From the Monk's Kitchen Series-Blog 1||Dinner||Penne Pasta With Red Sause


Its been nearly three months since i joined steemit and i have to say that i am really excited to be a part of this radical change in the world of blogging. During the past three months, I din't blog much as i thought i should just get the feel of being in this community and go through the Work of other Blogger's before i actually write something of my own.

Food Blogging is something that i thought i wouldn't do, but sometimes you can surprise yourself.
In fact, A lot of credit's for this blog goes to @allasyummyfood,@gringalicious,@bontonstory,@foxxycat,@amy-goodrich, @kiwideb,@michelnilles,@elfkitchen,@lily-da-vine,@vegetarianbaker for inspiring me with their art creating some delicious food. It will be a shame, if i fail to mention my friend @wandereronwheels for bringing me to this platform and also inspiring me with his blog on Charmuri.(Do give it a read)
Coming to this blog Series, Monk's around the world are generally vegetarians by choice. Hence, this food series will exclusively contain Vegetarian food cooked from my kitchen.
