Top Ten Posts of 2019 and Plans for 2020
2019 was quite an adventure getting this blog started. I don’t think I’ve learned this much in a single year since college. However, my 2019 wasn’t just about blogging. Last year was spent doing a lot of reading, studying, discovering and reflecting on who I am as a person, what I want my life and legacy to be, and what I want to contribute in the world.
My plans for 2020 on the blog are to keep sharing recipes you and your loved ones will enjoy, but also to dive into more lifestyle topics from a faith-based perspective. I’m learning a lot about overcoming fear and kicking limiting beliefs to the curb, and I want to share that! But before I get ahead of myself, here’s a look back at the most popular posts of 2019.

Enjoy!
