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 – 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, Twitter and Facebook mean so much to me. Nothing would be possible without you.
Some other great Skinnytaste highlights from 2012:

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!

Thanks for sharing
Hi! I just found your blog yesterday and I have already made 2 of your recipes. I must say that your blog is so well designed and here are the things I love:
1. being a foodie on a diet is hard…thanks for giving us light recipes with all the foodie pictures and descriptions!
2. points plus value included on every recipe
3. all of your recipes are categorized so well and it makes finding a recipe quickly so easy. I knew I had 1lb of shrimp and you had endless amounts of recipes to choose from.
4. The recipe box is fantastic!
5. I am a big review person and having so many followers makes it nice to be able to get others thoughts and feedback before cooking something.
Again so glad I found your blog…THANK YOU!
