Framed Recipes is almost 2, huh? Yep, we are gearing up to celebrate the big day coming soon. Right from the very first day we decided to start Framed Recipes, everyday has been a rewarding, learning experience. These past two years have been hell of a fun ride with lots of ups and downs, learning what is cool and what is not in the blogging world. For two years, we have been sharing a wide variety of recipes with you - that covers the "food" part of the food blogging.
To celebrate our second anniversary of blogging, we decided to share our what-we-learned-about-blogging with you. And it is not just what we learned - I asked a few of my friends to share their amazing blogging journey with us. So, here is a blog post dedicated to blogging (it is not a recipe post), that has lot of information, advises and funny stories to tickle your humor bone silly - hope this will inspire you.
These are bloggers whom I admire for their skills - writing, recipes and photography - these are food bloggers whose posts always leave me a hungry, but happy human.

Cooking for me is therapeutic and my husband loves to take pictures. So, we decided to combine our hobbies and give food blogging a try. My only regret with respect to blogging is that I should have started it sooner. This blog was more to record the family favorite recipes – all in one place – but this endeavor means more to us than just an online recipe book. It has become part and parcel of our whole lives. Read how it has affected us.
What have you learned in the years you have blogged?
Food blogging is not just about food
What is the one advice you will give an upcoming blogger?
I do not consider myself an experienced blogger and I am not in a position to give expert advice to an upcoming blogger. I am also in the learning phase, and every day teaches me something new. Yes, that is my advice. Keep learning new things everyday. Each day would be different – there will be ups and downs. Don’t fret, do what you are passionate about.
Do not give up.

Pinkz - Pinkz Passion
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="20px"][dt_fancy_image type="uploaded_image" image_id="6256" image="" image_alt="" media="" lightbox="true" image_hovers="true" style="1" width="270" padding="10" margin_top="0" margin_bottom="0" margin_left="0" margin_right="20" align="left" animation=""][vc_column_text css_animation=""]Why do I blog?
Our true labour of love, our home is the motive behind my leap on the blog sphere, where every room is tackled with desired perfection after an exhaustive design process with chockfull of projects and modifications. To essay the crooning of our décor saga, and to explode few myths of my décor, blog Pinkz Passion started breathing. The blog is now a platform to belt out my practical décor chronicles of everyday life with occasional ranting 😉
What have you learned in the years you have blogged?
Even though, I consider myself still a new schooler on the blog land, it has unleashed my vision to express my creativity. Blog has urged me to stretch my boundaries to let those long held décor ideas on loose. Mundane interest of décor seems magical with blogging, which allowed me to nurture my passion and craving for creativity. Bonding with my readers and crossing the path with melting pot of new friends such as Sreelatha : ) down on the road, are the most cherished part of blogging.
What is the one advice you will give an upcoming blogger?
There will be bumps and bruises along the way, you might also get initial stumbling block but the pleasure going down the “path” is worth everything. Learn to turn a close eye to the people who strike you down and embrace the motivators, who toss you back where you belong.
What was the funniest incident that you can recall?
I am stretching myself too hard, but nothing funny really happened.
In short...
Leave your cares behind and embrace the opportunity to kindle with your creativity. Develop your interests no matter how unexciting they sound; you will be thankful that you did.

Very important question. If I was not blogging, I would clean and shop so in a way to keep my husband’s wallet safe,LOL. Jokes apart, blogging is a way to channel my creative energy. I love making pretty things – rather it web or through my camera.
What have you learned in the years you have blogged?
Listen to yourself. Never ever do something just because someone asked you casually. Don’t get trolled!
What is the one advice you will give an upcoming blogger?
It’s fine to get inspired by someone, photographs, recipes – but if you follow someone, don’t forget to give credit. No reputation is better than a bad reputation.
Don’t do immoral things in order to get fame quickly(like copying blatantly). If you do, trust me you’ll loose that fame soon as well. Do it with your own pace, if you give your cent percent, you’ll get it back…
What was the funniest incident that you can recall?
A couple actually – A broken pizza in hot pizza stone! Our pizza dough fell apart as soon as we tried to put that on our pizza stone – It was a bubbling mess of flour, cheese and tomato! My husband still has a picture of it.
I fell from step stools while shooting over head with my 100mm lens. Thankfully, the camera and lens were safe.
In Short..
Blogging is a journey! Like any other journey is, it’s not easy. It has ups and downs – don’t get intimidated to fail. Take risk, fail, learn and try again. Without failing and trying, you would never know what you could do. Challenge yourself, life is short my friends.

It is a platform that helps me bring many of my passions (food, networking, teaching, writing, and now photography) together. It is a wonderland that brings out my creativity, relieves my stress, lifts my spirits and keeps me elated 🙂 .
What have you learned in the years you have blogged?
Finding your idols and following their work closely/constantly gives a structure and standard to your learning process. Set simple and achievable goals for yourself and keep raising your own bar every time.
What is the one advice you will give an upcoming blogger?
Being on social media can be as stressful as it is helpful. Know your blogging objectives, be mindful of them, and don’t let the pressure social media can cause steer you out of course. Make your blogging journey a thoroughly enjoyable one.
What was the funniest incident that you can recall?
This happened a few years ago. I had the facility to check my official emails after work hours from my personal laptop. One night, I pasted a line from my recipe into a work email by mistake and sent it out in a hurry when I was multitasking between a blog post and an official matter. It looks funny in hindsight, but I’m sure you can imagine how embarrassing it would have been then 🙁 .

