February 22nd marks the 1st anniversary of my blog (AKA blog-iversary)! There I was, in the middle of the winter of 2013, wearing sweat pants, and soon to be turning another thirty “something.”  I needed a change and I wanted an outlet to connect better with my family.  Was starting a blog my answer?  (See my answer below.)  I can’t even begin to tell you how much I’ve learned about myself, the blogging world, photography, and so many other things along the way.  I’ve met so many wonderful people and made many great friends along the way.  Honestly, the history of Tina’s Chic Corner …

Another chocolate chip cookie recipe?  Yes, I’ve gone there (and I’m sure this won’t be the last time).   Would you believe that this is a healthier version though? A few weeks ago, I challenged myself to learn more about healthy baking and to try healthier dessert recipes (a personal goal for improvement, so to speak).  That might mean one new recipe or 100, only time will tell.  I still must remain true to myself and let’s face it…  I’ll be where the chocolate is.     😉  I began racking my brain to try to come up with a new …
