It's almost 2014...can you believe it?? Where did 2013 go?? Like last year, I decided to do a roundup of my favorite recipes I made throughout the year, only sharing 13 faves for 2013, as well as the most popular post of the year. Cute, huh? Sometimes recipes get lost in the back of my mind, so it was nice to go back and sift through this year's posts. Enjoy!!
I am a sucker for a good cheesecake, and this one was probably the best I ever made. It didn't crack at all, and as always, a layer of sweetened sour cream is what takes this cake to the next level. Chris was a happy birthday boy that day!
I'm so glad I went through this past year's posts, because it reminded me of these delicious burgers, which I'll definitely be making soon. I'll be stocking the freezer again, and these are already on the list! They were that good.
Just thinking about this salad makes me yearn for warmer weather. I can't wait until May when strawberries are back in season so I can have this salad again! Definitely one of my favorites.
SO DELICIOUS. I'm going to have to buy a cast iron grill pan for the summer, so I can make this again (made a huge mess using my panini maker/griddler...but well worth it). I love how this recipe makes use of the the remaining coconut milk, so none goes to waste. I've used this idea for rice when making daal with coconut milk too!
I grew up eating cobbler for breakfast (my mom's peach cobbler is the best!), so it was no surprise I loved eating this fruit crisp for breakfast, straight from the fridge with unsweetened greek yogurt and honey. Filling, satisfying, amazing!
Oh man, was this good! Full of stinky cheese and herbs, this was a fancy treat. Since Chris has been gluten free for a while now, I haven't made much pasta lately, but I may have to make this again, even if it's just for me :)
Speaking of gluten-free, this cake is a great option for people who can't eat gluten, and well, everyone! Though the cake is tasty, the frosting was my favorite part. I have a favorite chocolate cake recipe, so I think I'll have to whip one up using this frosting. Maybe once the holiday sugar rush slows down, I'll make one to share with you all!
OMG...I love naan, and this recipe is a good one. It's no secret I love Indian food, and naan is a requirement with all Indian dishes. I froze my batch for the fall, using them for not only sopping up Indian food goodness, but also individual pizzas! No question, naan is already on my to-freeze list for winter.
Without a doubt, this is the recipe I've made more then any other from this year's list. I just love Indian food (thank you Cincinnati!), and it's so easy to have all the ingredients on hand and throw together on a week night.
This salad is definitely a favorite. Though it required a little more effort, it was well worth it in the end! I even won an award for it! (though it's not my recipe, it was a favorite in a food blog event I occasionally participate in). Fresh, vibrant, and delicious, it came from one of my new favorite cookbooks (I must get my own copy), River Cottage Veg.
Though my mom's stuffed mushrooms will always be the best, these were pretty dang good. Chris even broke his gluten free kick for a day and demolished about 3 of them, if that tells you anything!
This beautiful chili is now my go-to turkey chili recipe, it's just that good! As I mentioned in the post, I made a version of this last year based off of a vegetarian chili, using butternut squash instead of meat. I'll definitely be giving the veggie version a try in 2014! Don't skip the garnishes, they're the best part!
To end things on a sweet note, these snickerdoodles definitely needed to make the favorites list. They were SO NUMMY. I love a good snickerdoodle!!!
...and without further ado, the most popular post of 2013 is...........
Cold Brewed Iced Coffee with nearly 1,500 pageviews! I'm not drinking much iced coffee these days (too cold...brrr!), but once it warms up out there, many iced coffees will be had.
I hope your 2014 is full of health, happiness, and delicious food. See you in 2014!!