Why do I blog? And in particular,why food blogging?
I think it’s because for me food and story telling are inherently intertwined. I wouldn’t eat without being told a story when I was a kid and I think my poor mum resorted to coming up with elaborate stories to get me to eat something. So as a result some of my earliest fascinations revolved around food and the stories associated with it. And even now it does. I cannot tell you the number of times I have bonded over the sizzle of spices or the smell of freshly baked bread. And my instinctive need to hear stories has over the years changed into a need to TELL stories. Hence the blog.
And ever since I started the community has truly humbled me.
I have made the best friends in this last year, people I haven’t even met, but who seem like such a special part of my life.
And this to me is what I cherish the most about blogging!
One thing I have learned in this past year, is to be you. Have fun, do what you love, never think, “I have to”, because then you wont want to.
And this is what I would tell anyone who wants to blog. When you enjoy something it’s bound to work.

My answer for this question, changes every growing year. I started blogging to anchor my life when I was at the onset of “not so good phase” of my life. When I started blogging, I had no idea about the B of the blog, no clue of staging the food or taking the pictures. Clearly, I was clueless. I was looking for some structure in my life and after almost 3 years of blogging, I BLOG because it brings discipline and structure to my life, because it adds colors and wings to my passion and creativity as an artist, a painter and a writer. And also, because it has started defining me now!
What have you learned in the years you have blogged?
My learning process is still on Sree. It doesn’t know any halt or a break. I have learnt that once you are determined to conquer your dream, there is no stopping you. I was a very technically challenged person, who “hated” the Internet technologies. Blogging has made me a patient person with learning process. I am thrown with challenges, I try to find the solutions on my own and then move forward. It has made me a stronger person. I have discovered the love of photography and styling, which is always so tickling and consuming in a good way. Also, the amount of respect and accolades that I receive, makes me a humble person and thankful each and every day.
What is the one advice you will give an upcoming blogger?
I have only one thing to say – Keep your eyes open and learn every day from others, new or old. It is enriching. Also, every blogger is unique so actually there is no competition. Flourish with your own passion.
What was the funniest incident that you can recall (in relation to your blog)?
If I think in the terms of “funny”, these would be more ironical . My blogging for Meatless Monday, surprises many and I am often asked – aren’t you a vegetarian blogger? Then why meatless Monday? I just laugh it off saying- to endorse that being vegetarian is an excellent choice.
Another funny thing is – many times I make a dish which is dismissed by my husband as an average, but I still go ahead and blog. For some reason, those “average” dishes get more response and likes on the blog .

Blogging is an effectual community where people from all walks of life , all around the globe with varying wide experiences come together to punch in a few keys in their niche domain . I began my journey of blogging about 7 years ago with an intention of compiling my online journal of recipes from family for future reference. It was just a private affair for a couple of months. Gazing through the wonderful blogs online,I finally let Sandhya’s Kitchen come to Life with a new beginning, a new story to unfold with each post. My journey so far has bonded me with a lot of bloggers because of likemindedness and some serious odd coincidences. Very rarely two people would have resembling life experiences, skills and platform, but while blogging, I have come across many . Blogging has yielded me a new role of a Freelancer Food Photographer, which I had never dreamt of ever. And I totally enjoy it.
What have you learned in the years you have blogged?
Its a never ending learning curve for me with every blog post, be it background work for the imagery or with the recipe. I enjoy every bit of the journey and look forward to working on my next one with a renewed zeal every time.
What is the one advice you will give an upcoming blogger?
Follow your heart !!! Its always good to be inspired but please do give due credits if the content,recipe or imagery is adapted from somewhere. Every individual blogging spends a dedicated chunk of their time on their posts.

