Best Recipes of 2014

Some the Wiser is another year older! It was a good year, for the blog and for me. I love the year's end and a chance to review and evaluate the past months. There's always room for improvement, and it certainly wasn't an easy year, but when I'm paying attention, there are always so many blessings to be counted.

For this little blog of mine, it was a year of growth and excitement! Months later, I am still smiling about Some the Wiser's Saveur Nomination for Best Family Cooking Blog. I didn't win, but that didn't dull my excitement one bit. Cooking for my family and with my family is still the motivation behind this humble blog and it's what keeps me cooking and writing.

I'm so grateful to all of my readers who support me here and keep cooking and eating all of these recipes. I love hearing from you and sharing with you here. The work I do here is what keeps this single mom moving forward. Because of the support from my readers here, I'm able to keep growing my income from this blog and that's what keeps my family housed and clothed and allows me as a single mother to be home with my kids. So THANK YOU, really thank you with all my heart. I've got a lot of big plans for Some the Wiser in 2015 so stay tuned!
