Blog Tour

June 13, 2014 by The Emotional Baker 6 Comments

I was contacted by Katie from Pearls + Girls to participate in a blog tour. This is an opportunity for me to share a little bit more about my blog, as well as share three of my favorite blogs. Thanks so much for including me, Katie. You must go check out her Pink Lemonade Pie. How delicious does it look! 

Pink Lemonade Pie

1. What am I working on?

One of my greatest challenges in blogging is photography. I think I’ve come a long way from the start, but I have so much more work to do. I started blogging at megbakes. Comparing those pictures from TEB I can see a dramatic improvement. I try to take it one step at a time – working on lighting, props and orientation. One day I hope to have swoon worthy pictures like some of the food blogging pros.

2. How does my work differ than others of its genre?

99 % of my recipes are vegan. I almost always try to bake vegan with the exception of a white chocolate chip or a special candy. I find vegan is almost always tastier and a more sustainable choice. However, I still make all the same types of treats as other bloggers – ice cream, donuts, cookies, muffins – there are no limits.

3. Why do I write what I do?

I document all my food journeys in hopes that others will be inspired to try vegan treats. While working on my food photography, I hope to showcase the amazingness of vegan treats!

4. How does my writing process work?

I really struggle when writing my blog posts. So many bloggers share cute stories, but I can never really think of anything to say. Sometimes I’ll share a short story, but most of the time is spent describing the food.

Laura was one of my first commenters on TEB. Her comments meant so much as I was embarking on a new blogging journey. In turn, I fell in love with her blog. Each week she had a different theme like Strawberry Shortcake Week and Hummus Week. You have to check out her creative recipes!

I’m not sure how I first found Baking in Pyjamas, but I’m so glad I did. Laura always has the best combination of ingredients and introduces me to new flavors – how awesome is this cake with lemongrass syrup? I always look forward to what she’s been baking.

I first found Alyssa’s blog through Instagram. We must have similar taste buds because all of her recipes have me drooling. I mean Orange Chocolate Chip  Sugar Cookies and Blueberry Chai French Toast Bake – don’t they sound amazing? Head to her blog now for all these fabulous recipes!

I can’t wait to see what new posts these bloggers have in store this summer. Be sure to follow them all so you don’t miss a recipe!

But never fear, just scoop the remaining in a microwave safe bowl, microwave for a minute, and enjoy. ‘Cause you have to taste test anyway right? 😜

Happy 4th of July! Hope it’s as great as you are! ❤️🇺🇸

PS: Thanks again for another great blueberry season @blueberrythrillfarm! 💙
Feels like soup and crackers on this Memorial Day. Feels like soup and crackers on this Memorial Day. 🥶

Perfect. • It’s something we try so hard to ac Perfect.
•
It’s something we try so hard to achieve.
•
But at times it can leave us feeling tired, unworthy, and not “as good” as our peers.
•
Trying to get the perfect photo, something I use to love to do, started to drain me out more than fill me up.
•
So I haven’t been taking as many photos.
•
Getting the perfect photo would lead to my family eating cold pancakes while I tried to get that award winning shot. Or an hour of clean up picking up all the leftover sprinkles I used for my fancy backdrop.
•
So this Easter I kept things easy. I shot a few quick photos of these Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls with my iPhone and left my DSLR and natural light to the side.
•
The Emotional Baker of a year ago would gasp that I’m posting this photo.
•
But here’s the truth: Every day’s perfect, even if it goes unplanned. Every meal, every moment with loved ones, every walk, everything you do each and everyday is perfect. And just as it’s intended to be.
•
Here’s to a day of finding bliss in the imperfect and knowing it truly is perfect just as it is.
•
Happy Easter!
•
Love, Megan - The Emotional Baker 💖🐰😘

Why is it the simplest shaped cookies are always m Why is it the simplest shaped cookies are always my favorite? Maybe it's the same reason the simplest things in life are my favorite too.
•
Every year I look forward to a round cookie, with icing, and crunchy sprinkles. This year my cookies got a bit of an update thanks to @freshaprilflours and @fancysprinkles.
•
My wish for you this Christmas is that you can savor the simple things, find peace and feel the love that surrounds you every day.
•
All my love,
Megan - The Emotional Baker 🎄❤️😘
