Is it me or did this last year seem like someone hit the fast forward button and time just flew by? Only if there was an extra slow motion button to use every so often!

To celebrate New Years Eve I have the Top 10 Post of 2015! You all obviously have good taste because this years top recipes could and do easily grace our table on a regular basis.
I could have never imagined when I started this blog 4 years ago how many of you would be making my recipes on a regular basis! I love that you leave me messages or tag me in pictures on Facebook and Instagram of the recipes you made from Serena Bakes Simply From Scratch.
It was fun to see how many of you were enjoying the same Turkey that graces our table every year for Thanksgiving and to know your family loved it as much as we do! You also blew up my email requesting my recipe for Crock-Pot Stuffing so Colt made sure to grab a few photos at Thanksgiving so it was no longer just a promise of a recipe.
Traffic dropped briefly after Thanksgiving only to spike to another record high on Christmas Eve, other bloggers were talking about a slow down in traffic but we were still chugging along! That again is all of you choosing to let me be part of you Christmas Eve / Day celebrations! I really couldn't have asked for a better Christmas gift then knowing you were enjoying the recipes as much as we do!
My heart was completely overfilled at this point but on December 27th when traffic really should have dropped y'all continued sharing my recipes, and Banana Pudding Cheesecake went completely viral, with 234,000 share on Facebook! I really have the best readers and I couldn't be more thankful!
I can't tell you how many times I'm having a rough day only to find an amazing comment from one of you!
I also have to say Thank You to Colt who has stepped in as my camera man 2 1/2 years ago and has continued to encourage me to keep doing what I love in the midst of fighting chronic pain!
To my Granny, Grandmothers, Aunts, and friends Mothers who gave me a love of the kitchen, and allowed me to make a mess in your kitchen at a young age, I can't Thank You enough! I guess this turned into sounding a little like the Grammies but I had to let you all know just how full you have left my heart in 2015!
It's not that it was always easy but it's always worth it! I LOVE you all, wait is that weird? I don't care I love you guys!!!
I hope you all have a safe and Happy New Year filled with love, prosperity, and great memories!
