This morning I already have found a list of recipes I want to try that will take me well into Spring. Here is my list of favorite and most popular recipes of 2012, starting with the most visited One Bowl Banana Layer Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting.
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!
I hope 2013 will be a healthy, happy and prosperous year for us all.

Hahaha…you made my day, Monique. Nobody has ever called me technologically “with it” before. I think my kids would argue with you about that. Have a very safe and Happy New Year.

Everything sounds yummy Cathy, looks like I’ll be making a banana cake soon! Happy New Year, wishing you all the best in 2013-enjoy:@)
Oh yum, everything looks so good. Have a wonderful, healthy Happy New Year.
Cathy, I think I have drooled over each one of these delicious creations as they arrived in my inbox & have even made a few! You know, I try more of YOUR recipes than any others on the net.
I know this must have been a difficult holiday with the loss of your Mom not so long ago. You’ve been in my thoughts a great deal. I hope that 2013 brings you good health & much happiness & many, many vacation trips, too! (being selfish here, as I love to see & hear about your travels)
A Blessed & Healthy New Year,
fondly,
Rett

Hi Rett – It’s wonderful to hear from you. What a fantastic way to start the New Year. I think of you often, my friend, and hope you and your family are healthy and happy. It has been a very tough holiday season and I have to admit I’m happy to see 2012 over. I have lots of travel plans for 2013 and look forward to sharing them. Happy New Year to you as well.

AAAARRRRGGGHHH!!! And just after I’d resolved to eat less … Happy New Year!!
PS Everyone LOVED the mini-Golden Fruitcakes I gave them for Xmas from your recipe (although some of the ingredients were substituted for the local version they still turned out brilliantly) – so they’re already on the list for next Xma!

Hi OZ – Thanks so much for coming by to visit. And I’m very happy that you and your friends enjoyed the fruitcake recipe. Even people who usually hate fruitcake seem to like that one. I hope 2013 will be a healthy, happy new year for you that is full of travel. One of these days I hope to make it to Australia.

Sorry to be MIA. Was sick, then family. Don’t computer from home.

Talk about making my mouth water, Cathy! All of these look wonderful but that banana cake is making my sweet-moratorium-resolution weaken immensely
