Palada Pradhaman - 50th post and our first award :)

 

     Yahoooooo……!! Don’t think this is an ad for yahoo…just sharing our excitement! We have made it to our 50th post. We started our blog with great apprehension, not sure how far we would go as both of us didn’t have any idea about blogging. So this is indeed a great accomplishment for both of us. A big thank you to all of you out there for encouraging us all this way! We are grateful to our friends and family, who shared their ideas and favorite recipes which helped us immensely when we came up with this blog. It would be unforgivable if we didn’t thank our husbands, without their push we would not have taken this initiative for blogging! Looking forward to post more wonderful recipes and receiving whole lot of encouragement from you………….Getting sentimental now!
