P.S. Dear NaBloPoMo group. You are a very special collection of writers and I've greatly appreciated getting to know you this month (November was a bit of a blur for me). Blessings, peace and prosperity to you and yours for 2012. Take care, and may you continue to stretch and grow. Love, RDK

Okay - done! I think it's a bit weird to have "cooking posts" be my last posts of the year, but then again...the kitchen is in my heart, and my heart is in the kitchen. Final recipe for the Red Gold food bloggers contest... Mini-Calzones w/Meaty Marinara. Super Bowl should be tasty this year! http://www.reddirtchronicles.com/2011/12/crazy-goo...

2011 was a wonderful year, and it was all about me. My goals for the new year, and a fun, nostalgic look back at my first year (seven months, really) of blogging:

http://bloggingcornerblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/rou...

Happy New Year to all of my new fantastic BlogHer community friends. I hope to stay in touch in the new year! xoxoxo

I went live with my first blog post in July of 2011...The blog was everything I'd thought it be but was also so much more. Here's a heartfelt thank you, how I feel about blogging and a rundown of 2011 in my little corner of the world.

Looks like a lot of us are cooking today! I've joined you - another entry for the Red Gold foodie blogger Super Bowl recipe contest. This one is for "Quarterback Wraps."

My neighbor just borrowed 6 cups of sugar an hour ago. Then brought me fudge just now. Is there anything more dreamy with ice cold milk? Probably - - and it has BAILEY's in it, right? Can't wait to read about Ally's Baileys Fudge. resp1016
