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 8:39 amI love the scones recipes and have been able to adapt them so many ways as you make everything so simple. I like the flourless chocolate cake and most all your “mexican” dishes. I just drool over the rest.

December 23, 2013 at 8:45 amHI! I love your blog but unfortunately since adding another member to our family (who’s about the same age as your babes) and working full-time, time spent in the kitchen cooking/trying your recipes doesn’t come easy! Tonight I am baking my head off and will try one. Since my little one is starting solids, I think I might try a baby friendly version of the Chicken Meatball & Barley Soup. Thanks!
Larissa
December 23, 2013 at 8:45 amI want to make your gingerdoodles – maybe tonight! And also the Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls will be Christmas morning breakfast. Yum!!
My daughter really wants an ipad mini for Christmas…Santa isn’t bringing one, though. Her birthday is in two weeks. If I win, it will be her birthday gift. Merry Christmas!!!
