Frequently Asked Questions
Thanks so much for stopping by! I get a lot of questions about blogging, cooking, and how I got started with Stuck on Sweet, so I thought I’d share a few answers here.
Got questions? I’ve got answers.
A little more about me, the blog, and what you’ll find around here.
I really enjoy both for different reasons. First, I like to eat. Second, I enjoy pretty much all foods – there is not much that I don’t like. Lastly, I was born with a sweet tooth so I am always saving room for dessert.
Therefore…Cooking is more of an everyday need and I feel lucky that I am interested in cooking my own meals. I also like that it’s challenging – I am constantly learning. I absolutely love to bake and eat sweets. Baking is more of a hobby of mine and is something that I am passionate about…did I mention I like sweets, too?
I used to work full-time in non-profit healthcare, but decided to stay home and blog full-time after I had my baby.
I talked about it for months, maybe even years, and finally started researching online. After a lot of reading and going back and forth on blog names, I finally got the guts and downloaded WordPress. From there I followed the instructions and recommendations and here I am. My biggest advice is to research and watch WordPress tutorials on YouTube.
I wanted to incorporate the word “sweet” into the name because I knew I was going to be blogging about baking and desserts. As far as how I came up with the name, you can thank my mom for that – she came up with it!
NikonD3100 and I use a Nikon DX 35mm 1:1.8G. It’s pretty inexpensive and takes good quality photos.
I have a ton of favorite foods and meals – I could talk to your ear off about food, but I will keep it simple…for now. So…I am not a picky eater and really enjoy almost every type of cuisine… BUT if I had to choose, I would say my favorite cuisine is Italian, my favorite dessert is banana cream pie, my favorite meal is pasta, I like roasted vegetables of all kinds, and I love goat cheese on just about anything.
