🙋🏽 Frequently Asked Questions

How long have you been blogging?

I started In Search Of Yummy-ness in 2010!

How did you come up with your website name?

I decided to use "In Search Of Yummy-ness" because my friend Mandy and I were always looking for great places to eat. The website actually started out as a restaurant review blog!

Do you take your own photos?

Yes, unless I've noted otherwise in the captions, all photos on this website are my own. I also do my own recipe development and write the articles myself.

Can I use your photos or content on my website?

If you want to use my work on your blog or website, you may use one photograph and a short excerpt (less than 100 words) from my blog post. Please link to my original post and give credit by attributing the work to InSearchOfYummyness.com. You may not present any of my content as your own. See my copyright policy for more details. Thank you!

Which planting zone are you in?

I'm in Zone 5b/6a (depending on which chart you're looking at). I get cold winters and a short growing season, but I'm learning to make the best of it.

Can I plant a kitchen garden if I don't have a backyard?

Yes!! A kitchen garden can just be a few edible plants on a balcony! You don't need a ton of space. I've been growing most of my edible plants in containers for several years.
