Here we go, time for another New Year!!
2015 – I am so not ready for you. 2014 was pretty darn good to me and so much has happened and changed in just one year, it’s INSANE.
2014 was an amazing growth year for me. Here are some of the highlights for me:
*My invisible internet friends have grown greatly.
*Winning the Better Homes and Garden Best Everyday Eats Blogger Award.
*Readers making and sharing recipes on Instgram (I LOVE THIS). Use #halfbakedharvest
*Building a new workspace for myself. It’s not nearly finished, but it’s getting there!
*I may or may not be working on a few special behind the scenes things that I cannot wait to tell you about!!
*This means that I expect 2015 to be an even bigger and better year. I have goals and drive and I am excited. Gotta love some good New Year’s motivation!
Lastly, I just have to give a huge THANK YOU to each and every one of you who regularly read the blog, make comments, send emails and most importantly… make my recipes. I cannot tell you how much you all mean to me. Sometimes I think about all of you out there who read everyday and it seriously amazes me. I really can’t believe it, in fact I try hard not to think about it. If I do, I freak myself out that people are actually reading what I write. Embarrassing!! Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you. I’m hoping to make 2015 an even more delicious and picture filled year with plenty of new surprises and lots of fun!

My husband and I made the Pork Ramen soup a few weeks ago and it has changed our lives. We have so many more of your recipes to try. Happy New Year and congratulations on your 2014!
These all look incredible. I love the ramen recipe so much. And that cake shot at the end is beyond. Cheers to a great year!
Tieghan, I loved all of your recipes. Just amazing flavours and drop dead gorgeous photos. Wishing you a super 2015! Take Care, BAM
I LOVE your fluffy whole wheat dinner rolls – good served alongside anything. For a decadent indulgence, I like to splurge with your lobster pasta with crispy kale and browned butter.
I love that you have a separate category for curry. Your curries are some of my all-time favorite recipes!
What delicious recipes this year has brought! Can’t wait to see the amazing recipes you continue to make next year 🙂
Nom nom nom …
Happy New Year, Tieghan! I want one of everything :).
I made the coffee rubbed prime rib recipe with the blue cheese butter for a dinner party and it was an insane hit! I want to tackle the salted caramel apple cake in 2015!!! xoxo thanks for your amazing recipes!!