Shaheen - Spoon Fork and Food
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="20px"][dt_fancy_image type="uploaded_image" image_id="6287" image="" image_alt="" media="" lightbox="true" image_hovers="true" style="1" width="270" padding="10" margin_top="0" margin_bottom="0" margin_left="0" margin_right="20" align="left" animation=""][vc_column_text css_animation=""]Why do you blog?
I stared blogging in the year 2014 in the month of May. I was always fond of cooking and grew up learning few basic things from my mother and grandmother. As i come from a gastronomic family, food has always been my first love. But like any other middle class family, i was always asked to focus on my studies more and wait for the right time in life when i can get into the kitchen as much as i want. Being a medical student, i really never got any chance to prove my skills in kitchen, but i was fortunate enough to have been married to a foodie man. My husband became the prime reason for me to get inside the kitchen and start practicing cooking. Gradually i skilled up and started developing recipes. After a successful cooking tenure i decided to store my recipes somewhere, from where not only me but also the people around can take benefit and get to know me well and o of course learn a bit too. That is how blogging happened, initially it i started blogging to keep my sanity in check and never knew that i would ever come so far. Thanks to all for showering so much love on me and making me what i am!
What have you learned in the years you have blogged?
In May 2016, Spoon Fork And Food shall be completing 2 successful years. Two years back when i started blogging, i didn't even knew how to write a recipe with proper measurements, how to create an article, take appealing pictures etc. I use to surf the internet a lot, reading other blogs, watching youtube videos. Gradually improved my writing skills, tried learning some good communicating skills that makes my recipes look easy as well as interesting to my readers. Initially i started taking pictures with my phone camera, later switched to my SONY Cyber Shot point and shoot camera. I always use to admire those picture perfect images taken by DSLRs, but the one good thing i learned here was, a good styling, a great composition and proper light can make any picture look good no matter what the camera is. It was June 2015 when i got my first Nikon DSLR , finally i can say that i am proud to have some amazing pictures on my blog.
What is the one advice you will give an upcoming blogger?
"Don't blog to prove anything, there is enough competition in the fraternity, so never copy anyone to reach the height. Make your own style and keep the hard work going. One day u'll definitely reach the peak. Stay away from plagiarism, it takes you no where!"
What was the funniest incident that you can recall?
Well there is not any funny incident as such, but i really find it weird how people run behind me for an eggless recipe/ version as soon as u post a cake or a cookie.

Meena - Elephants and the Coconut Trees
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="20px"][dt_fancy_image type="uploaded_image" image_id="6270" image="" image_alt="" media="" lightbox="true" image_hovers="true" style="1" width="270" padding="10" margin_top="0" margin_bottom="0" margin_left="0" margin_right="20" align="left" animation=""][vc_column_text css_animation=""]Why do you blog?
Simple, blogging beats my blues it ensures words and colors stay with me. Every day is a new challenge to make it better than yesterday's. When a reader responds well to my words and pictures there is nothing more gratifying.To me the freedom to fill a blog post with my own voice uninterrupted is liberating and motivating the only limiting factor at the end of the day is my own creativity.
What have you learned in the years you have blogged?
Blogging has taught me to get along and cope with the unknown world better. It has taught me to approach a recipe from any cuisine without any fear and that its okay to not be perfect as long as one is original. The willingness to learn, experiment, try new recipes and the tenacity to stick with the blog without bothering about numbers has helped me improve my mediocre photographing and cooking skills to a great extent.
What is the one advice you will give an upcoming blogger?
Blogging is like one person making a mega serial from start to finish each post is an episode where you are the art director, producer, cook, cleaner and what not if that's not taxing enough and you can painstakingly produce good results consistently without running out of fuel then blogging is right for you. . .jump in.
Blogging is more about the like-minded people you meet along the journey than the actual destination itself. Being with your tribe strengthens you, gives a sense of belonging in this nomadic directionless blogosphere. Blogging most importantly channels your energy into something creative that does not occupy much physical space in your home yet opens a big window to the world, a powerful platform that grows with you over time.

I started blogging to give me a creative outlet for my passion of cooking and food. I started it so that I could do something that truly makes me happy on a day-to-day basis.
What have you learned in the years you have blogged?
Blogging ofcourse taught me how to hold a camera :D. To turn the dial to manual mode and learn to click decent pictures is the biggest lesson I have learnt .
What is the one advice you will give an upcoming blogger?
Continue to improve. Always strive for better.
What was the funniest incident that you can recall?
Someone once told me that I bought food from outside, shot it and posted it as I cooked them myself. 😀 That was the funniest. And when the person visited home, i cooked a whole meal. Never heard any more comment from that person, later on 😛
In short...
Follow your heart. have a passion and work on it. It is important for every one to have a passion, else life would seem boring.

My relationship with food goes back to my childhood days watching my mom cook. I mainly share recipes for Indian vegetarian dishes as that are my niche. I also love exploring other International cuisines.
I started blogging with a crazy idea to blog one recipe everyday and blogged continuously for a year. So, you can guess how hooked I’m to my blog … The recognition and award by IBR for 365 days of blogging was an awesome feeling!
My only advice for anyone who aspires to start a blog would be to enjoy what you do and do it for “you”!
So, if you love some sweets and curry, you will love spending time on my blog.

Through my blog, I've been able to explore food from other cultures, revisit some recipes from my own heritage, and even adapt them using local, seasonal ingredients. The mixture of my love for cooking, homesickness and curiosity often results in fusion recipes like Corn Pancakes with Apam Balik Toppings, where the pancake I used to have in Malaysia and the pancake I now have in the US come together on a plate. From writing about food, I've gained a new perspective about myself and the world around me.

Rafeeda @ The Big Sweet Tooth says
That was such a beautiful read! Blogging is a lovely journey as long as we respect each other's space and allow each one of us to grow, and from experience, the food fraternity has been very kind and accomodating. Two years is a good time, toddler years now... 😉 Wish you all the very best for a long long blogging journey...
