Want to know me better?
I do. I learn a great deal about myself when I look back over the past year of posts, I see what I’ve gained, lost, learned, missed…
Whether it’s a recipe, a photograph, a story – here are the posts that I best think show the last year

Hi Rachel, I have only gotten through half of your posts, reading through each of your favorites from 2011, and just finished with the posts on your beloved father-in-law, Danny, which brought tears to my eyes and a knot in my throat, so I will read the rest later when I’m recomposed. I have enjoyed your blog this past year and look forward to following along with your beautiful recipe creations and fun family adventures.
Wishing you many blessings for 2012!
