It’s hard to believe that it has been one year since I launched My Delicious Blog! When I started, I had no idea where it would go, if anyone would even subscribe/follow me on social media, or if I’d be able to come up with new content regularly. But here we are, one year later and what started as a creative project has become a way of life in the Coudal house. What a fun journey!
Thank you for being loyal subscribers, for reading my posts, for giving me new inspiration, and for sharing your wonderful feedback. Here’s just a smattering of my favorite comments from readers:
“I don’t even like to cook, but I look forward to reading your blog every week!”
“I’ve always been intimidated about cooking fish, but you make it seem so easy.”
“I love reading about your fishing adventures and farm visits.”
“Thanks for reminding me of a recipe I used to have as a child.”
“I love the sense of adventure you bring to cooking fish.”
“You make me see many foods I’ve always liked in a totally new light!”
As for what’s next, I’ll keep sharing my fishing adventures, recipes and field trips to farms and interesting food-related venues. But you’ll also see references to freelance writing projects I’ve taken on for publications like Florida Food and Farm and WaterLife Magazine, as well as, tourism groups like Visit Sarasota County, not to mention a few other projects in the works.
Finally, a favor. . .Saveur Magazine recently posted the nomination process for the 7th Annual Blogger Awards. Mine fits in the category of “Best New Voice” so I’d be honored if you’d consider nominating MyDeliciousBlog.com. Here’s the link with all the details.
Happy Fourth of July and I hope you all have a wonderful summer 🙂
Warmly,
Wendy Cox
It’s hard to believe it has been a year since you started your blog. Whenever I am at a loss for what to make for dinner (a frequent occurrence!) I look to your blog first.

Thank you Joe! You made my day. . .I’m glad to know my blog brings a little bit of sunshine to others. And I so appreciate all your input and technical support along the way.

You are definitely my favorite new voice! I’m nominating you now. I’m thinking the only category I would fit in would be “the food obsessive award”…ha! But hey, if the shoe fits… So nominate me for that one, if you will!
I met last year’s winner, Molly, from My Name is Yeh, in New Orleans last year the same month she won. Her career took off after that. Would be nice…
Nicole Coudal
Thank you Danielle! I’ll nominate you for the category named just for you 🙂
