My first Vlog entry: Easy Pasta Salad!

March 12, 2011 by Amy 16 Comments

You may not know this, but in real life, I’m a fairly shy person. I love blogging because my voice comes across in my writing, however, the subject of vlogging has always made me nervous.

I will say, though, I really do love watching vlogs from bloggers I’ve followed for a while. I always have an idea in my head about how people’s voices sound, and usually I’m wrong. It’s always a fun surprise to actually hear a blogger for the first time, you know?

Well, I definitely had to bite the bullet when Foodbuzz informed me that a recipe idea I submitted for their Tastemaker’s Program was accepted! The criteria was to make a vlog featuring my simple (30 minute or less) recipe that uses Newman’s Own products. I couldn’t believe it when I saw the package at my door!! It included quite a few salad dressings, pasta sauces, and ::gasp:: a FLIP CAMERA!! So, thank you so much Foodbuzz and Newman’s Own for this amazing opportunity. You helped me take the giant leap into vlogging. 🙂

Hope y’all don’t laugh at me too much. I stumbled on my words a few times, but I think I actually want to do this again!

FTC disclosure: I was supplied Newman’s Own products and a Flip camera for free, but my opinions of this recipe are completely my own.

      Thanks! Yes, the hubs was the camera guy. Took a lot for me not to laugh into the camera…he was being silly. 😛

    Great job, Amy!
    You look wonderful on camera, and it’s lovely to hear your actual voice.

    Hope you do more in the future.

    I freaking love it, Amy!! You did such a great job and congrats on being chosen to do this! I give you lots of credit for wanting to do a vlog again b/c I’m pretty sure my first experience was my last. 🙂

      Hahaha! Well, it may/may not be food related. I will say this was nerve-wracking. I kept telling myself, “don’t drop the bowl, don’t cut yourself, be careful”. LOL!

    You are seriously so adorable — especially when you said “I am so messy, y’all!” 🙂 (I’m a messy cook too, so I’m with you!) Also, the recipe looks delish!
