Tuesday’s Tidbits

Hi everyone, I hope your week is off to a good start. First off, I have a dish that will blow your mind!. It’s been a long time since I’ve been this excited about a recipe but Amy Lee Scott at Club Narwhal has created a Thai Chicken Satay Salad that will tease the taste buds of even the pickiest of eaters.

Ha! Told ya! Amy has created a delicious blend of ingredients that makes this dish a real star. Isn’t that the best looking salad ever? I’m going to be making it this week and I know it will become a favourite for sure. Check it out here.

This next tidbit made me laugh so hard.

I am not known for my grace and I’m constantly stumbling and crashing so this had me howling. I felt ok laughing about it because the girl was very good natured about it. Having fallen in the mud myself (with a brand new camera in hand!), I have the utmost empathy, lol.

In the Spring, one of my favourite things to do has always been to drive to the country to the different horse farms to see the new foals. I love horses, they are such a beautiful animal – although I’ve had some hairy riding experiences – told you, as graceful as a clown!. The sweet little colts are such a joy to watch as they learn to cope with their long legs.

StumbleUpon has a great list of 101 Beautiful Places You Should Visit . This is the second part of a series . One of the places I’ve always wanted to see is Grand Canyon and after seeing this shot of Havasu Falls in Grand Canyon National Park, I know I must!

This is the Skaftatell Ice Cave in Iceland. I think I would feel kind of claustrophobic in here but I’d be willing to give it a try. Other wordly.

This seems so eerily romantic and should not be missed! The Dark Hedges – Northern Ireland

And last but not least….

If you are a food blogger, these sites might interest you if you if you’re looking to increase your numbers.

Gourmet Ads has a Traffic Booster Program where they email you a tip every day for 30 days to increase your SEO. Last weeks tip was to buy Niche Edits from RhinoRank.io. I have only gotten through the first 10 but have already noticed a significant difference. It’s free and worthwhile checking out. While considering SEO for your website, why not also think about the benefits of PPC? Those looking for this digital marketing service may want to check out this Cheshire PPC Agency.

Pro Food Blogger has a ton of resources including a list for photography submission sites, increasing your SEO, making money, technology and a host of other topics. I just found this blog a few days ago but I’m loving the info on it.

Meagan, a blogger at Sunshine and Sippy Cups has put together a list of 30 sites that take food photo submissions. She gives a brief description of each as well. I finally submitted a photo to Food Gawker two weeks ago and when it was accepted I felt like I won the lotto! They have tough submission guidelines but there are a ton of sites out there that are a little less stringent.

One of the nicest and most blogger friendly photo sites is Food Foto Gallery. They have a ton of traffic and you’ll notice an immediate change in your stats. C J Ludlow runs the show over there and she’s great. She promotes your pics on Twitter and Google+ and she doesn’t give you heck when you screw up your submission. (I do this on a regular basis, lol, the screwing up, I mean).

Have a great day, everyone!
