Indian Egg Salad

The following is a guest post by Sammy Joyner

When I do take the time to cook or bake, I like to find really special sounding recipes, like ones that I can't really just run out anywhere and buy. So when I was told that I needed to bring egg salad to a covered dish luncheon, I was tempted to just make some normal ones since other people would be eating it too. But this was a huge luncheon, so I thought that maybe I could make something special and if people didn't like it they would have plenty of food to eat otherwise.

I went online with my wildbluedeals.com to find a new kind of egg salad recipe and looked through pages and pages of any kind of egg salad recipe imaginable. Some of them just sounded downright weird, so I too! k into consideration the kind of flavors that a lot of people like anyway.

The recipe that I decided upon was this Indian egg salad that was actually just about as easy to fix as regular egg salad. Plus, I got tons of compliments on it too.

Weekend Blog Hops

Hello my little angel babies. The weekend is upon us and that means it's time for some really killer blog hops. And you know me, I love a good blog hop. So this week, instead of just telling you about one hop, I've got 2 of them plus a little something else I've been working on.

The first blog hop is from the goddess known as Tara from Give It To Me Tara. I like this hop because you can put up any link to any of your sites. It can be your Facebook page, Twitter page, blog, or whatever. Here's the link for this one. Please be sure to follow Tara on both of her sites, as well as at least 2 others from her list. It's just good manners.




The other site hosting a giveaway this weekend is Free Hot Samples. This is another awesome site and you should become a member for more than just their blog hops. This is one of my favorite sites. And again, you can link up with any of your social network sites. I think that's kind of cool that these girls are trying to make it easier to get everyone together. LOL. Here's the link to this hop and again, be sure to check out the sites of others on the list.




And finally, here's what I've been working on lately. Facebook announced yesterday that they are no longer going to allow bloggers and publishers to announce their giveaways or host their giveaways on the site. Also, they're going to try and make it so that giveaway hosts can no longer use Facebook "likes" as an entry into a giveaway. Personally, I don't see how Facebook is going to keep people from doing this, but just in case, I've built a forum for giveaways, contests, and blog hops. I call it the Wanna Win Forums. It's still a work in progress, but I whole heartedly invite you all to come on over, sign up and post your links to your giveaways. I'm hoping that in the near future, this will be a huge resource for anyone and everyone in the giveaway industry.




So go meet some new friends, check out a few new sites, and stop by my new forums and post about your giveaways. Have a happy weekend and party on.

Link Exchange For Craft Bloggers

Attention craft bloggers and avid crafty types. We all know how hard it is to bring traffic into our blogs as well as keeping on top of the crafts we love to create. That's where The Craft Link Exchange site comes in. They can help those who have craft exclusive sites find and link up with other sites around the web.

The main thing to remember about this site is that they only add craft specific sites. In other words, they don't want sites that throw in crafts here and there. They do accept blogs that talk about crafts and online shops that sell handmade craft items.

If you have a site that you'd like to advertise, Craft Link Exchange offers special rates to have a 125 x 125 square posted on the sidebars of their homepage. It's a great way to get your site seen my hundreds of people and possible customers.

But more than anything else, this is a great place to find new craft sites. As a crafter myself, I'm always looking for new places to get inspiration. Not to mention the fact that I love seeing all the cool things that other people make. I probably can't do it myself, but it's still fun to look.

So head on over and check out this site. It's a neat little place with lots of links and a lot of places you can exchange links with and bring new people to your own doorstep. :)
