One year ago today, Savvy Eats was born. To celebrate, Heather brought over blogiversary muffins yesterday. Her blogiversary is tomorrow!
Since my first post, Savvy Eats has grown and improved in so many ways. Most importantly, I have found my ‘blog voice’ and feel proud of my blog every single time I press ‘publish.’
To celebrate my blogiversary, I am giving away TWO batches of Savvy Scones. Though I have the initial scone recipe on my blog, I have since tweaked and perfected it, so you can’t get these anywhere else! The winners will get to choose between these flavors:
- Coconut Chai (the classic!)
- Lemon Poppyseed
- Orange Currant
- Butter Pecan
- Pumpkin Spice
To enter, simply leave a comment telling me what you hope to see on Savvy Eats in the future. It can be a dish you’d like me to create, an improvement you think the blog needs, or something you like about Savvy Eats that you want me to keep blogging about! I will choose a winner on Thursday, September 9.
If you are new to Savvy Eats, here is a quick guide to what you can find here:
- An organized, well-labeled recipes page
- Brain Food 101 posts answering your questions about the science behind food

Happy blogversary! It seems like a lot of bloggers started around this time.
I love “the little things” posts, so I’d love to see more of those in the future. It’s something that’s unique to your blog and makes it stand out.

Happy one year! Being from Glens Falls, New York now residing in Troy…I would love to see a page with local eateries in the Ithaca area. I have heard about how great the food is there and are very jealous of Wegman’s being so close. I have plans to visit soon and a knowing a few places to eat would be great!
Laura – you are in Troy? I’m in Scotia! Did you know there are a group of CDNY bloggers/readers that have meet ups and such? we would love for you to join us! we have a bunch of fun stuff planned for the fall – email me at thenheathersaid at gmail if you want more info!
Julie is even going to be joining us for a corn maze and pumpkin patch trip when she is in town in October! hope to hear from you soon!
Laura! You live in Troy?? I live in Troy!! We need to chat girly!
Hi! Yes, I read both of you! E-mails coming to you both soon!
Woohoo, another local blogger! Well, local-ish for me, local for Court and Heather
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s all.
Happy Blogiversary!!
I really love how your blog has progressed, and I definitely think it is unique to the blog world – you’re right, you have definitely found your “voice”
I’m excited for more Savvy Gardening tips in the future, I think that was a great addition to the blog!
<3
if i won savvy scones, i would cry. [tears of happiness!]
i would like to see more Brain Food 101 posts! I LOVE LOVE LOVE them and often learn SO MUCH from your scientific brain.
i would also like to see the addition of Savvy Puppy come October. cough.savvydan.cough.
I’m with Heather. I’d cry if I won your scones, too.
I LOVE the little things posts!! Partially because I didn’t know they even existed until this post, and I’ve been doing something similar on my blog! <3
I second that vote for Savvy Puppy
Happy blog-a-versary!!!
I’d like to see more about your every day life. The blogs I enjoy most, are the one’s where I feel like I know the writer.
Happy Blogiversary! I’m so happy for you and love your blog! I’m not sure what I’d like to see in the future — just more of the good old you!
Can you even send scones to us Canadians?! I would love to try your infamous scones, I’ve seen them all over the blogosphere!!
I am a relatively new reader to your blog, but overall it’s great. I especially enjoy your cycling posts as I’m just starting to get more into cycling!
I think I can send them to Canada?
I love the posts about canning & more informational “sciency” stuff about food!
amen!
Savvy Scones??? Oh goodness I’m super giddy with excitement now! I really love your Little Things posts…seeing more of those woukd brighten my day!
Happy Blogiversary!
Happy anniversary!!
I’d love to see a pumpkin banana bread recipe – they’re always tough to find!!

Happy Blogiversary!! Very exciting. I love your recipes and can’t wait to see them change for the season. I’d love to see holiday recipes and I can’t wait to see pics from your Italy cycling honeymoon.
Happy blog birthday!!! So exciting. Mine comes in January. My blog’s 1st birthday is actually my due date for this pregnancy. LOL
I love the posts where you share your thoughts and insights on various topics. It really shows your character.
I would love to see more tips on canning and gardening!
Happy blog birthday! Can’t remember how I got to reading your blog but it must have been through a link.:) . I started reading Heather’s blog when she wrote about your wedding recap. Love what you have right now and like you said, you have found your blog voice. Keep doing what you do now because that is what makes you unique. Wishing the blog many more years.
Heather tortured me by making me ride the entire 3 hours back to her place with the scones in my van so I’d love to win some of my own.
I’m a big food knowledge geek (Alton Brown is my hero) and anything you can teach me I’ll soak up
Hmmm what would I like to see more of? Well I love your little things posts and I love your overall writing style I think you have a great balance going on so I would say stick with what you’re doing! It’s working!!
Wow, I had no idea you and Heather have only had your blogs for a year. They look so established.
Congrats!
Coconut vanilla chai scones sound amazing. I love your informational posts since they are a nice change of pace from regular recipe posts that most of us (myself included) do. Keep it up with the Brain Food! Honestly though, I think you have a very well-rounded blog – no changes necessary!
Happy blogiversary! I love good, easy, vegetarian recipes! Specifically things I can bring to work for lunch. Have a great day!
Right now, I’m loving the series about canning.
I know you have a garden going, so I’d love to hear more about that.
I love your blog and wouldn’t change a thing! I’m so impressed with everything you’ve accomplished in only one year (Happy Blogaversary!)–definitely inspiring!
All the best for the upcoming year!
As an Ithaca College grad, I want to see more sights and sounds from my college town! I hope you go to Apple Fest…it’s right around the corner! Man, I miss that place a LOT sometimes. I just saw the comment above about Wegmans…sigh….
Happy blogiversary!
Keeping up with a blog for one year is no small feast! Looking forward to reading more food & fitness tips.
Keep up the great work! And here is to another great year… Cheers!

