Most Popular Recipes of 2017 (2024)

Happy almost 2018! Can you believe 2017 is coming to a close?! It has been another incredible year and I can’t thank you enough for being my foodie family!

2017 has been a whirlwind year for me personally and I feel honored to have felt your love all along the way froma part time job in doctors appointments, two surgeries, two pneumonias (one with IVS for 5 weeks), finallytackling learning how to make and edit my own videos (you can check them out on my FB PAGE or click HERE,I post one new video every week), getting settled with a gazillion fun new house projects(with lots more to come – AKA all my bathrooms!), traveling, seeing my dad speak at LDS General Conference, and various speaking assignments including, “Living After the Manner of Happiness,” a fireside talk I just posted to Soul Food about my life experiences that I gave to the youth of our church – wooooweeee!

It has been a busy year that brings one of my favorite quotes to mind, “don’t confuse activity with progress.” We can pack our schedules full but what does it all mean? None of it really matters except intentional loving time with our family, friends and serving others as we strive to become a better, more Christ-like person. The reason for the season! That is my goal for 2018.
