Well now. I took a stroll through these past twelve months of blog posts and found a very interesting trend that took place… an over-emphasis on priorities. Not that it was any surprise since my “word of the year” last year was PRIORITIES.

Which meant two major priorities on this space… (1) a focus on the big picture and (2) a focus on eating well and exploring our own backyards.

Here is a mash-up of 2016 blog posts that fit under those two over-arching priorities.

1. The joy of setting a table.

2. In praise of comfy-cozy.

3. Uplifting the mood in my dining room.

4. “STIR. MY BROKEN BRAIN AND THE MEALS THAT BROUGHT ME HOME” book.

5. Picnics are meant for slowing down.

6. 7 Tips on hosting a multi-family taco night.

7. What’s your passion? Let’s get you a megaphone so you can shout it out to the world.

8. Gimme time, gimme sweet little time.

9. I blinked and then nwafoodie turned seven years old.

10. Sometimes it’s just better to cut up a whole chicken.

12. Celebrate my country tis of thee with a red, white, and blue cocktail.

13. Water popsicles are da bomb… because kids don’t lie.
