1 Year Blogiversary

I can’t believe I completely missed it, but I did.  I missed my 1 year blogiversary by 7 days.  And I can’t believe I’ve been blogging for an entire year! 

A year of sharing myself, my family, my passions.  A year of letting you all into my little world.  A year of changes.  A whole year.  I still can’t believe it. 

We were actually in Chelan at our condo when I wrote my first blog post.  I had thought about starting a blog for all of about a week.  Huebie thought it would be a great idea so I shared some thoughts on starting a blog, and a recipe.  That’s why I originally started this blog; to share my love of baking and expand my cooking skills.  I never thought it would turn into more until I decided to change the name.  I wanted to blog about more than just food.  I wanted to be able to share all my loves with you.  Food, family, our home, health and fitness, and just general….stuff.  A Touch of Grace better represents me.

I’ve learned so much, met some amazing women and have really enjoyed having something I can call my own.  And although I wish I had more time to spend over here on the ole’ blog, fine tuning my layout, searching for more opportunities to collaborate with folks and perfecting my photo editing skills, I love the time I do get to take out of my busy day to read others’ blogs, answer comments and search for new great blogs to read.

So I just want to say thank you.  Thank you for all the support you’ve given me over this last year.  The kind words, comments and emails. 

So I thought since I started this blog with a recipe, it would be fitting to share a recipe to celebrate my one year blogiversary.

Ingredients:
* 1 lb. chicken breasts (or 2 whole breasts) cubed
* 1 16 oz. box rigatoni pasta
* 1 green pepper, diced
* 1 orange pepper, diced
* 1 tablespoon minced garlic
* Alfredo sauce.  I use this recipe (sorry, no source found).

Directions:
* Cook pasts until al dente.  Drain and set aside.
* In a separate skillet, cook cubed chicken until fully cooked
* Add in peppers and garlic and saute about 3 minutes.
* Add pasta and mix.
* Add alfredo sauce and stir.

And that’s it!  Super simple and quick.  We had dinner ready in 20 minutes.

Enjoy!
