Well, this break took a bit longer than I expected, but I was really trying to figure out what to do with this blog. I've been researching about what makes a blog successful and there's a consensus: the website must provide UNIQUE and VALUABLE content for the readers. Piece of cake, right? Not for me.

The Internet is such a wonderful place because you can find anything you want. So, there are probably zillions of pages talking about food. How can I say something new about it when there's so much information out there? I'm still trying to answer that question.
I the mean time, I tried to figure out what information I do have that's slightly different from the rest. In this search for uniqueness, I decided to talk more about what it means to live and eat in the Caribbean, Latin America and Venezuela. It took me a while to realize that my regular meals (arepas, for example) might be new for some of my readers. Be prepared to read a lot about tropical meals and the wonderful fruits we enjoy here.

Furthermore, I tried to understand what seemed valuable to you, the readers. I'm still unsure about this, but my attempts at replicating recipes are gone, at least for a while. From now on, I'll focus more on writing about the nutritional value of certain foods, the history behind some famous meals, scientific facts and cultural trivia.

Finally, I decided to have a more dynamic approach to this blog. I'd like to know what your food related questions are and I'll do the research for you. I'll post my findings once a month, depending on how many questions I receive. Are you ready to start asking?
That's all for now, folks. I hope you enjoy these changes and that we spend more time together. Thank you very much for your support.
Take care,
Sarah
Original Articles. Constant-Content.
Welcome back!!!
That's nice. I like your ideas for the blog, and hope readers enjoy the new features.
I agree that being unique and providing value to the readers is the right formula for success, just don't go overboard. I enjoyed also the commonalities we share, like finding the right diet or the right meals, or the struggle to find motivation to work out. Also, I believe that adding scientific background to your articles in an easy to understand format, spiced with some wit and humor is a recipe for success.
And don't forget, we like gossip, so if you have anything going on for you, found the secret to happily-ever-after, or just uncover the the mystery of how to park in reverse, let us know. We might even share our own stories.
Take care and keep on writing!
Thanks for such a lovely welcome. Ok, ok, I'll still include some of my personal life, don't worry. If I do discover any of life's misteries, I'll be sure to post it here.
Thanks for writing and remember you can ask questions now, if you feel like it. Take care.
Thx for connecting with me on foodbuzz. I have added your feed to my reading list and can't wait to learn more about you and your food.
Hi CJ! Nice to meet you!
