This year I'm doing another one, but a little bit different. This year is a roundup of MY favorite recipes from 2015! In no particular order...

Top 14 Recipes of 2014

I am so happy. 2014 has been such a great year. I've been wedding planning. We moved back to Ohio (which was one of the best decisions I've ever made). And I've made some of my favorite recipes EVER this year.

So before we ring in 2015 (which I have a good feeling will be even better than 2014) let's take a look back on what all of your favorite recipes on this blog are to date, your favorite recipes of 2014, and MY favorite recipes of 2014!

Top 13 Recipes of 2013

Whoa. 2013 is almost over and it was GOOD. This blog has grown a ton and I've improved as a blogger, writer, photographer, etc etc. I somehow made (and/or became even closer with) MORE amazing blog friends. And ya know...in real life...I finally got my ring ;)

So, as I have every NYE since this blog's inception, we're gonna do a round up of the best recipes from this year. And it's the hardest one yet because this has been THE BEST year yet--SO MUCH YUMMY FOOOOOOOD! gah! But let's see what we have (Note: if you wish to pin any of these recipes, you may want to first click the link to the individual post, which has the recipe):

Healthy Recipes to Start 2013 Right!

Happy New Year you guys!

2013 is here! Can you believe it? It's like WE'RE LIVING IN THE FUTURE!

That's what I'm thinking anyway.

Do you make resolutions? I don't really, but I do want to, like I'm sure many of you, lose some weight.

When I saw my cousin, Lindsey, request clean eating recipes for the blog, I thought it would be a fabulous idea to do a round up of the some of the healthy/healthier recipes on here! Some of these recipes are not so much healthy but they are from-scratch versions of the processed gunk that many of us use regularly. I firmly believe in eating food that tastes great, but is homemade and real. I hope you guys find some new favorite recipes here, and I'll keep trying to supply you with more!

Top Recipes of 2012

Ahhh! I'm back! I had a really great time in Ohio, but it went by way too fast! 

And I totally missed you guys.

And OMG it's already New Year's Eve! 

I cannot believe 2012 is almost over. This year has been so amazing. 

I got to spend pretty much all year with my favorite guy, I've been acting and working a bunch, and this blog has grown and taken off in such big ways! I have made so many wonderful new friends through here, and I cannot tell me how happy that makes me and how lucky I am to be a part of your (virtual) lives! I cannot wait to see what 2013 has in store for me.  

Now, here I have a little round up of yours and my favorite recipes of the year. Aaaand...not surprisingly....cookies were very popular. Like so popular that nothing else even stood a chance. 2012 was the year of the cookie! Now go scroll down to see what you guys liked best and then continue to see my favorites that didn't make your favorites cut! (Because you guys have great taste, your favorites happen to be some of mine too!) And yes...I know the top #'s are random...just go with it...

Top 11 of 2011!

Top 11 of 2011!

Hello! I'm back!

I missed this blog of mine, but I had an amazing Christmas and got to spend some much needed time with family and friends. (I also bought a super duper awesome new camera that I'm so excited to take pictures of food with! I'm such a weirdo.) But now, New Year's is creeping up on me! 2011 has been such a crazy year. I've had a bunch of acting work, I got a new day job, dealt with another case of roommate drama, STARTED THIS BLOG, Michael moved here, we got our amazing apartment, and it feels like my life has started this year! (Here's hoping next year sees a ring ;) )

Most of my favorite food bloggers have been doing lists of the top viewed and of their favorite recipes. I love the idea, so here's my round up! First your favorites, then mine. :)
