The anniversary passed me right by, but I realized the other day via LinkedIn that I’ve been at my new full-time gig for six months already. That time just flew by! I guess that’s what happens you’re in neck deep with recipes, snacks, sweets and everything good in this world.
Anyways, I thought I’d mark this occasion by sharing a few fun things that I’ve been up to at Taste of Home.
Taste Tests
Really and truly, conducting taste tests at work is one of my favorite things ever. Every week we round up a handful of products and compare them side-by-side in a blind tasting. It’s incredibly fun and also incredibly surprising to see what brands really rank as number one!
By and large my favorite test was boxed wine, but here are a few other faves too!

Passion Projects
But working isn’t all just testing snacks of course. I also get to write up some really fun pieces that just speak to me. Obviously one of my favorite pieces that I pitched, was this amazing GBBO copycat slideshow. But there are a few others, too!

We Tried Internet Famous Pan-Bang Chocolate Chip Cookies (and Loved Them!)
Near & Dear
I’ve also got to work on some really fun projects and a few that are super close to my heart. It’s really such a pleasure to share recipes and foods that are special to me with the whole internet (not just this itty bitty, irregularly updated blog). One of my favorite pieces that I’ve got to share was my mom’s recipe for potica. But I also liked sharing my take on pierogi (which 99% of Facebook commenters hated, but I still manage to sleep at night).

And there you have it! A really brief summary of my time at Taste of Home so far. Hoping the next six months are even sweeter!
