MY top eleven of ’11

Although so many of my favorite recipes from 2011 line up with your favorites, couldn’t resist posting some more recipes I adore that didn’t get quite as much traffic.  Surprisingly enough, some of these are a bit more healthy than the dessert recipe that get all of the attention online.  ;)

I’m already getting excited about new recipes to come in 2012, so stay tuned!

Happy New Year!!!

YOUR top eleven of ’11

Holy smokes, friends.  I can hardly believe that another year of blogging has already gone by!

Between my crazy new schedule changing jobs, and putting a house up on the market and then moving, and a host of other crazy life changes…I feel like I’ve honestly done less cooking than ever this year.  But then when I took a look back at the past year of recipes, and all of your amazing, and oh-so-encouraging comments, I realize that somehow quite a bit of deliciousness did make it to the blog.  And now I’m hungry to remake each of these!!!

In all seriousness, though, a million thanks once again for being such wonderful readers and supporters of my little site!  You all are such a gift to me, and I love getting to be connected through the love we all share for great food.

So here are your top eleven favorites of 2011!  My personal favorites will be in a post to follow.  I wish you a wonderful new year full and many delicious new recipes to come!  :)

weekend update!

Helloooooo out there!  :)

So sorry that I’ve been MIA from the blog (and from responding to comments) these last two weeks.  In a nutshell, my life this month has been…well…nuts!  And I’ve had little time to eat, sleep, and keep up with my full-time job — much less blog.  But thought I’d share with you two updates today that will hopefully have me returning to the blogosphere very soon…

1) After a super-speedy closing, packing up a house in less than a week, sending most of my belongings into storage, and moving in with some gracious friends across the state line (ok, that’s only a mile or so in Kansas City!) while I continue looking for the next place — I’m grateful to announce that I officially sold my house today!!!

2) Today was the grand opening of Trader Joe’s in Kansas City.

Hallelujah to both.  :)  Look forward to being back in the swing and sharing new recipes with you soon!

MY top ten of ’10

And…to follow up the list of YOUR ten favorite 2010 recipes from Gimme Some Oven, couldn’t resist adding in an extra ten of my own.  It was so hard to choose, and many of my favorites overlapped with yours.  But to highlight ten more delicious ideas for your next year of cooking, I narrowed it down to this yummy list.

Thanks so much again for being such rockin’ readers this year!  Looking forward to another year of some more deliciousness.  :)

Enjoy!!

YOUR top ten of ’10

Wow — it’s hard to believe that another year has gone by, and that Gimme Some Oven celebrated another half birthday in December!  Whoo!

(Ok, well when you’re 1-and-a-half years old, you still celebrate half-birthdays!)  ;)

Still, a million thanks to each of you for continuing to follow my little site!  I still feel like I’m a total newbie when it comes to blogging and photography.  But I’ve been so grateful for all of your wonderful support and encouragement over this past year.  :)  Hopefully you’ve found some fun recipes on here to enjoy and share with those you love!

As an end of the year (and half-birthday!) roundup, thought I would do two features this year — YOUR favorites recipes of ’10, as well as some of my own personal favorites.  Enjoy!!
