Tasty Tuesday Linkup Year End Round Up: Year of Yumminess!

Hey guys! Happy Tasty Tuesday to you 🙂

Once again – we’re all here today to share our tasty creations from our kitchen or experiences from somebody else’s.

Today I wanted to make it all about YOU! We’re all a little maxed out on holiday recipe ideas, Christmas cookie recipe selections and other highly pinable content, aren’t we?

So, let’s celebrate YOU at today’s Tasty Tuesday Linkup.

Here are some facts and highlights of the Tasty Tuesday linkup parties that you come to every week and that YOU made possible:

The very first Tasty Tuesday was held on this blog on  September 10, 2013 and had ZERO links in it because it wasn’t even a linkup yet. 🙂

The first Tasty Tuesday Linkup Party was held on February 18, 2014 and had ZERO links in it because nobody knew about it 🙂

The very first link was added to the Tasty Tuesday Linkup Party by Michele of A Pace of Balance and it was for this beautiful Jicama Salad with Mango and Black Beans:

Today’s party is #46 and the weekly e-mail announcing the upcoming Tasty Tuesday Party goes out to 83 subscribers every Monday in addition to over a hundred of Lean Lena’s post subscribers!

83 – is the number of people who added their link to the Tasty Tuesday linkup at least once, were added to the e-mail list and decided to stay; or chose to sign up for those reminders themselves.

But those are just numbers. What’s important is the COMMUNITY behind those numbers that we all created together and that’s been such a huge part of this blog.

All that is because of YOU.

Because you shared your recipe creations, travel food diaries, restaurant reviews and other tasty posts with this blog and its readers.

I want to say THANK YOU for that to my Tasty Tuesday tribe and everybody following along.

THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for:

• linking up, linking back, supporting each other and commenting on this blog every week;
• being my ever lasting source of meal ideas; 🙂
• taking the moment to spread the love and share the Tasty Tuesday linkup party and the posts of those who take part in it; and
• so-so-so many other things you have no idea you do for me – like make me smile every time a see a link added to the link up.

I truly THANK YOU for all that and much more!

You probably remember that last week I announced a GNC PUREDGE giveaway and promised to pick the winners this week.

Drumroll, please 🙂

Merry Christmas!
