The mind whirls with excitement at the promise of a new slate. The year 2013 is now behind us, and all of us are ready to start anew. It’s a rebirth of ourselves; a chance to behave differently as we have in the past, and strive to be a better person. That definition is all up to you!
There are definitely things that I plan on changing in my life this year, plans for this blog, plans for work, plans for family. I won’t write out the laundry list here as I have in the past. Just know that I love you, and I’m thrilled to embark on another year’s journey with you!
Here are some favorite posts of both yours and mine at The Devil Wears Parsley this year:

In Love and Light,
The Black Butte cupcakes were the tastiest ever! Paired with the watermelon quinoa would be killa!!
Love your recipes and eye popping photos. My favorite recipe was Buffalo Chicken Profiteroles. https://www.thedevilwearsparsley.com/2013/05/27/buffalo-chicken-profiteroles/
I have made this several times and LOVE it. Keep up the great work!
Love to hear that you’ve made them several times, Cathy!!! Thanks for your support throughout the year. It means so much!! I definitely have to add the profiteroles to that list… they were one of my favorites too, definitely!
