Best of 2009

Every blog does it. And I like to follow the crowd (well, as long as the crowd isn't jumping off a bridge, anyways). But I digress.

Here is the obligatory year in review post: some of our favorite things from 2009. Some of these recipes we have still only had once despite their deliciousness, others have become favorites in our meal rotation. And I added some sweets in at the end, because I just can't ignore how much I am really liking to bake, and how big of a sweet tooth I have.

I'm excited to keep this blog going in 2010. There are still a lot of recipes out there that I want to try, and Josh and I are getting a little more creative in the kitchen throwing things together ourselves. And I'm still working on my food photography... its bound to get better than last year! Thanks for reading along, and Happy New Year!
