Hello dear readers and a happy 2012! While I am always happy to see the beginning of a new year, this one was welcomed with particular exuberance at our house. 2011 will always remain special thanks to the birth of our Anna- however there were also many months of flood fighting, living without furniture, and unpacking random boxes that I am eager to forget. The holidays crept up on me, whacked me over the head, and dragged me away from the computer for a while. Now with the dust settling I’m back and ready to dive in and share the healthy and fun new dishes we have been enjoying. Here is to a happy, healthy, and dry new year!
