Welcome 2015! Is it just me or did last year really fly by? It feels like I was just sitting around drumming up cliche new year’s resolutions last month, certainly not last year! 2014 was one of the more challenging years I have had in many ways, but also full of lots of exciting new things including starting this blog, creating and posting 65 healthy recipes, buying a new house, becoming a landlord for the old one, visiting Vietnam (I still owe you a post on this!), several awesome ski-cations, and all of the little moments that make life so awesome.
Regardless of the rough patches that popped up throughout the year, altogether I feel accomplished and lucky that I have been blessed with so many opportunities and great people in my life. Thank you all for being a part of it!
Even just five days in, I can tell that 2015 is going to be even better. I have some exciting career changes on the horizon, incredible new recipes, an exotic vacation, new nephews and nieces in the works, and all kinds stuff to look forward to. Before getting too far ahead of myself though, I’d like to take a few minutes to highlight some of the most popular recipes on Feasting Not Fasting in 2014.
