Another year has suddenly gone by . . . time truly does fly by far too fast!

I don’t know about you, but I think this is just nuts!

In this past year, I could not spend as much time in the kitchen due to my new position as a Dean at the university where I teach. I missed cooking more than I liked my new position

. . . follow your heart, it never leads one astray.

So in 2015, one resolution is to spend more time in my kitchen and gardens . . . to smell the roses (literally) and enjoy the fruits of our labor on the acreage.

When I was in the kitchen, some really delicious recipes churned out that readers loved, pinned, liked, shared, and prepared to make tummies happy.

And here are The Best and Most Popular Recipes in 2014 on La Bella Vita Cucinawith the absolute most popular recipes at the end!!

  Hi Betty, Thanks so much. . . my year was also a bit too much on the fattening side; hopefully that will change in 2015!
