2010 Favorites!

My year of blogging and trying new recipes has come to an end! This last year has been so much fun and has really helped me explore new ingredients and discover amazing new recipes that I can pass on to my family and friends. I have come back to many of these recipes a few times over this past year, but I can't post the same recipe twice! :) My resolution did exactly what I wanted it to, inspired me to try new foods, ingredients, and recipes. I have filled my recipe box with some keepers and hope to continue to add to it throughout the years.

This isn't goodbye or an end to my blog, I will still try to post when I can, but to be honest, my pregnancy cravings haven't been for anything good or exciting, so if I make something new or noteworthy, I promise to post the recipe! Until then, I figured it would only be appropriate to do a recap of my 2010 favorite new recipes!

Breakfast:
My weakness in life has always been banana bread, but this one is to DIE for!

Appetizers:
Another crowd favorite, only it is healthy! It is so easy and so good, this might be on the menu this week as well. (this could be an entree too!)

Delicious Enchilada roll-ups:

Southwestern Egg Rolls=AMAZING!

Salads:
Pear and Blue Cheese Salad- the Perfect Salad to bring to a party, always a crowd favorite!

The Perfect Summer Salad:

Tomato Feta Salad:

Soup:
Yum, I think I might make this soup tomorrow since it is suppose to be SO COLD -10!

Entrees:
Sinful Sandwiches, so easy and SOOOOO good! Another crowd favorite and favorite around our house.

Looking at this Cooking Light Rigatoni just makes me crave it!

Got to love Rachel Ray and her yummy cheeseburger meatloaf:

Delicious Greek Burger:

Side Dishes:
A great vegetarian option or healthy side dish!

Yum! I love squash, especially with blue cheese:

I cannot wait for our garden to come back for this reason:

The perfect way to spoil yourself and your hubby on Valentine's day!

I cannot wait for spring, sunshine, and our patio furniture for this dessert!
