Nice Matters!

The wonderful Ivy over at Kopiaste has nominated me for a Nice Matters Award. I am so flattered! I hope this means my frequent sarcasm translates as such and not just crankiness ;)
If you have never checked out Ivy's blog, you definitely should. I only recently discovered it and I am so glad I did. The name "kopiaste" translates to "hospitality" and that is probably the best way I can describe her blog. Her posts are so warm and inviting. And the food looks so great, it's like you can smell the scents wafting from her virtual kitchen.
In turn, I nominate some other bloggers for this award:
Nikki AKA Canarygirl. Nikki was my very first blog friend. After keeping my blog for a few weeks (and before I even told my friends or family about it), Nikki left me a sweet comment and I thought...wait a second, there are people actually LOOKING at this thing? I have been following her blog ever since and she is a big ol' sweetie pie. Her posts are way too cute and did I mention that her food (and photography) are wonderful?
Joelen at Joelen's Culinary Adventures. I have the pleasure of knowing Joelen personally and she is one of the nicest, warmest people I have ever met. And the girl is busy! She is always hosting different food events and welcoming people into her home. If that's not nice, then I don't know what is!
Ruth at Once Upon a Feast. Ruth is so sweet, and she is so great to host Presto Pasta Nights weekly! That takes some dedication and time, and I am so glad she does it because I always get so many good ideas. I just love visiting her blog and reading about what she has going on. And plus, I happen to love Canadians! ;)
