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 8:37 amI haven’t actually tried anything yet. I just found your blog and newly vegetarian, trying not to use dairy products, aside from cheese or cream cheese. I will definitely be attempting the Perfect Chocolate Cupcakes with Peppermint Cream Cheese Frosting to take to the in-laws! Of course I will substitute milk with almond or coconut milk.
