You may have noticed a new sidebar to the right. I found out late last week, right when I was returning from New York, that I made it as a finalist in Saveur Magazine’s Best Food Blog Awards.
Out of 40,000 entries, the editors chose my little blog as one of the top blogs in Culinary Travel, along with five others.
This is a huge deal for me. Saveur is one of the top food magazines in the country and I buy it every time I’m in the States. There aren’t many outlets left publishing the kind of work they do: personal, emotion-driven food stories, which have nothing to do with hot new trends.
Will you vote for me? You do have to register your email address, and you can only vote once.
Voting is open through April 26.
Even if you don’t have time to vote, or you feel weird giving out your email address, I want you to know that I appreciate you reading and commenting. (Or, in some cases, not commenting, which is okay too. Being a lurker is perfectly fine.) You guys make this a better place.
Hi Lesley,
I’ve been reading your blog for a while and I have to say you definitely deserve this award! I love your blog, both in terms of content and design. Congratulations and you are certainly getting my vote 🙂 Best of luck!
Thanks so much Nicole!
Yes! Congratulations, Lesley. This recognition is very well deserved! I, too, enjoy your blog and love it especially when you feature small towns and their fiestas.
Oh, I just voted. 🙂 Good luck!
Thanks for your input and your vote, Tita! I’m hoping to do another small-town post in May.
Congrats on your nomination for Best Culinary Travel Blog on SAVEUR.com. Very well deserved! I just voted for you! We are lucky enough to be nominated for Best Regional Cuisine Blog and Best Group Blog. I’ll be putting together my own list of picks to suggest to my friends and wanted to say you have my vote! Buena suerte!
Yes Yvette, double congratulations to you. That’s an amazing feat. I’ll be voting for you in both categories. 🙂
You must be ecstatic to have this recognition. I was captured by the name of your blog, because “Mija” is so familiar to me…I am not fluent, but words, phrases, the food is undeniable. I have subscribed to your blog and have seen the food, people and events through your eyes. I forward your articles to my “mijas” and “mijo” who are foodies all. Felicidades! Absolutely, going to vote for you!
Thanks so much Elizabeth. I’m so glad you’re reading and enjoying it!
You have my vote Les! Good luck to you.:-)
Congrats…just posted my vote for you! Your blog has been a great resource since I decided to move to DF last year. Lots of inspiration and useful tips! Thanks!
Buena Suerte, mi voto fue para ustedes y gracias por su blog tan delicioso.
OMG Lesley! C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s. I just voted for you. You must feel very proud of yourself. These are the two things that I love: reading about Mexico through your eyes and having met you at the Mexican cooking school! Now we can say we were compañeros de metate ¿O no? (I still have this lump in my right hand from having used the metlapil).
William.
Amazing! so proud of you!
