I’ve been working on a list of changes for 2015 and one of them is to really clean up our diets. I’ve slacked the last few months and we’re all feeling it….so there may be a lack of sweet treats in the coming months.

Thank you all for coming back time and time again to check out my new recipes throughout the years. 2012 has flown by and has been a year of changes for me. We added a new baby to our family and I left my job after 10 years for a new exciting position. So needless to say, I think 2012 was a great year!

In the kitchen, I’m trying to get back into meal planning again, I’ve slacked off the last month. I have set some health goals for myself and I’m hoping by cleaning out eating up again, I’ll be able to meet those goals! I’ve conquered some of my fears in the kitchen and hope to continue to do that! I have a list of things to try in 2013.

I hope everyone had a nice holiday. Ours was good but Cooper has been sick. We made a trip to urgent care on Christmas. He’s still fightig whatever he has and it’s breaking my heart that I’m not able to comfort him.

Once he’s healthy, I’ll be back to posting new recipes. I have some great ones to post!
