The last post of 2017. Can you believe we’re here again? Another year passed, another year ahead.

As I reflect on how 2017 was for Fork in the Kitchen, I am AMAZED. I never thought that a short two and a half years ago, when I took the plunge to start this food blog, that I would have such a strong food community. I never imagined that I would be creating, photographing, and growing in a passion I love each and every day. I have a huge THANK YOU to YOU, because without you, none of this would be possible.

Cheers to you, cheers to amazing food, and cheers to another year full of deliciousness ahead!

Now, let’s check out both your favorites, and mine, of 2017!
