Name of your blog: Not Your Church Cookbook
Link to your blog: http://www.alisonandersonholland.com/home/Not_Your_Church_Cookbook/Not_Your_Church_Cookbook.html
What your blog is about: It's a journal of food and faith by a vegetarian with somewhat Unitarian Universalist views living in a rural Minnesota town with few vegetarians and perhaps even fewer Unitarians.
Your name (if you're not blogging anonymously): Alison Anderson Holland
Years you were in the program (year you graduated from Hamline): 2006-2009 ('09)
When you started blogging: May 2011
Why you blog: I started blogging to get myself writing again. Since the completion of my MALS degree, I haven't found/made the time to write much. This was my solution.
Who your intended audience is: Those interested in reading about vegetarian cooking, a faith journey, and its relation to raising kids and relating to family and friends in a rural Minnesota town. While I often talk about my family, I don't aim to be a "mommy blogger." When I mention my kids, I relate it back to food and/or faith.
Blogs you like to read: I read a lot of blogs. That's one reason I was prompted to do this. The Chaos Chronicles, On Being, Spousonomics, and Dinner: A Love Story are a few of my favorites.

Advice to or question for bloggers: Don't be shy about sharing your work with friends. They'll no doubt encourage you. I am a true introverted Minnesotan, but once I got up the courage to begin posting links on my Facebook page, I was amazed by the positive response my friends expressed.
PS: I also began writing a blog for work (December 2010) on the latest news, events, and issues in (rural) regional healthcare: http://staffblog.healthcare-allianceorg/
Thank you for this opportunity to share my new blog(s)!
