Hi, my name is Lisa. You can probably see why I call myself “The Pink Gourmet”. I love the color pink. I guess I should tell you I am an Elementary Special Education Teacher, which explains the Hearts on top of my head. I have loved cooking since I was little. I used to stay in the kitchen while my mom and grandma were cooking. I learned so much from them. I am not an expert but love the challenge of cooking. For me cooking is like therapy. I like to try new recipes. Since I have been on Pinterest I have pinned lots of recipes and decided that I would try the ones I pin and then tell you what I think about them. I will also blog about other recipes not found on Pinterest including family recipes and recipes from other sources. I am going to give the recipes I try a rating using hearts. I hope you will enjoy this blog and would love to hear any comments or feedback. I also hope you will try some of the recipes on this blog. Bon Appetit!!!!

Hi, I really enjoy your blog and have nominated you for the “Inspiring Blog Award” There are a few rules to this nomination (these aren’t my rules, so do what you want…no pressure) you need to give a shout out to me, of course, tell us 7 things about yourself, true or otherwise, and then nominate 15 bloggers, that’s the tricky part, if you don’t have 15, don’t sweat it, just pass it on to someone….share the joy by following this link, http://my-sweet-addiction.com/2012/08/13/ramblings-about-candy-and-baking-can-be-inspiring-2/ …….and good work!
Thank you very much!!! I have only been doing this for about a month so I am really honored!
But you have been a good cook for soooooo long!! Spirit my dear! ❤
Thank you Linda!! I really appreciate you saying that…..

I think that in honor of the State Fair you should make a deep fried something. By starting now you have a month, so I know you can create something wonderful.
Your blog is lovely. It’s nice that you post many pictures with your recipes; it entices viewers to try your recipes right away. 🙂 Also, my favorite color is bright pink. I guess that makes us “pink” sisters. LOL
POET KAYLYNTE, Thank you very much for the niece compliment! I know when am trying a new recipe I would like to see more pictures of what it should look like as I go along. I think we are definitely “pink” sisters. 🙂
Your background theme is really attractive. You looks amazing in pink and on pink website background.
