Best of 2011: My Favorites

I can't believe we're at the end of the year already. I just can't believe it. This has been a tough year for my family in lots of different ways, so I'm ready for a fresh start in 2012.

2011 was definitely a delicious year food-wise, though, and it was really hard for me to narrow down the list of my favorite recipes of the year. So you're getting 20 of them, in no particular order (because it would be nearly impossible for me to rank them).

I want to thank each and every one of you for stopping by my blog this year. I love getting your comments and e-mails throughout the year! Maintaining this blog is so much fun for me, and I'm so glad so many of you seem to enjoy it as much as I do. Have a very safe, very Happy New Year!
