2014 Year in Review: Most Popular Recipes

I’m taking a little down time to spend with my family and binge read some books. In the meantime, I’ve put together a few year in review lists to share the hottest posts from 2014. Happy holidays!

2014 was the year that I really focused on my food photography and sharing my new recipes with you. I love creating new recipes in my kitchen, and I’m so glad that you love them as much as my family does.

Turns out you all really love my Vietnamese recipes and I promise to share more of them in 2015! In January, I’m going to share my mother’s recipe for light, crispy Vietnamese egg rolls/spring rolls. Make sure you sign up for the newsletter (box in header) so you don’t miss it!
