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 8:24 amThe Cinnabon cinnamon rolls recipe was the first recipe I tried from your site, and I have the fondest memories of it. My friends and I were craving Cinnabon but living in a rural area overseas, and we found the recipe and THEY WERE PERFECT. Good times. Merry Christmas all!

December 23, 2013 at 8:27 amMerry Christmas and Happy Holidays! My favorite recipe is the biscuits and gravy! I moved from Georgia a few years ago without really knowing how to cook (still learning) and this recipe takes me back to the south and reminds me of being with my family around the table.
I have loved everything I’ve attempted, but that is my favorite. Whether or not I am selected, your recipes put a smile on my face and warmth in my heart. 🙂
Thank you for sharing!

December 23, 2013 at 8:27 amI made the funfetti cake batter truffles (though they didn’t look as gorgeous as the photo, they tasted wonderful!) And I will be making the Christmas cocktails on Christmas morning for my whole family while we enjoy brunch!
Thanks for being such a resource for me as I am newly single and starting life on my own, all over again, while loving being in the kitchen more and more!
Merry Christmas!
