2011; "the best of" and what's to come.








Alright, ladies and gents... I know that I have already asked for forgiveness once before, so hopefully you all are as gracious this time as last.


It has been far too long, am I right? Things have been wild and crazy here on the home-front, with the addition of a new baby, intensive classes, and just everyday nonsense gobbling up my time, it seems that the months just fly by without any consideration. However, I have come to find some time to devote to you, my lovely readers, eaters, foodies and more, by finally coming out of my little bear cave, ending this hibernation with a yearning to eat! And I hope that you all are just as famished as I am!





Since we last spoke, I've been working on a lot different recipes, trying to perfect things like pizza dough, biscuits, bagels, and spaghetti sauce. Because I'm such a terrible blog-mother, I have not taken many pictures of the recipe process. But I am usually able to get an image or two in of the end result (if there's even any left)! So this post is going to just be a sort of "Best Of 2011", with photos of some of the best recipes cooked, baked, and scarfed down this past year. I will come back to all of these, in due time, with detailed recipes and photos. 


So without further ado, here are some of the best dishes from 2011. Enjoy!
