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 6:04 pmI love your recipe for the Cinnabon cinnamon rolls. I’ve made them several times and they never last long. The cinnamon rolls have become a traditional morning breakfast for big holidays or vacations. I’ve tried several other recipes but because of my sweet tooth, these make it to the top spot!

December 23, 2013 at 6:09 pmIt’s a tie. The garlic hasslback bread and the dark chocolate eggnog mouse cake. The bread is my all time favorite side when we have Italian for dinner. But the cake is the only way I will eat/drink eggnog (I can’t stand the stuff normally)!
