Happy end of April, dear reader!
It’s time for another monthly update and look at my top posts.
This month has been filled with all sorts of ups and downs.
I got to see my Dad and Brother in Charlotte, see pretty Biltmore flowers and do some really yummy cooking.
I even made a new video:

On the down side, it has been challenging to recover from losing our beloved Reina early this April. As more time passes, it gets easier, but we will always miss her. I wouldn’t trade the time we had with her for anything, but WOW is it hard when they die! Dogs should live forever… I’m just sayin!
I’m actually sharing the most exciting thing that happened this month in a surprise post Monday! Totally backwards, I know. I'm sorry. I can’t wait though!
So without further ado, here are the Top 5 Posts of the month!
April’s Top 5 Posts
1. Top Food Post
Pasta dishes are a hit! My Healthier Creamy Pesto Pasta was the top food post. It’s probably because this beautiful meal is made with only three ingredients.
Runner Up
My Pistachio Encrusted Salmon got lots of love from my fabulous bloggy friends, propelling it into a top spot.
2. Highest Viewed Post
Thanks for all of the love regarding Reina. I wish I never had to write this post, but it was the topped viewed of the month.

Those were some of my faves too. Hope you are coming to peace with your loss of Reina. Hopefully expressing your feelings through writing helped you to process it.

The months sure pass by quickly.
I know the passing of Reina was tough for you. It was nice seeing how much support you received here on your blog. I will be looking forward to seeing what you have special to share with us on Monday for your " surprise post ".
