For the next several Saturdays, I’m spotlighting the wonderful contributors I have here at ‘Or so she says…’.  I really, really love my gals.  They’re all super talented and great to work with, so it’s easy to brag about them.

Previous Brags: Cathy of Lemon Tree Dwelling, Brooke from Blissful Roots, Lauren from The Thinking Closet, Jeanie of Create and Babble, and Melissa of Ellison Reed.

Today I want you to meet Ruthie of What’s Cooking with Ruthie.

Ruthie is a force to be reckoned with in the food blog world.  She’s kinda quiet, super-duper-duper nice, thoughtful, generous, and all those good things.  When it comes to blogging, improving her skills, and getting the job done, she is on fire.  She could already cook like a rock-star to begin with, but THEN she goes and signs herself up for culinary school!  I admire that.  She knows how to cook a mean dish, but at the same time, she is a mom of many and considers health and family friendliness in her recipes.  If you’re on Pinterest, you have to follow her.  Out of all the people I follow, she’s a favorite… she always pins the yummiest recipes and greatest ideas.  Of course, you can also find her on Facebook.  She also just put out her first cookbook (e-book.)  Find it here:

And now it’s time for ‘Your Great Idea’ Link Party!
