ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

To my friends and family, who have supported me through the years. I love all of your genius ideas for recipes that you so kindly share with me. You have endured the ridiculousness of Halloween decorations in August, Christmas cookies in September, and all the ludicrous things that go along with working on an editorial calendar that prepares far ahead of the holidays. I appreciate all the weekends and holidays when we gave up the chance to do something fun just so we could stay home and create and photograph 20 recipes in two days because I had a deadline. Your patience while I worked on vacations and with all the other things that constantly pull at my schedule has helped me create the successful site that I have. You’ll never know just how much your sacrifices are noted and appreciated. I couldn’t have done it without you.
