The Year in Review: 2012

The Year in Review:  2012
Some years seem to go by more quickly than others and 2012 was definitely a fast one. Speed aside, it was mostly a good year. Sure, there were some of the normal difficulties of life but we were fortunate to avoid any personal tragedies. We spent the long, cold winter waiting for the first blooms of spring and then took full advantage of the warm weather. We grilled many steaks and sipped many frozen cocktails on summer weekends. We took an amazing vacation to coastal Maine. We went leaf peeping and pumpkin picking in autumn and we cooked up lots of deliciousness for the holidays. And, throughout it all, we had each other and our beloved pup. Our house is peaceful and full of love and that alone made it a good year.

The Year in Review:  2012
Since we prefer to spend New Year's Eve at home, we are cooking up a storm and mixing up the cocktails. And tomorrow, we'll wake up in each others arms and begin a brand new year. For now, we'd like to wish all of you a very happy and healthy new year, filled with joy, love and lots of deliciousness. And we'll leave you with a look back to our top 10 most popular recipes in 2012. Enjoy!

And now, I find it is your number one recipe this year. I can tell you why - it rocks!! Making some this afternoon. Love it. Happy New Year Anita and Mr. Hungry!
