there. I am thrilled.
Best Food / Drink Blog – Blog Awards Ireland 2013
Shocked and awe-struck, if I can borrow from George W to talk about winning this. I made it to the awards in 2013 and met some fantastic people, old friends and new. The Blog Awards Ireland team put on a great fun event with the biggest goodie bag I have ever seen.
Best Food / Drink Blog 2013.
Glenisk Recipe Competition – Blog Awards Ireland 2013
Two trips to the stage on the night was nearly too much for me. The fine people at Glenisk ran a competition for the best recipe using one of their products. My very commercial post did the business. So I celebrated the award with another to curry favour.
Glenisk Competition Winner 2013.
Best Blog by a Newcomer – Blog Awards Ireland 2012
I was a bit surprised to make it to the shortlist in the Irish Blog Awards 2012. I was amazed to become a finalist in the Best Blog by a Newcomer category and I was stunned when I won it. Sadly, I was not there on the night of the awards and missed a great session by all accounts. Still, there’s always next year, if I can fool the judges again.
Winner, Best Blog by a Newcomer 2012
The Versatile Blogger Award
If I were more versatile, I would feel more worthy about having been awarded this.
The Versatile Blogger award
Thank you to Happiness Stan Lives Here who first nominated me some time ago. At the time, I did not know what it meant and just ignored it. Apologies for that faux pas.
Give it up too for foodashion.com who also saw fit to mention my versatility through a nomination.
Thank you too to Steph at Cultural Quirks. I don’t deserve it. I like it, but I don’t deserve it.
And, as if that were not enough, The Wanderlust Gene has done likewise. I am not that versatile, I assure ye all.
The Very Inspiring Blogger Award
I have to admit to not feeling very inspiring or inspired most of the time. Thank you to Tasha at foodashion.com for also nominated me for this wonderfully artworked award. As did Anna Shortcakes. Far too generous in their praise for my ramblings.
The Very Inspiring Blogger Award
The Sunshine Award
If I can bring a little sunshine into your day, then it’s a good day for me too.
The Sunshine Award
Thank you to Four Blue Hills for nominating me for this.
The Liebster Award
If I can bring a little Liebster into your day, then it adds to the Sunshine. This one was thrown to me by my daughter from her then Decidedly Delicious blog. I am unsure of her real motivations.
The Kreative Blogger Award
That’s Creative with a K. Very creative in itself, for sure. Another nomination from my nemesis, sorry, loving eldest daughter. I’ll take the plaudits from anywhere.
That’s Creative without the ‘e’ at the end too.
The Two Chances Award
This is the one that everybody really wants. It is not passed out like rice at a wedding. It is really, really exclusive. I launched it in early June 2012. See the post here. If you are lucky enough to be brought within the tiny exclusive band of magnificence that is the Two Chance Award Winners Circle, welcome. If you are not, you know how many chances you have.
The 7*7 Link Award
A big thank you to Mama Miyuki Easy Pantsy for nominating me for this one.
One Lovely Blog Award
Giaigi over at Giangi’s Kitchen nominated me for this award. I am honoured, given the state of my Italian cooking.
The Super-Sweet Award
My late lamented blogging Friend Barb Beecham over in the Sierra Foothills nominated me for this one. I don’t think that Super Sweet describes me very well but I am touched by the award. I miss Barb’s lovely enthusiasm and commentary here on the blog. She is missed. 
The Liebster Blog Award (Mark 2)
Corinna over at Cooking with Corinna was kind enough to nominate me for this one. Humbled I am to accept this. I like the newer design of the award too. 
The Shine On Award
Pami over at A Crust Eaten was kind enough to nominate me for the Shine On Award. That’s reason enough for my face to shine today.

I’ve nominated you AGAIN for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. I know you already have it, but your use of totally gratuitous meat shots, pouring shots and exact measures forced my hand. You don’t have to do anything about it, of course, but if you want to see what exalted company you’re in, go to: http://talltalesfromchiconia.wordpress.com/2013/12/14/inspiration-has-struck-2/

Thanks Kate. Very kind of you indeed. I don’t feel very inspiring today. Perhaps it’s the looming Christmas that is making me nervous.

All deserved. I could hang out here for ages.
The chicken pie was lush BTW. The pastry tasted good, but was hard because I used gluten free flour(I’m Intolerant). It did not detract. The filling made my husband get teary(and it wasn’t because it burnt his mouth). Many thanks
