HAPPY HOLIDAYS!After another incredible year of missions, it’s time to digest all the great food you’ve shared. Gastropost is taking a short break over the holidays. But fear not, our next new mission will be launched here on Jan. 6, 2016! We’re going to be asking you What’s Cooking for 2016, so get your culinary thinking caps on and decide on what foods you’re looking forward to trying in the new year.

In the meantime, you can continue to keep in touch and show your fellow Gastroposters what you’re eating over the holidays at gastropost.com. We’ll also be printing a special edition of Gastropost in next week’s Calgary Herald featuring a look at Your Year of Missions.

Stay hungry, Gastroposters. It’s going to be another mouth-watering year of missions!

“Frosty is not only cute but delicious, too!” Gastroposter Kara Layher shares in this post of Christmas past!
