Napping and Getting to Know Me

Wow, I am feeling pretty popular this week. First up, I was featured in an article The Naptime Chef on Cafe Mom, complete with pictures of my family and a sneak peek at my kitchen! Then, I was interviewed by Bethany's delicious Ice Cream Blog, Scoopalicious, regarding my Ice-Cream festival. Please take the time to visit her site and read my interview here:The Naptime Chef on Scoopalicious

Then, low and behold, I was given another award, this time from my friend Rebecca at Chow & Chatter. To honor her, and all the award recipients, I answered all of her questions.
