As 2014 comes to an end, I find myself reflecting on the past 12 months, thinking about the journey, challenges, and lessons learned but also to remind myself to be thankful and count my blessings.
2014 had so many highs for me and Skinnytaste – the top of the list was certainly The Skinnytaste Cookbook making the New York Times Best Seller's List – holy cow!!! I also challenged myself to get out of my comfort zone and face one of my fears... public speaking! Still working on that but I've had lots of practice this year with video, TV and radio.
I can't express how grateful and thankful I am for all of your support. Your comments, emails, the photos you share with me on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook mean the world to me. None of this would be possible without you, so THANK YOU!
And now the best part.... here are the TOP 25 Most Popular Recipes from 2014 as well as links to the popular posts from previous years.
