It’s hard to believe but here we are! ONE YEAR! When I started this, I had no idea how rewarding blogging would be. I have made new friends, learned new culinary skills, and explored different ingredients. I am so glad to be here, at this milestone, looking forward with great excitement to the next year.
Thank you so much to all the viewers-
My family- So many of them have passed on my link to their friends. Thank you!
My Friends- For telling me about the fantastic foods you have eaten, tried in your own kitchen, or flavor combos that have inspired you. My friend David was the one who inspired the Salad with Salt-Roasted Beets, Pecans, and Blue Cheese, an amazing flavor combination and a dish I could never tire of.
The blogging community- Such a kind, supportive place where you can learn how to make new things (I want to try this Jewelry Cork Board), where you can meet fantastic new people (Greg and Katherine, Rosemary, Karen, Celia, Ashley, and Cecilia, to name a few), travel to new parts of the world (like the country of Georgia), and see beautiful things every day (like these gorgeous flower photos by Portraits of Wildflowers). Suffice it to say that the blogging world is phenomenal! You all have taught me so much and opened my eyes to a whole new world!
And those who just stumbled across Annashortcakes by accident. I wouldn’t be here without you!
To celebrate, I thought I would recognize some milestones of the blog.

Congrats on a year! You’ve posted some great stuff. Thanks for the kind mentions too. I’m off to check out the cheesecake.
Thanks to you as well! Let me know if you have any suggestions for the new year.
Super job Anna! It is always so special to find something that brings you joy and that brings other people joy…looks like you have certainly done that. I am proud of your commitment…keep it up. I love you very much!
Thanks Wynde!!! I am glad that you enjoy it! Let me know if you have any suggestions for the new year.
Congratulations on your anniversary. You have a lovely blog and I know that you will hit that 10,000 mark before you know it. Thank you so very much for the mention…I appreciate it.
You are quite welcome for the mention. Thanks for following my blog! Let me know if you have any suggestions for the new year of the blog.
I think you are going everything right. If I had a suggestion, I guess I would say your photos are so nice…why not make them larger so show off your food.
I wish I knew how to make them larger. But I don’t know how. I will have to do some research and figure it out. Thanks for the suggestions…
Congratulations Anna! Do you know how proud we are of you? So happy you have found a pastime that you enjoy this much. Your reflections are as “delicious” as your food! I always enjoy each new post and ogling the pictures. Thanks for always feeding us so well. We love you!!
Thanks Marva!!! I appreciate all your encouragement. Thanks for keeping up with the blog and commenting so much! Love you too!
Congratulations!
Thanks!
I’d die for some mushroom gravy right now!
MMMM I love anything mushroom!
Can’t wait to see what this year holds.
