Endings mean New Beginnings

Thank you to all of our faithful followers who either keep up to date with us through the blog...even though we haven't posted much during the holidays...or those who have found our recipes and feedback interesting! 2012 was our first year of blogging, and we have learned a lot!  In the next year, we will have more new and exciting recipes, stories and pictures for you to salivate over. 

Some things you can look forward to next year are some challenges that I'm planning, such as throughout January, I must use something that is already in my cupboard for each recipe.  I have gotten into a bad habit of stocking up during the winter months...I can't pass up a great deal!... and now it's time for me to use up those items.  Another challenge is that I'm going to lose those 20 lbs. that I resolve to do every New Year...but I'm going to do it in 2013, and you all are going to help hold me to it!  :-)  I'll be taking some of my favorite comfort foods and making them weight loss friendly; or just making up recipes of my own.  You can also look forward to more crock pot recipes...everyone loves a crock pot, right?!?  The one you definitely want to look out for is our famous (ok...famous in our circle of friends) carnitas recipe.  

Look for the first blog of the new year this week with banana nut surprise muffins...they have lots of stuff in them, and they are addictive!  

Cheers to you and your family for a safe and wonderful New Year!  May 2013 bring you all that you wish and deserve!  As I close, here is a picture of the beautiful snow we are having in the Kansas City area today.  The big snow flakes and wet snow makes everything so beautiful...including my Christmas decorations!

Happy New Year!
