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!

December 23, 2013 at 2:38 pmI just found your website about a week ago so I have not yet tried any of your recipes, but I hope to. I am especially looking forward to trying your Onion Ring Topped BBQ Bacon Burger. I’m a big fan of burgers and always looking forward to new burger recipes to try.
Happy holidays!

December 23, 2013 at 3:37 pmThe first recipe that I tried was your Mediterranean pizza which was a long, long time ago…and is frequently fixed here. I have enjoyed several other things…oh, oh, oh…the granola. How could I forget! I am fixing the eggnog pull apart bread for Christmas morning and SERIOUSLY, my mouth has been watering ever since you posted it! Have a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!!!
