This year has been rough in so many ways, but also a blessing in many others. This was the best year yet for the blog and all of that is because of people like you! There were definitely some baking fails, but some amazing ones too.

Summary

I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty sure we’re all ready for this year to be over. However, a lot of great things have come out of this wonderful time.

• Our recipes were featured in a few different brands like Taste of Home, Karo Corn Syrup, Organic Valley, Bob’s Red Mill…
• We posted waaaay more recipes this year than ever – 71 in fact.

• Being home and doing school online has given me a lot of extra time to bake and create for peeps like you.
