Top Ten Recipes of 2016

THE BEST RECIPES OF 2016 | Making Thyme for Health

In just a few days it will be another year down in the books! 2016 was a big one for me. I traveled to some of the most beautiful places in the world, took the blog full-time, said goodbye to my baby Coco, and started a new chapter with our move to Georgia.

Thinking about what lies ahead in 2017 has me filled with hope. It’s been a dream of mine to be able to focus all of my attention on this site and I look forward to finally having that privilege this year. I want to pour all of my heart and soul into continuing to create recipes that are easy and approachable while still being healthy and delicious. I want to improve my photography, enhance usability of this site, and venture into video more so that you get a chance to see what goes on behind the computer screen.

Most of all, I want to make sure that I’m providing value and connecting with YOU, my precious readers. Without this community my site would be nothing. I am so grateful that you take the time to check in with me and tell me how much you enjoy this labor of love. Knowing that I have a wonderful group of people out there who share my passion for health brings me so much comfort. Thank you for all that you do to help make this site possible. I wish you all of the happiness and joyful memories that life can bring in the new year. Cheers to 2017!
