Happy Blogiversary!

Dear Readers,

I can’t believe it’s been a year since my first post. When I started writing, I had no idea how much I’d love sharing my thoughts and recipes, or if anyone would even read them!

It’s certainly been a year of ups and downs. I started this blog, met my wonderful boyfriend, and transitioned to an exciting new job. And in the shock of my life, I lost my younger brother early this summer.

Through it all, I’ve found solace in this blog. I love being in the kitchen, and I’m so happy I get to invite so many of you to join me there.

So here’s to you, my readers–those who’ve been here every day since I started, and those who are visiting for the first time. You make this food blogging hobby richer with each post.

As a way of looking back, I thought I’d share some of my (and your) favorite recipes from the past year:

No Sugar Added Chocolate Chip Banana Nut Muffins
Unstuffed Cabbage
Guinness Braised London Broil
Balsamic Glazed Chickpeas w/ Red Swiss Chard
Quinoa Salad w/ Curry-Ginger-Cardamom Vinaigrette
Smoky Rosemary & Fire Roasted Tomato Beef Stew
Onion Smothered Chicken w/ White Wine Braised Baby Bok Choy
Ginger-Lemon Tuna Steaks w/ Roasted Vegetable Medley
Smoky Maple & Brown Sugar Candied Pecans
Coconut Curry Chicken
Sriracha Spiked Corn Muffins

Thanks for reading–and here’s to another year of recipes & inspiration!

P.S. Stay tuned for my first recipe e-book, coming later this year!
