365 in 365 - time to 'fess up......

As y'all know, I began a challenge at the beginning of this year to post 365 recipes in 365 days.  I began the year with a great start.  As time went on, my full time job commitments increased,  I was promoted and had some staffing changes at work so I was unable to keep up the pace that I had so eagerly begun.

It is December 21st and I am too far from my original goal to reach the finish line by the 31st.  But......this does not mean that I won't keep developing recipes and writing.  I fully intend to keep plugging away at completing 365 recipes....but, with an extended deadline.

I am not disappointed that I did not reach my goal.  I am actually very happy that I have been able to accomplish as much as I have during 2011.   My accomplishments in 2011 are:

• I created a bunch of new and original recipes 
• I was the featured cook in the November 2011 issue of Plano Profile
• I was able to launch a web site 
• I received some great advice from Sara Moulton, who is a very warm, sweet and generous person
• I continue to have lots of visitors to my blog from all over the world

Things left to do:

• Reach the goal of 365 recipes
• Raise enough money to publish my cook book
• Get to baking my cookies so I can offer them for sale in 2012
• Spend more time on my blog connecting with my followers and visitors

But, most importantly - Thank y'all so much for your visits to my blog, your patience and for following my kitchen adventures.  I appreciate each and every one of you.

I wish you many blessings this year and in the coming years.

Happy Holidays!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

From the heart of my purple kitchen to you,
