My Favorite Recipes of 2008
09Let me start out by wishing all of you a bright and happy new year! I hope 2009 brings many great things your way.
It’s hard to believe I’ve been blogging for over two years now, and have posted nearly 300 recipes. I am so thankful (not to mention flattered) that so many of you read my measley little blog. As someone who follows over a hundred food blogs herself, I know that all the food can be overwhelming. I love when bloggers post their favorite recipes of the year. I wish I had time to try out all the great recipes I see posted, but I’d have to spend literally every minute in the kitchen to do that…and still come up short. It’s nice to have a pared down list of things to try, right? I’ve joined the bandwagon in posting my 30 favorite recipes of 2008. I hope you get a chance to try some of them.
