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. For more food, I currently write as Orange County Food Examiner on Examiner.com. I’ve been a cooking (and eating) maniac for years and lucky enough to win a few recipe/food contests too – To learn more about that click here.
If seeking information regarding Freelance Writing Services, please visit my main site, I Need Text Company (www.ineedtext.com) – And to view non food-related writing samples, here’s a convenient link for that.
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 Shelly,
I’m a bit late in sending this (ahh the glamorous life of owning a small business:), but I wanted to drop you a line to say thanks so much for the review on your blog. Adam mentioned that you stopped by our cart a few weeks ago and I’m so thrilled you enjoyed our pops. We’re working on new flavors all the time so I hope to see ya again soon at the Lakeview GFT lot:)
Cheers,

Hi Uncle Bobby — I will send you a link to your email. The Burger isn’t available until September. Hof’s Hut may post more on their website at that time. I’ll keep you posted. Great to hear from you here.
Hi Shelly,
It´s uncle Bobby from Denmark. Where is the fantastic hamburger of yours. I´ve heard so much about it- but can´t find it on the website?
Love
Uncle Bobby

Hello,
I was wondering if you accept guest post for your blog. If you do, I would like to submit a few. I’m a recent college graduate, with an English major, looking to build out my portfolio. I can write on a wide variety of topics and am sure you would be happy with the quality. Please email me back if you are interested. Thank you for your time.

Hi Shelly,
Do you have an email address where I can send you a story idea? It’s the launch of the world’s most expensive champagne sabre at a top Champagne house, happening in May.
Many thanks,
Jo

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
