As 2013 is rapidly wrapping up to an end, I wanted to share with YOU the Top TEN Recipes of 2013 here on Simply Gloria!
This collection is all from you, my readers.
It has been less than one year since I first took this little bloggy thing on an adventure. And, I am so grateful you have come to join me along the way!
It is all of you, that encourage me to share my creations. To be honest, I was just going with the flow to see where this little adventure would take me. And… it has truly taken me a lot further than I’ve ever expected!
Not only have I learned so much with the techy stuff, but I’ve also made a lot of friends.
Most of all which encourages me to keep doing this, is knowing that you love my recipes. It makes me beyond happy when I read your feedback through comments and emails. And, I read every single one! It makes my whole day.
I am very excited for 2014 to arrive! New beginnings. But, I also have more encouragement to go full force with Simply Gloria.
So, stay with me along the ride!

I remember those Chicken Lasagna Rollups. I think that was when I first noticed your blog! You shared them at Marvelous Mondays and I believe I featured them. So glad to have gotten to know you this year, Gloria! Hope you have a good evening and a Happy New Year!

Julie, you are so right! I was only blogging for just a few weeks…and was so nervous with the link parties. But, when it was featured…you should have seen me, I was beyond excited. (I still get that way when lil old me gets featured!) Have fun and an exciting NYE with your sweetheart!

You are always so kind, Cindy… I love that about you! This year has flown! Especially in our blogging world, right?! Have a great NYE and sending my hugs to you!
Tina @ Tina's Chic Corner says
I can see why these made your “top” list! I seriously need to make that eggnog pie before they stop selling eggnog!
It sounds like you and I started our blogs about the same time (me in late Feb 2013) and I can completely relate to what you said. I had no expectations and figured I’d do it for a month or 2. I had NO idea how far I’d come with mine or how proud I am of it. It’s kinda like my child (since I have none).
I hope to see many many more simplgoria posts. Your ideas, stories, and photography inspires me every single day! I’m so grateful to have met you. 🙂

Tina, you just made my whole day…and week! We did start ours the same time. I put a few posts up before I actually let the public know. Then decided to *officially launch* it on my bday on Mar 1. (Figured that’d be a perfect little goal and keep at it until my next bday!) I never thought I’d be where I am today, either! I love that we have met through this amazing blogging world we’re in! You are so great!!!!! xo

So much about these gadgets revolves around style and being an early-adopter.
At the moment, it is assumed that Google are working on creating the ‘full’ version of this to launch sometime in the
near future. The unique design of the Beetle caught the
attention of millions of people of different age groups
all across the Western countries and continued its successful
run through decades.
I simply could not go away your web site before suggesting that
I extremely enjoyed the usual info a person supply for your guests?
Is gonna be again continuously to inspect new posts
