vast world of food blogging Lindsey responded to our questions with her characteristic joy and wersquore surethat after reading her responses yoursquoll want to be her best friend too

Where does the name ldquoHot Polka Dotrdquo come from and who designed the adorable tree logo foryour site

Irsquove always been a huge fan of polka dots I think they represent everything thatrsquos pretty fresh and cutewhich is always a mood I try to communicate in my food and photography Since I do a fair bit of baking onthe blog it naturally transformed into Hot Polka Dot A little alliteration never hurt anyone either Irsquom proudto say that I designed the tree logo myself Design is another one of my many hobbies and I like to dabblewith my own blog design

A couple years ago you participated in the Foodbuzz Project Food Blog What was thatexperience like and would you ever participate in a food blogging competition again

Project Food Blog was such a rush It forced me into a position where I was both confident and secondguessing myself both excited and dreading the next task It pushed my perfectionism and eye for detailinto overdrive as we were challenged to go above and beyond each week It was a huge learningexperience for me since it pushed me outside of my comfort zone time and time again Each week Idiscovered something new about food blogging and I feel like Irsquove grown so much from it It was sostressful and thrilling at the same time plus I met so many food bloggers I still consider kindred spiritstoday I was grateful to get as far as I did in the competition and I would definitely do it again

If you were challenged to a baking ldquothrowdownrdquo which recipe would be your secret weapon

Honestly my Omarsquos Chocolate Chip Cookie is probably my most adapted recipe To create my originalrecipes I like to start from somewhere Irsquom comfortable with and nothing could be more comforting thanwarm chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Irsquove transformed this recipe into so many different cookies just byadding oats cinnamon dried cranberries peanut butter cocoa powder or even jam I pride myself on mycreativity and itrsquos surprisingly simple to create your own recipes just by tweaking a few things here andthere I fantasize about being on shows like Chopped and Iron Chef where you are forced to play withflavors and exotic ingredients Armed with my Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe I think I could accomplisha lot

Are there any culinary tools that you are particularly excited about right now

Irsquom presently engaged in a passionate love affair with my OXO cherry pitter Before I purchased this handylittle tool I would rage over my makeshift cherry pitter comprised of a meat thermometer and an uncappedPepsi bottle Needless to say there was a lot of stabbing and suspicious looking cherry juice everywhere Iadore cherries and since itrsquos cherry season Irsquove been eating them almost everyday In my yogurt on

adore cherries and since itrsquos cherry season Irsquove been eating them almost everyday In my yogurt oncheesecake in doughnuts or just in my face

By sharing your occasional baking mishaps on Hot Polka Dot you bring the art of baking backdown to earth and let your readers know that even really experienced bakers have to figurethings out by trial and error sometimes What are some of the best ldquomistakesrdquo you have evermade in the kitchen

Right from the start I knew I didnrsquot want to be one of those perfect food bloggers Perfect is boring Perfectis meaningless Perfect doesnrsquot teach you anything I think one of the biggest myths about baking is thatitrsquos all about exact measurements and specific ingredients While there is a science to baking therersquos alsoa lot of room to play The most fun I have in the kitchen is when I experiment with recipes and test the limitsof ingredients One of my best ldquomistakesrdquo would have to be my Honey Almond Flower Cookies I wasout of corn syrup like the recipe called for so I used honey instead which imparted a floral sweetness thatcorn syrup canrsquot accomplish To this day I still make these cookies with honey and theyrsquore one of myfavorite cookies

OK this last question is downright unfair but if you had to choose one dessert for the rest ofyour life what would it be

Actually this question is probably the easiest for me The one dessert I could eat exclusively for the rest ofmy life is without a doubt my Angel Icebox Dessert Maybe itrsquos because it took me so long to perfect therecipe Maybe itrsquos because itrsquos a family favorite Maybe itrsquos because itrsquos made out of individual melt-in-your-mouth vanilla pavlovas slathered with velvety vanilla custard topped with a handsome dollop of whippedcream and sprinkled with toasted almonds My heart skips a beat just thinking of it
