Is anyone else experiences whiplash at the sheer speed of 2012′s passing? I know I am. It’s gone by a ferocious pace and the impending 2013 shows no signs of passing any slower.

You’ve had such an amazing year, Megan. I’m proud to know you and I’ve loved watching you bloom as a food blogger. I’m one of your biggest fans. And vice-president of your fan club (behind Beka). Love your round-up. It’s a perfect way to wrap up a perfectly wonderful 2012. Can’t wait to see what you do next year to top it!
