Most popular 11 recipes of 2011 ~ Reader Favorites

Happy New Year!! I’m excited to start fresh with a new year…aren’t you? Like most people, my eating is a bit seasonal. As you could tell with all the holiday baking I did, I tend to focus on all our favorite holiday food. Food is a big part of life, traditions and making memories. But now that January is here….again like most of you, it’s time to clean up my act. Time to tear the sugar beast off my shoulders and throw him to the curb, along with a few added holiday pounds. Right? Who’s with me? You’ll be happy to see some curve friendly recipes coming soon.

I thought it’d be fun to join in with other food bloggers and share your favorite recipes of the year. It sure was fun for me to check the stats of the site and see your most visited recipes. So sit back and check out what made the list….the most popular 11 recipes of 2011. It’s my first time doing a flashback post like this, and I had a blast!

Carmelized onion & apple tart

While surfing through food blogs I found this gem! Oh wow….you’re going to be glad I did. This is a new favorite appetizer….very easy, though it takes awhile to carmelized the onions, and one that will start making a regular appearance around holidays now. My poor family didn’t even get to taste it, but they’ll get another chance since I’m making it for New Year’s Eve tonight. I took it to a friend’s house the other night for a gathering…mom’s only, and it got rave reviews. My family doesn’t think they like onions, but you’re not gonna taste them. This sweet/savory combo reminds me nothing of onions….so if you don’t like them, you still have to try it. 😉 Continue reading

{Christmas Favorites} Chex party mix

{Christmas Cookie Favorites} Mint chocolate cookies

Are you almost ready for Christmas? All I have left to do is run a couple errands (without the kids), all of my wrapping, grab a couple items at Whole Foods and Publix, make a couple more treats, and take the girls to see Santa at the mall today before the kids get out of school (another benefit of home schooling!). It sounds like a lot now that I’ve typed it all out, but I’m not stressing. It’s really not that much. I’ve been feeling festive lately, and blessed! How are you holding up?
