On this last day of 2015, it seems appropriate to take a minute and reflect on the year that passed.
For me, it’s been yet another eventful, jam-packed-busy year but I can still focus on the few great things that happened this year. That’s what we all should do, focus on the good that happened each year and try to make peace with the bad. And, as this eventful and stressful year is winding down, I am hoping for a really good 2016. I don’t know how I feel about it yet but we are starting on a good note. There is a saying in my native country, “the way you greet your New Year, is the way you will spend it!” (Roughly translated.) I’m hoping all of you are starting your New Year on a good note and surrounded by everyone you love!
While I was reflecting on my personal happening of the past year, I had to look at the way this year turned out here, on Will Cook For Smiles. It looks like it’s been a pretty good year. Even though I feel like I haven’t been able to give it all the love I’m capable of, I still think it’s been a good one. I do want to grow and nourish it much more next year and I hope you will stick around to watch, cook and taste with me!
So here, I bring to you my most popular recipes from the year 2015.
Thank you for being here, liking what I have to share and cooking with me!

January 1, 2016 at 6:51 amHappy New Years to you and your family. Let me say that you and your blog (recipes and photos) have been such an inspiration for me. The excellent quality is always there. Today my Honey and I will spend the day on the Gulf — you didn’t tell me it was so hot down here. He will fish and I will study LR and PS while practicing on my Photography. Have you gone back and retaken photos for your recipes? I thought I’d do it on some and then perk some of the posts while still creating new content. Oh! Along with that is a resolution to get moving and lose some weight. So here’s to a bright new successful year!!! Pretend I have a Mimosa in my hand.

I am looking forward to another year with you and your blog! Wishing you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2016! Thanks again for all you do and for delighting my senses!
