I’m still over here trying to come to terms with the fact that it’s 2017! I took some much needed time off over the holidays and let things “slide” a bit and now I’m scrambling to catch up again!
One of those things is introducing my fabulous contributors for this year! I’m so blessed to have them help me out here on my blog. They bring you guys so many wonderful recipes and help me out! Especially this year when I’m going to be snuggling that new baby as much as I can!
Not only are they contributors here on Julie’s Eats & Treats, but they also have their very own blogs. Please click over and check them out and give them some love. If you love my recipes I know you’ll love theirs too!

Sharon is the baker and food enthusiast behind Certified Pastry Aficionado. And yes, you guessed it…she’s a CPA. That stands for Certified Public Accountant. She spent a few years as a public accountant, and now currently works as an analyst at a large paper company in Atlanta, GA. She lives with her husband, Tyson, who is her number-one taste tester, and their two kitties. On the blog, you can find anything and everything that Sharon loves to eat. She never posts a recipe that she’s not whole-heartedly obsessed with. Therefore, most of the recipes you’ll find are indulgent and rich and even sinful. But oh so worth it!
