    The Top 12 Recipes of 2013 - on www.HappyFoodHealthyLife.com

    Where has the year gone? This has truly been one of the quickest years of my life. Between our attempts at trying to have a baby, moving into a new home at the end of the summer, sleeping just a few hours each night while trying to grow this blog and work full time outside of the home, and just living normal life, there has been a lot that has kept the time moving quickly.

    I have to say that this year has been absolutely wonderful for Happy Food Healthy Life. If you had asked me last year at this time if I thought I'd have more than a few views or pins on each of my recipes, I'd say no way.  But let me tell you something. My number one recipe of 2013, my Pink Starburst Cocktail, has been pinned over 72,000 times! Can you believe it?! I am so lucky to have wonderful readers who support me in my venture to share all sorts of foods, whether they're healthy or not, all in the name of enjoying food without any regrets or a guilty mind.
    /

    I read each and every one of your comments on both Facebook and the blog. I notice all the shares and re-pins. I just feel so grateful to have you all. And in my almost 2 years of blogging, can you believe I've only gotten one negative comment?! I have the nicest readers, it's true.

    Before we get into the top 12 recipes of the last year, I also have to thank you for helping me reach yet another milestone. Just last week, 20 months after starting Happy Food Healthy Life, I reached 1,000,000 (yup, one MILLION) page views. One million pages have been seen on my site, and that just baffles my mind! (granted, probably about half of them came from me checking up on things....)

    So without further ado, I'm excited to show you the Top 12 Recipes on Happy Food Healthy Life from 2013.
