One can never have too many granola recipes, and I've always needed a cupcake recipe like that! Your last post is so fitting - and it reminds me that I've been meaning to get a bottle of St. Germain. Now that Whole30 is over, I have no excuse! I'll miss your posts, Katie!

These look so good! I'm a sucker for a cookie with frosting. I'll miss writing here with you!

Thank you for reminding me that I've been wanting to make this recipe!! I am so glad you started writing here. I've loved your posts and the perspective and fun, healthy viewpoint you brought. I am SO GLAD you tried making jam! I wish you could come on over for a jam day - it's such a social thing. I will miss your posts, lady! xoxo

Great job, Mike! And great job, E! I'm so glad the Gift Guide will live on, and I will miss you here!

I asked you about that door and I didn't realize that Sara had used the same one, because I liked hers too! I think I know what door we're getting. And hey, we're in a '53 ranch! I feel your pain! I MUST make those brownies, omg. I'll miss writing for Lush with you, lady! xo

It looks great! I've always wanted board & batten in my house, and I love that front door and window! We're in the market for some doors, because we're adults and that's exciting. I'll miss your posts, and miss writing here! xo

I love anything lemon! I will have to make these. I'll miss it here, and I'll miss your posts, lady!

Oh, Nora! I love that you chose my post for you favorite. What a sweet compliment and such kind words. Thank you for sending me out on this great note! I remember that post about Norway, and I loved reading it. This one is pretty great, too. I don't think I've ever made fettucine alfredo - this makes me want to try! I will miss it here, and miss your posts.

Thanks for sharing these, Dani! Garlic soup! Pumpkin stew! I will miss it here - and I totally remember that coffee post!

Haribo are INDEED the best gummies! My favorite. I've always wanted to try those Harry & David pears. I'll miss writing with you!!

I'm so glad that She Likes Purple isn't going anywhere. Love you, lady. XOXOXOXO

I have so loved writing here and being part of this community. I've met so many wonderful people, and was happily surprised to connect with others I already knew over food. Thank you, Jennie, for creating these sites and inviting us all along. The sites may be over as we know them, but the friendships and memories created here are not. And I love that they'll live on for people to search and enjoy. I'm proud of you for making a hard but necessary decision, and remember: Always better to end things when they're still bittersweet. Love you, lady!

Yay! Welcome, Hillary. This looks delightful. (And Whole30 compliant WOOOO!)

I've always wondered why my French lentils don't seem to turn out magically like the best french lentils I've had. I cannot wait to try this when Whole30 is done! While we're on the subject: I did once learn that if you don't want your (regular, not necessarily green) lentils to pop when cooking, sautee them before putting them in your soup (or whatever). I wonder if the two minute boil is kind of the same theory.

I love that you do the 12 grapes at midnight! I first learned about it when I was studying abroad in Spain in college, and I've been doing it ever since. Theories vary on what it stands for - one for each month of the new year, one for each stroke of the clock. Plus a bunch of other things I can't remember. But I love it! We've had fairly quiet New Year's celebrations the past few years, too. I like doing a lot of appetizers and just sitting around drinking bubbly and watching movies until the ball drops. One year we had fancy apps with some friends (prosciutto wrapped asparagus, shrimp cocktail, fancy cheese plate), and then ordered Chinese.

My Mom has always had Byers Choice carolers, and usually adds one to her collection every year via a gift from my Dad (or lately, via me). I love those Carolers and had fun picking them out with my Dad when I was little. When I was in college, my parents decided I should have some of my own, so they started giving me a piece from the Byers Choice Christmas Carol collection every year. Last year I got the last piece, so I'm not sure what to expect this year, but I love, love, love this as it brings a piece of my childhood Christmas to my home every year.

Yay!! Thank you, A'Dell!

I think I'm gonna need to make this. And yeah, IMMA COMMENT ATCHA. What are you going to do? Comment back?

Katia, this is kind of my fear. We rarely deep-fry anything - maybe calamari once a year and wings once a year. Honestly, I'm not even sure we will get to it. We shall see. But at least it's fun to hang on to the memories!

My husband loves it and makes a point to buy it once a season. He can't do a lot of dairy so he might have a little for a few nights, or have one big glass and be done. But he has to have it. I, on the other hand, cannot abide the nog. Bailey's in coffee? That's a different story.
