By Kelley | Chicken and Turkey, Desserts

I can’t believe that by this time next week we will be well into the new year. Not to sound too much like my mom but where does the time go? I swear that ever since I had kids, the years seem to go quicker and quicker. This was a year filled with ups and downs for me but without a doubt the most exciting part of 2011 was this little blog thing I’m doing here. I never thought it would turn into what it has and never did I think I would have as much fun as I have. I can’t thank YOU enough for your comments, emails and support. It’s been a roller coaster and if weren’t for the readers it would be difficult to keep going. I’m grateful for the friendships and relationships I’ve made on and offline this year. I’m luck to be part of such a talented and beautiful community.

I thought it would be fun to look back through my first year and see what posts were the most popular. My hat goes off to you guys because you picked some real winners. I couldn’t have picked a more tasty top 10 myself. So without further ado, here are YOUR top 10 favorite recipes of 2011.

May the new year bring you and yours good health, happiness, love, laughter and lot of good meals!

10. Pumpkin Nutella Muffins

9. Sweet Potato and Black Bean Tacos

7. Meyer Lemon Bars with a Coconut Crust

6. Triple Berry Crisp

5. How To Make Reduced Balsamic Glaze

4. BBQ Cheddar Burgers with Caramelized Onions

3. Lavender Shortbread

2. Brown Sugar Bread Pudding

Is there anything different you’d like to see on the blog? Any particular recipes you’d like me to share? What was your favorite recipe you made this year?

    Awesome. This is why I prefer elastic waisted yoga pants to jeans. I can eat more bread pudding.
