2010 Favorites!

My year of blogging and trying new recipes has come to an end! This last year has been so much fun and has really helped me explore new ingredients and discover amazing new recipes that I can pass on to my family and friends. I have come back to many of these recipes a few times over this past year, but I can't post the same recipe twice! :) My resolution did exactly what I wanted it to, inspired me to try new foods, ingredients, and recipes. I have filled my recipe box with some keepers and hope to continue to add to it throughout the years.

This isn't goodbye or an end to my blog, I will still try to post when I can, but to be honest, my pregnancy cravings haven't been for anything good or exciting, so if I make something new or noteworthy, I promise to post the recipe! Until then, I figured it would only be appropriate to do a recap of my 2010 favorite new recipes!

Breakfast:

My weakness in life has always been banana bread, but this one is to DIE for!
