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 9:06 pmHi Lauren ,
I’ve been following your recipies for a few years now and really love your work and the interesting and modern approaches you employ. I’ve been making pizzas for years, and now that I am getting a bit older, I’ve got to watch my weight, I started making your vegetarian pizza, and I love it. We’ve also got 4 meat eating children (10, 12, 15 & 17) and they are tough crowd to please, and they love these pizzas also! So a big thumbs up from us on the vege pizzas, keep em coming and emery Christmas to you and your new family. Cheers Andrew

December 23, 2013 at 9:19 pmIt could be the Brown Butter and Cream pasta which my daugther loves. She says it tastes like our traditional danish christmas dessert.
Or maybe the peanutbutter cookies that only takes 10 minutes to make. Thanks for sharing the recipes with us. Merry Christmas.
