Another year is coming to an end, and what a year it has been! Personally, professionally, emotionally, it has been one heck of a roller coaster ride, and I am so thankful for all of you that have stuck it out and rode along with me. Without further adieu…..here are The Top 14 Recipes of 2014…..drum roll please…..

In fact, March 9th was the busiest day of the year on Cooking with Curls, with 8,740 views of these Irish Nachos!

For the second year in a row, Marcie from Flavor the Moments is the #1 commenter on Cooking with Curls!! Followed very closely by Cathy from Lemon Tree Dwelling!! Thank you both so much for your support and kind words. 🙂 One of my goals for 2015 is to leave more comments, not just ooh and ahh, pin and leave. Sorry about that everyone!
2014 was not the best of years for me. In between having two different surgeries, dealing with the divorce {something that I would not wish on my worst enemy}, and battling to get everything settled so I can move on has been quite a challenge. Yes, I have disappeared quite a bit this year and I have not always been on top of things. That is going to change in 2015!! The end is near and I am excited to see what fun, new adventures come my way. As always, I hope you join me for the ride! 🙂
Cheers to 2015!!
