As a girl who uses social media daily, I am extremely thankful for all of the information that I can access through it. I use it to connect with friends, search for recipes, catch up on news, share my pictures and stories, take catering orders - and that all happens daily before 10:00 am. (It's hard to believe that there was ever a time when I clients had to pick up a phone to place an order for food.)
I'm on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat. (By the way, I would love for you to connect with me on social media if you haven't already.) I post recipes on my Facebook and Pinterest pages at least a couple of times a week. You can also see what I'm making in real time by checking out my Instagram. I also tweet about my latest food experiences on twitter - great farmers markets that I'm visiting, restaurant reviews, - pretty much anything that I'm eating.
I also love having my own little corner of the website world, with recipes all my own. Recipes that I've tried and modified to fit my own tastes. Recipes that I can access - anytime, and recipes that all of you can access as well. So to add to my modest little collection of recipes - here's another one - Key Lime Pie.

As thankful as I am for the availability of information on social media, I must say that I am exceedingly grateful that I had the opportunity to experience high school and college before the existence of social media. I'll just leave it at that.
