Time tends to get away from me, and the fact that 2016 is here just reminds me of how fleeting the clock can be.

Having arrived on the other side of another year is both sad and a thrill – I left behind an incredibly prosperous 365 days, but the potential for the next 365 is absolutely unlimited! I already have some great things lined up for myself and my family and friends in the coming months.

As far as this little blog, it’s brought me more joy than I thought possible.

When I started it up in 2014, I didn’t intend for it to be more than an outlet for my venture into photography, a random hobby decided to try, and my desire to hone my cooking skills and showcase my husband’s (like with this Red Wine Mushroom Braised Beef.)

Becoming part of the Sunday Supper Movement last year made The Crumby Cupcake mean that much more – it challenged me in many ways, introduced me to some wonderful people, and helped to expand my knowledge of both food and the world of blogging.

I’m beyond thrilled to be part of the community, and this year, for the first time ever, we’ve hit national holiday status!

That’s right! Every January will now be National Sunday Supper Month, with January 10th being Sunday Supper Day.

Today, we’re celebrating kicking off the big month with a huge collection of wonderful recipes, shared specifically in honor of the special occasion.

I’m happy to bring you one of my all-time favorite recipes from my hubby’s repertoire. We had a variation of this dish (made with short ribs) for the first time while choosing a wedding caterer in early 2012, and I became obsessed with the juicy cuts of beef.

Mr. Crumby tried out his own version for my birthday dinner that same year, it was a hit on our wedding menu, and it has become an often-requested (by me) dish in our home over the last three years.

In spite of the fact that braised beef is often served with mashed potatoes, I’m a fan of the roasted potato side – swirling them around in the delicious gravy is super delish, and adds lovely flavor.

More often than not, it’s either one of us handling dinner at a time, not usually both (our kitchen isn’t that big!) – but I had a hand in this one by prepping the potatoes. They’re pretty tasty, also, and are a wonderful compliment alongside his perfectly crafted beef.

I am one lucky woman, in more ways than one. Here’s to a new year, new experiences, new foods to try, and new memories to make!
