While food is a large part of our life, there’s more than just food in the Ginger Kitchen. There’s community, family, friends, and service, and we’ve captured it all through the lens of my iPhone and my favorite app Instagram.

Browsing through my Instagram photos, I realize this year has been filled with heartache and hardship, but also triumph and success. We have much for which to be thankful. Jon graduated from nursing school and I became a runner. Perhaps most exciting, we started down the road towards our very own gourmet ice cream business.

Things are looking up. Here’s to a wonderful 2013!
