As we come to the year’s end, I can’t help but reflect on the highs and lows of 2012, and try to imagine what 2013 will bring. Today is a gift we should grasp with both hands, and remember that our faith, family, health, our home sweet homes, and the food on our table are all we really need; everything else in life is a bonus!
But looking back, there were lots of Skinnytaste highlights this year, the top of the list was a book deal with Clarkson Potter[1] – woohoo!!! I’ve been really busy testing new recipes for the cookbook, then comes the photography, book design, cover designs, lots of fun stuff ahead! I promise to keep you posted as I go through the process.
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[2], Twitter[3] and Facebook[4] mean so much to me. Nothing would be possible without you.

On a more personal note, I also started running more this year and I’m getting better at it everyday. Perhaps my goal for 2013 should be to run a 5K, we shall see!
