A Year in Review: Our Favorites of 2012 + Our 2013 Foodie Resolutions

We figured it was our turn to share our top favorite posts of this year.  It was so hard to choose the top 10 as we love everything we share!  After much deliberation, we decided on the below as our favorites.  But now, we will share with you our 2013 Foodie Resolutions!

2013 Foodie Resolutions:

·         Consistently planning a weekly menu

·         Post more main meal type dishes (budget friendly, too!)

·         Eat more vegetarian dishes (on a regular basis, 3-4X/wk)

·         Purchasing more locally grown food and products

·         Try to make more ethnic dishes

·         Bake more bread

·         Overcome my fear with working with pastry (Strange, I know. But so true)

And now, our favorites of 2012!:

Chicken Enchiladas-can’t seriously get enough of this Mexican dish.  We know it takes time but it is our go-to meal for entertaining!

Masoor Dal-This Indian-inspired meal is not only comforting dish, but a healthy one at that!

Cranberry Hazelnut Granola-What can I say, this granola is a favorite in our household!

Beans Bourguignon-This vegetarian dish impressed us with it’s flavor, and how fast it filled us up.

Wild & Wonderful Salad-We simply love the flavors of this salad.  It’s always a hit

Cranberry Orange Poppyseed Cookies-We loved these slice and bake cookies for their unique presentation and taste.

Thick & Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies-My all-time favorite cookie. I love how soft they are and studded with the chocolate chunks.

Caramel Corn-We just made these for Christmas.  We doubled the batch and couldn’t stop snacking and snacking…..

Big Bertha Burger-These made the top 10 reader’s picks…but I figured I would mention them again as they are way too good!

Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread-another favorite.  This ooey-gooey cinnamon bread that I can’t stop eating.

Thank you all again for your support in 2012. We feel very lucky to have you a part of our blogging journey. See you in 2013! J
