There is an inherent sense of rejuvenation and happiness this time of year.  This feeling gets its roots from recent time spent with friends and family over the holidays, indulging on decadent food and drink, and the impending start of a brand new year.  With a new year, there are memories of the last and excitement for memory making to come.  I love the recipes this time of year; still comforting winter recipes because of the season, but with the new year there is an emphasis on whole foods, clean eating and again, starting anew.  With that said, Happy 2015!  May it be another year of great memories—food and otherwise.
