When I started this blog, I was looking for a topic unrelated to my work that I could write about every day, so I choose cooking. For a long time, I wrote almost exclusively about cooking, sharing lots of recipes and my thoughts on food in general.
In the past couple of years, I’ve been a lot more sporadic about blogging here, for several reasons. I’m using Facebook for lots of friend connections [and indeed, I cross-post Fixin' Supper there and often get more comments there than here on www.fixinsupper.com] and Twitter for daily commentary. I’ve moved my professional blogging to my company site, Creekmore Consulting. And I’m really busy, what with having 3 kids now and running my own company.
But I’m reluctant to let this go. So now I’m thinking hard about what to do with Fixin’ Supper. I’m contemplating returning to my roots and focusing lots more on food and cooking again, perhaps with a regular publishing schedule. If you’re out there reading this, I’d be curious about your thoughts. What makes you read Fixin’ Supper? What do you like best? What do you dislike?

Thanks for any ideas you want to share. I’ll keep you updated on my thoughts.

I was in a similar spot earlier this year. I just moved my blog to wordpress.com, so I don’t feel bad about not posting on it very often. Might be a non-issue for you, though, as I don’t know your host setup with two blogs…?
If it makes a difference, I’m usually more inclined to read articles on blogs I follow than I am to read something someone’s (re-)posted on facebook. I might be a minority, though, and should probably be disregarded in any case. :)
I read Fixin Supper no matter what you say but I like the idea of going back to the roots of cooking/food, etc. I have to say that I’m with ben above in his comment is that I don’t read facebook as much as blogs. So maybe we are in the minority together. Look forward to hearing what you decide!
