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. :)

Ohio for Christmas!

My house back in Ohio (this is only partially decorated). Excuse the old cellphone picture.

Today I am getting on the 12:20 PM Megabus to Pittsburgh (where I will then be picked up by my mom and grandma and driven 2 hours back home.)

I am SO excited-I shall be spending time with my family and very best friends, and just enjoying the holiday.

And let's not forget that Christmas is this Sunday!

(but also- Happy Hanukkah to everyone!)

I'm going to wake up early, open presents, see lots of loved ones and eat!

Mini Apple Pies-Take 2: Holiday Recipe Exchange: Week 15 (Pie)

Now, the moment you've all been waiting for-the ridiculously easy, boyfriend-approved (which, trust me-for apple pie-that's big) mini apple pies!

I made these for Michael for Thanksgiving. I was making pumpkin pies, which he does not like, and I didn't want him to not have a dessert, too! The problem with making an entire apple pie is, if it's just for him, he has a hard time finishing it before it "goes bad". So, I had the brilliant idea that mini apple pies might be just the ticket!
