Yeah.
Me too.
I sincerely apologize for the lack of posts lately, who knew how much work would go into moving into a new home and how many weekends they would take up?? Sigh. As most of you know, I work full-time at a law firm so anything else I need to get done I try to squeeze in between 6 and 10 PM or on the weekends. With that said, I FINALLY have an entire two days to myself this weekend!! Things have been slowing down with the house now (aka I must stop shopping) so I'm looking forward to sharing some delicious recipes I've been trying out.
I also have some exciting new things happening on the blog front as well! I'm currently undergoing a whole new brand re-design and plan on launching my new site this spring. That's another reason I haven't been working on recipes too much. Not only will it be easier to find and print recipes, but I've been developing my own dishes for the past few months and am super excited to share them with you soon!
It's amazing what you learn over the years after starting a food blog. At the time I wrote my first post I was living off of lean cuisines, Splenda and diet coke....yes and calling it healthy. Boy was I WRONG. From here on out, you will no longer find Splenda in any of my recipes, and any recipes containing it will be modified. I still have diet cokes now and then (can't quit smoking in a day right??) but I have at least 2 bottles of water for every diet coke I consume. I guess that's my educated justification. Everything is a learning process and I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of the things I've learned over the course of starting this little blog that may help you all. Mostly that living an 80/20 lifestyle -- 80% clean eating with some indulgent treats now and then, has been the greatest thing I've done for my body.
Can't wait to show you all this new space!

Awesome!! Your food posts are the only ones I ever pay any mind to because you put them together so beautifully AND you can totally sense the passion behind each post.
i LOVE that about you, girl!!
I'm sure the Blog World will receive your next awesome post with open arms-- because you are totally missed.
AND, congrats on your new site! Looking forward to seeing it up and running!
hugs to you and enjoy settling into your new home!
Cant wait for new recipes!!! I LOVE all the ones I have tried from you & so does the family!!!
I do pretty good at eating healthy, non-processed foods but for some reason can't quit Diet Coke! It's truly an addiction!
Can't wait to see the new site and all the new recipes! Your blog is basically my go-to site when I need dinner ideas :)
Can't wait to see the new brand & design reveal! Yay for the 80/20 rule. It works when applied to EVERYTHING!
All great things happening for you!! I also feel guilty for my lack of posts, but I'm in a similar position. I have a full-time job (just started a new one, actually!) that's very demanding. You can't beat yourself up over it, is what I'm coming to realize. Blogging at its core is a hobby that we love to do, it should be fun and not another obligation!
Congratulations on your new house, can't wait to see new photos and the new redesign!
That is awesome news Kelly! I am very happy for you and the direction of your blog! You've worked so hard and I've truly enjoyed watching your blog grow grow grow! And I can't wait to see your new design!!
Looking forward to all the new changes!
You have a diet Coke as long as I can still inhale 1 tiny Mt. Dew a day!
I can't wait to see the future posts! Honestly I love your blog and if you decide to take it in a different direction I know it will be just as good!
I can relate to the diet Coke addiction. I finally broke the habit when I got pregnant, but sometimes I still feel tempted.
If I didn't employ the 80/20 rule myself, it would be bad. I can't do all or nothing, sometimes I just want the cheese or the pizza or the cupcake. But, as long as you don't eat/drink/etc like that every meal, every day...it's a health relationship with food :)
yeah! gald to here that's you'll be back with some new recipes. can't wait to here about them.
have a nice evening! :3
Can't wait to see the new layout! You've made up for lack of recipe posts in house photos so its ok! And, its beautiful btw! So glad you're kicking the Diet Coke habit!!
looking forward for new design and recipes. Habits are hard to kick easily but im proud of positive changes you are making.XOXO
Yay! This is such exciting news. Can't wait to see the new site and new recipes!
I'm undergoing a new re-design too, so I completely understand how you feel about "holding off."
Cheers!

It really is all a learning process and a lifestyle change - good for you for making a commitment to it! I've been working as a barista recently and my coworkers think I'm nuts when I get to ranting about how using Splenda or sugar-free syrup does NOT automatically make that frappuccino or that whole milk latte with extra whip cream "good for you"...yikes. Keep it up!
Don't feel bad about taking a weekend break! I work full-time plus 2 other side gigs and I hear you. It can be draining. Sometimes you just need a little rest. Hope you enjoyed it and I can't wait to see your new creations. Keep up the good work!
Can't wait to see the new design! And I can completely agree with how much I have learned nutritionally since I started my website too. Have a great day!
Probably the happiest part is to decorate your home with your ideas and looking for some new recipe posts specifically vegan recipes with low calorie for diet plans.
Can't wait to see the new site! I love it now, too! I've made and enjoyed numerous recipes from your site and I also love the Sponser Spotlights. I've found alot of interesting blogs that I really enjoy reading! Thanks! :)
You are more than welcome to come and check out my (NEW!) blog! :)
I can't wait to see your new design and recipes. It's been frustrating coming to your site and seeing the countless Sponser Spotlights and not having any recipes to look at. I've tried many of them, and can't wait to try more :)
