Broccoli Ramen Salad

07.12.16

Broccoli Ramen Salad! the perfect summer recipe. we loveeeee that it's delicious cold and that you can leave it out during parties/cookouts without worrying about it going bad! (also - whole30 adaptations in the recipe!) | thepikeplacekitchen.com

i planned on starting this post off telling you about how i'm drooling over these pictures….

but i changed my mind and i'm not doing that

insteaddddd i wanna tell you that i made this recipe for friends over this weekend and it won over a veggie hater (who went back for seconds – potentially thirds?) AND two of the friends said they planned on making it too because its perfect for summer.  YUP.  (also, frankie loves this too – he was the one who actually requested it for the Euro Final) Read More

Traffic & Income Report: through April 2016

Blog Traffic and Income

OH HI!  ITS SCARY POST TIME.

I think this might be the most nervous I've ever been to write a post.  but also excited?  but really really nervous.

today…. we're gonna put it all out there.  we're gonna take a trip down memory lane and go through the various transitions/changes this blog has had.  I'm gonna let you know just how much I've spent on this little blog of mine.  if I've made ANY money at all.  what the traffic has been like for the last year or so.  annnnddddd what the plans are for the future.

to me, this post is just laying it all out there – just fair warning, it'll probably be pretty lengthy because we're really going to go through EVERYTHING.  so then we can move on.  and see how things change as I use different tools/strategies/directions.  which means i'll be doing monthly traffic and income reports.

in case you're wondering “why?” – there are a few reasons.  1) it'll keep me accountable.  you guys will know where I've been and what my goals are.  2) I find these types of posts from other blogs SUPER helpful in terms of various strategies to try out and 3) I sort of think it'll be fun!

let's do this…. Read More
