best of 2010
Talk about a year of change for me. Going through the last 12 months of posts felt bizarre. I can’t believe how ancient some posts felt only to find out they were only 8 months old. My life in Colorado seems like it happened eons ago, as does everything I cooked there. My life is much different now than it was last December 31st (for the better) and I’m very interested to see what 2011 brings. I definitely didn’t follow up on my pie crust resolution of last year (whoops) and have yet to make any resolutions for the coming year. Everything that comes to mind is sort of opposite what you should do: cook more red meat (eat healthier), try more whiskey varieties (cut down on drinking), bake more cookies (lose weight). We’ll see what happens…
Here are my top 10 favorite posts (in no order), whether it be recipes I loved, the photos, triumphs over failure, or a combination of all of the above.
Happy 2011, everyone!
grandma esther’s chicken noodle soup
I love making my grandmother’s recipes and this was definitely my favorite so far. Plus it was like two posts in one with the added step of making your own chicken stock. Yum.
I’m a huge sucker for pasta with tomato sauce (#1 comfort food), so anytime I get to make my own from scratch plus bake up some kickass meatballs (made with bison meat no less) definitely makes the top 10.
Louisiana
brb!
Hey everyone! I’m all moved in but I won’t have internet for a while (using free wifi at Starbucks right now) so things are going to be a bit quiet around here for at least a week. Don’t fret – I’ll be back and so pumped to cook with local spring produce and my fabulous new gas stove.
Cya in a bit!
greek yogurt
Okay, so I obviously didn’t make that. But this is all I’m eating right now since I just had my wisdom teeth removed and I’m too tired to cook and can’t eat anything that requires chewing. I’m going to try and make a nice smooth soup of some kind or maybe pudding this weekend. Either way, I’m taking it easy for a couple days while I heal. Will update soon!
happy thanksgiving!
Quick look at what we’ve got going on right now…
Inspiration (the Bon Appetit cover – not The Shining).
Bacon… glorious bacon, for the stuffing.
The best yeast rolls in the entire world.
Full post later, but I just wanted to check in and wish all my fellow Yankees a happy turkey day filled with food, fun, friends, and family. Enjoy the day!
