11 Questions from Once in a Blue Spoon!

Last week, my friend Taylor who runs an awesome blog full of delicious recipes, passed on the Liebster Blog Award to me. Instead of trying to summarize what it is, I'm just gonna quote Taylor on what the Liebster is: "the Liebster Award is kinda like blogger chain mail minus the supposed horrible consequences if you don’t pass it on." It's a fun way to get to know other bloggers and what makes them tick. These are the rules:

1. You state 11 facts about yourself.
2. You answer 11 questions from the person who sent it to you.
3. You pass it along to 11 other bloggers with 11 questions of your own.

And seriously, check out her blog--I get hungry every time she posts a new recipe.
