Happy Holidays, loyal followers! I have been down and out with what I believe to be H1N1. It isn't pleasant, but I am almost through it. . .tomorrow will be day 7 and I am definitely on the mend.

I promise I will provide an end of the year entry, as well as an awesome recipe or two to ring in the new year! Promise.

Tomorrow I hope to be feeling up to it. Here is some food for thought, in the meantime, while you plan your New Year's celebrations.