I’d love to see posts about photography!
Yay!
I love the little things series! It helps me reflect on my life!
I love your blog! Would like to see some Gluten-free recipes. I just recently went gluten-free and now I don’t know what to make. Happy birthday to your blog!
Happy blog-versary! I’d love your baking recipes, and have the zucchini bread to try one day. Keep it up!
I really enjoy the brain food 101 posts — it’s so fun to learn about things we put in our bodies every day.
Happy blogiversary!
Awww, such a sweet celebration for your blog !! Happy Anniversary Savvy Eats !!
I’m a big fan of your blog, lady
I hope to keep reading on all of the topics you have already touched on, plus some more easy peasy recipes that I can make for the work week ahead. We all know how crunched we can be for time to prepare a nice meal,, so helpful hints in that area are allllllways welcome !!
Come to mama, scones !!
I absolutely love your blog. I love the way that you blog and how you dont focus on your daily eats. I really appreciate that you focus on certain things for a period of time and then move on to a different spectrum of your life. Please continue what your doing, because it is very enjoyable to read and to follow!!
Happy blogiversary! I love your Smart Fitness and Smart Life posts. Your blog is so refreshing:)
I love you. And I hope to see more of EVERYTHING you’ve been doing in the future.Seriously. You could post about cat fur and I’d read it. Well…that may be a stretch. But you’ve definitely found your niche, and you can see the love and care you pour into every single post. Keep that up! Can’t wait to see how you grow.
Haha you should give away blog makeovers. Like content makeovers. Visual makeovers, too, but you should offer services where you can analyze blogs and tell people what to focus on. I’ll be your guinea pig.
oh savvy scones, how i love thee!
i love your blog and would love to see more delicious fall-themed recipes in the future. can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Unless said scones are easily veganized, I will refrain from entering. But I want to wish you a VERY happy blogiversary!
Actually, said scones are easily veganized! Just need to replace milk with almond milk!
Congrats on your anniversary! My favorite part of the blog so far is your science side of food posts – they are unique to you!
The Little Things are my favorite posts. We’ve already discussed this though.
I also like seeing how your new place is coming because I’ve seen every place you’ve lived in for the past five years except this one.
So its cool to see all the neat stuff you’re doing.
I’ve so proud of you Jules for doing this blog. I remember when you were first working on it and how much it has changed since the beginning. I know how much, not only the blog, but the community and the people that you meet through this mean to you. I’m so happy to have been on that journey with you and can’t wait to see how it continues to evolve.
Congrats on one year babe!!
I am not an expert cook, and I tend to get impatient, so I’d love to see a series on healthy recipes that are also very simple and quick! Maybe something like less than 10 ingredients and less than 20 minutes.
Happy Blogiversary! How exciting. I really enjot your Little Things posts. In reading the comments I echo Heather’s sentiment about a savvy dog. My dog adds so much joy to my life!
Well for starters – Happy Birthday Savvy Eats!
I love your step-by-step tutorials and multi postings on specific things (like your teas, gardening, right now is the canning) They’re very informative and I really learn a lot! You make it easy to understand and not so technical so it’s easy for everyone across the board to enjoy! Keep up the good work!
I love Brain Food posts and would love to read more… I’m a nerd
I would also love to see a Savvy Puppy, and if it were a dachshund, Long Savvy Puppy could go on my dachshund page!
Scones are one of my very favorites, and would love to see some of those in my mailbox!
and Happy Birthday ~!
Happy birthday! I know you used to discuss it a few times, but you were really stuggling to get motivated in school and biking etc… I am still in school and would be interetested in hearing if you think it was much easier to get motivated and bike more minus school and your injury etc- i personally cant and dont relly like to run so i really relate to your blog in that way. in short im basically saying ilove the mix up of categories on your blog
keeep up the awesome ness! 
I would love to learn more about your home and how you keep it together!
Congrats on 1 year!!!! So exciting
I am LOVING all your canning posts as I’m really getting into lately, too. New recipes are always fun!
That’s awesome! What have you been making?
So far, I helped my neighbors can some tomatoes and I made my first 2 batches of jam – ever! We picked almost 10 lbs of blueberries 2 weekends ago, so I made 2 different batches. So much fun. I can’t wait to do more!
Congrats on your 1 year blogiversary! Wow…looks like I have a lot of reading to catch up on! I have just discovered your blog so I can’t say what I would like to see added at this point. It looks like I will be able to learn a lot here so keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Can I see more scones on here?!?
LOVED the original recipe would love even more to sample the tweaked recipe from the baker herself.
Happy Blogiversary! I love brain foods posts! I’d love to see more of those in the future
I’d like to see more of you’re food science-y posts. I love them! (And you can send scones my way any time… coconut chai, please!
)
