Merry Christmas, friends! Since I can’t exactly send you all a Christmas card, I thought I would share it here 🙂 This year has been a doozie for my little family! Lots of crazy-awesome-ridiculous things happened in 2013 including: adding another member to our family, remodeling our kitchen and publishing my ebook all at the same time {!!!} while still somehow staying sane….I think.
We are so grateful for all you loyal readers. You are so supportive and make me want to keep blogging and developing recipes. I love talking with you all on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and all the other forms of social media I have. Keep those comments coming!

Merry Christmas to your family!!

December 23, 2013 at 9:34 amYour perfect chocolate cake. I made it as a back to school dessert for my family. It was delicious. I discovered it was about the same as my Texas Sheet Cake Brownies but made in a layer cake. I want to try that frosting with the Texas Sheet Cake Brownies sometime.
Thanks for all your work and Merry Christmas!!

December 23, 2013 at 9:38 amThere are so many great recipes to choose from its hard to pick just one, but one that all my family loved was the 30 minute bang bang chicken (and of course we had to have something afterwards which was the hot fudge brownies which are out of this world).

December 23, 2013 at 9:52 amFound your site not to long ago and with the rush of the holiday I’m not sure if what I have made came from yours or not. Hot cocoa mix, gingerbread pancake mix, and turtle pretzels are a few of the things I’ve made from Pinterest so far with more to come! Would LOVE to have your cookbook! “Whoever has the most cookbooks wins!” Right?!

December 23, 2013 at 9:53 amI haven’t tried any of your recipes yet but one of my New Year’s Resolutions is to try at least one recipe from every blog I read and every cookbook I own. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!
