Top 10 Recipes of 2012

This year has flown by and I have been cooking up a storm. What I love about writing this blog is we never have the same thing twice. We are always trying new and different. Dinner is never boring around here. Over the past almost year, these were the top viewed recipes. I was expecting to see some sort of pattern like all sweets or all drinks, but it is really all over the board from soups to desserts and everything in between.

Top 10 for 2012

Bourbon Chicken	Loaded Baked Potato Soup
Sweet and Spicy Pecans	Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars
Blue Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms	Southwestern Spring Rolls
Fig and Goat Cheese Pizza	Crockpot Turkey Meatballs
Frozen Sangria	Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Which of these have you tried? Did your favorite make the top 10?

Fall Pinterest Round Up & A Few Cute Puppy Photos

Posted on October 26, 2012

This week I have been enjoying time up in North Georgia. We are up here to visit with my husbands family and pick up our newest addition. We have been to apple orchards, pumpkin patches, and on hikes. We are enjoying the peace and quite before heading home to Florida this weekend.

Yesterday we headed up to Tennessee to pick up the newest puppy. He is a Brittany, just like Murphy was. In a few short weeks he will be bouncing off the walls and full of energy, so for now we are enjoying his sweetness.

This week I have stuck to a fall theme with postings. How good does that Roasted Sweet Potato and Quinoa Soup by Noshing with the Nolands sound? So today I am sharing some fall themed pins. These are a few of my favorite from my All Things Fall board on Pinterest.

With Halloween right around the corner I love this pumpkin head vegetable platter. I am on the look out for ramekins small enough to be the eyes and nose. In between candy bars I will feel a little healthier munching on some carrots.

As soon as I saw this Tequila Jalapeno Cranberry Sauce I knew what dish I will be bringing to Thanksgiving. My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the homemade cranberry sauce and this sound like a great twist on a classic.

The next few dishes I will be making soon to use up my surplus of apples I have purchased up here in Georgia. I don’t know that I have ever had apple butter, but this homemade crockpot recipe just sounds too good and too easy not to try. I might cut the batch in half just in case I don’t turn out to the an apple butter fan.

And these apple meatballs Jennie made for #SundaySupper a few weeks ago have been on my must make list. Ground turkey and apple? These meatballs are practically heathy. I’ll take 15 please!

Recipe Round Up 7/25/12

Posted on July 25, 2012

This week is leftover week. Dig through that freezer and use up those leftovers, but if you don’t have any leftovers don’t fret. I have compiled a recipe round up of a few recipes with ingredients on sale this week. Look over the ingredients and make your shopping list. Double check your pantry for items you may already have and cross those items off the list.
