Hi Friends! Happy New Year, 2019!I wanted to pull some of my favorite recipes for this special day as many of us want to put our best foot forward to a healthy and happy New Year!
I want to take a moment and thank my friend Maribeth Schmidt who provided the pictures for the Strawberry Smoothies, and the Chicken Soup. We had so much fun that day and we drank a whole lot of smoothies! Maribeth loves to do food photography and she is excellent at it! I love watching her work.

So now we begin the journey of a New Year! Many of us have been reflecting over 2018 and looking forward to 2019, some with great anticipation, and some with a sigh of relief. Life is such a fascinating journey, sometimes both wonderful and extremely difficult at the same time. My mom and I were discussing it just today. You grab on to those golden moments and savor them. You navigate the rough waters, hopefully with the help of family and friends. Life is beautiful and unexpected all at the same time. And it’s a gift. As we go into 2019, I wish you joy and peace, fun and adventure, laughter and love! And I hope that this year and each coming year you will discover that this really is Your Favorite Chapter!
Love Always,
Amy
