Winners of 2'nd Blog Anniversary giveaway

Its time to announce the winners and I have to tell you all that the success of this blog is because of its readers and friends who endlessly encourage, support and motivate me. On celebrating 2 glorious years of writing this blog I wanted to give back to the people who have been with me in this two year journey. I must say that the competitive spirit did play well with many and everyone who participated did an amazing job. I had challenged everyone to 'try my recipes' featured in this blog. As they say all good things come to an end, here comes an end to this event and I am here to announce the winners of this contest. As I have mentioned in my earlier announcement post of the tips to win the giveaway, many had followed them and few missed out on the rules. But nevertheless the decision to choose the winner and runner up rests solely on me. 

There were totally 170 entries and it was amazing to see many participate with real zest. I had great fun reviewing the recipes, pictures and feedback that were shared by many throughout the event. I even heard from few dear friends on the discussions they did to try out my recipes :-). Really I feel so blessed to have such amazing readers.
