My favorite memory of 2017 was buying my very first house. I bought it in August and can’t wait to celebrate my first Christmas in it. Shout out to all the independent woman out there!!
My favorite memory was going up north with my family 😀 I already follow you on both of those!!
Favorite memory – all my friends weddings I attended!
Hm… One of my favorite memories would probably be fitting into a size small dress to wear out for our anniversary! I’ve lost almost 90 lbs the past year, after being seriously overweight/obese almost all of my adult life. Better than how I look is how much better I feel, and being able to keep up with my husband and 3 kids!
Congratulations! How inspiring!!
I follow on both! My favorite memory was my trip to Seattle with my husband to celebrate my 30th birthday!
Preordered the book, so excited!
My favorite memory is spending time at Gull Lake, Michigan with my family this summer. Such a beautiful lake and special time with family.
I preordered The Pretty Dish
Going to San Fran with some of my best friends!
So easy – my first son’s birth. Would relive that insane day over and over if I could!
My favorite memory of 2017 is bringing home our new sweet rescue pup, Pepper! Bonus was she already had a food-themed name :-)

My favorite memories were going to the Azores with my mom and best friend, going to Colombia, and the nights I got to spend with my brother and sister.
Happy Holidays!!
Oh man…favorite memory?! I would have to say driving down to visit my sister in the hospital the day my nephew was born. I was living too far to do the same when my niece was born, and it was incredible to see such a tiny, perfect human. Seeing my sister as a mom (again) and my niece meet her brother was priceless. XOXO!
My favorite memory- the birth of my baby boy!
My favorite memory of 2017 was playing Frenchy in a regional production of Grease in Wisconsin. A dream role for sure- who doesn’t love Frenchy? She’s everyone’s favorite beauty school drop out!
I pre-ordered your cookbook. Can’t wait to cook from it :D
My favorite memory is the birth of our daughter! We didn’t find out if it was a boy or girl and it was the best surprise
So many good memories this year – it’s hard to pick just one! I have to say that finding the perfect house for us with the love of my life is my favorite memory of the year.
My favorite memory was taking the trip of a lifetime to Cuba with my mom, husband and kids.

My my favorite memory of 2017 is finding out that I am pregnant with our first babe :)
2017 was a tough year for me. Got a divorce after a total of 41 years together, had to sell my beautiful home and seriously downsize, and rethink my whole future. There have been amazing memories, and all the best involve my beautiful daughter and fabulous granddaughter. I could not have done any of this without them. 2018 will be awesome!
Favorite memory of 2017 was finally starting grad school!
I spent a few weeks in Romania and Paris with my mom this summer. When we got back, I started working on making traditional baguettes. My best moment was the first time I got it right, pulling the baguettes out of the oven and tearing off a chunk felt like having a bit of Paris in my kitchen.
Favorite memory- trip to nyc in October!
My favorite memory of 2017 is when I baked my first successful apple pie this fall! It was so delicious and was the culmination of my “cooking journey” this year – I’ve been so excited about cooking and trying new recipes. It was a confidence boost to overcome something I considered a difficult challenge, and the day I baked it also happened to be a fun day spent with my boyfriend.
2017 was a year of HUGE change for my family and I. But my very favorite memory was July 21st, the day my husband retired after 20 years active duty in the US Air Force. I don’t think I’ve ever been more proud, and there was such a sense of relief…no more deployments!! We have so much to be thankful and excited for this year!!
Amazing giveaway! My favourite memories from this year were my niece and two nephews coming into this world! Love those babies so much💕💖🎉
Hi Jessica!
My favorite memory of 2017 has to be getting another dog! We already have a black lab mix named Libby, and since she’s getting alone in years, we wanted to get her a young buddy. We rescued Sam, another black lab mix, in September, and he’s been a lovely addition to our family.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Andrea

My favorite memories were over a wonderful Thanksgiving.
My favorite 2017 memory was visiting Cuba with my boyfriend! It was such an interesting and different culture, and we got to eat all sorts of interesting food!
By far the best moment was giving birth to my daughter while walking in to the hospital.
My fave memories from this past year really focus on watching my 2 sweets boys, 6 & 8, grow, develop, engage, interact, and act silly. All of the smiles, belly laughs, and delight make my days shiny & bright. Happy days and the best of years to come!
My son being born in January :)
