About
Hello. Welcome to Nibbles of Tidbits, a Food Blog. I’m Shelly Borrell and its publisher. We report about and photograph all things FOOD related — Cooking, dining out, recipes, competitions, events, products and a whole lot more. We review and feature many Southern California restaurants and other fabulous food finds discovered through travel and eating on Earth.
Nibbles of Tidbits is a place to read about the terrific dishes we’ve made, as well as “dishes gone wrong.” If you’ve been cooking for a fair amount of time, you know that many dishes turn out great and some just become that (hopefully funny now) day of enlightenment.
Nibs of Tids for short (probably only once – HA) is a blog about the GOOD, the BAD & the FUNNY regarding FOOD — From Yikes to Ooo La La. We emphasize food experimentation, comparison, various cooking techniques, uncommon ingredients, easy meals, helpful tools, shortcuts, cool ideas and fun stuff.
When not dining out, our goal is to prepare unique and flavorful, high-quality meals on a daily basis. Why not? We report the results of our testing and tastings, good and bad. We’re a ‘Tavern on the Web’ to take away yummy inspiration or learn what not to do next time. Thanks for visiting and do check back often. Ciao.

And if you’d like to read more, I currently write as the Orange County Food Examiner on Examiner.com. I’ve been a cookin’ fool for years and lucky enough to win a few recipe/food contests.

All the Best, Shelly Borrell
P.S. We love reading about interesting TIDBITS, so leave us a comment to NIBBLE on while you’re here.
Hi!
We would like to extend a special opportunity for your company to join us in the first ever Cupcake Camp Orange County! Cupcake Camp is a gathering of cupcake-lovers to share and eat cupcakes for a good cause.
Cupcake Camp OC will take place on August 1, 2010 at the Atrium Hotel in Irvine and we hope to attract over 500 cupcake enthusiasts from the O.C. community.
We’d love to send you more information via e-mail if we could get your address. In the meantime, please check out our website at http://cupcakecampoc.wordpress.com/.
Thanks,
Hannah
So excited about the bacon! I love bacon. OH AND CUPCAKES! Can’t wait to see you and your friends!
Thanks Renee. I’ll be entering again this year, but still deciding on what. I saw the new Bacon category and got a co-worker to possibly enter it. I love the OC Fair too and look forward to seeing you at one of the contests. Good luck to you! @chefrenee
Love your blog, especially the fair stuff. I am a OC Fair Fan too! Hope you enter again, there are some new special contests for Bacon recipes and a Cupcake Classic!
