My Top 10 Favorite Recipes of 2011

The end of 2011 is getting awfully close.  This time of year always makes me get really nostalgic and reflective on everything that happened during the year.  As I get older it feels like time goes by faster and faster (dislike!), but it also feels like more and more exciting things happen every year (like!).  2011 was definitely not an exception.

During the final days of the year, I also get excited thinking about all the things I want to accomplish during the new year.  I say this every year, I'm not one for resolutions, but I do love myself a good to-do list.  Maybe it's the same thing, but I feel better calling it something else :)  Last week I made a list of 33 things I plan to do before my 33rd birthday (next December), so I'm gonna go ahead and also use this as my 2012 list.  What do you want to do in 2012?

I've talked about my love of lists more than a few times this year, so what better way to close out 2011 than with some lists!  Here's my Top 10 Favorite Recipes of 2011:











 There were so many delicious things to come out of the kitchen this year that it was sooo hard to narrow this list down!  It's not going to get posted until January, but last night I made an amazing Lamb Ragout....easily in my Top 5 favorites of the year.  Not photos yet, so it didn't make the official list, but I figured it at least deserved some honorable mention.  And, on that note, some other stellar honorable mentions of the year.... Fennel-Leek Soup, Maple Almond Granola, Milk Chocolate Pudding, Pineapple-Mango Chili Popsicles and Bacon Wrapped Dates with Goat Cheese.
