HAPPY NEW YEAR! I can’t believe it’s already 2015 ~ 2014 was quite a year, so 2015 has a lot to live up to.
We already discussed YOUR favorite recipes of 2014 – now I want to share MY favorite recipes from 2014… in no particular order. Not because I didn’t try to rank them, I did. I just could not for the life of me figure out which order to put them in because I loved them all SO MUCH.
If you didn’t get around to making any of these in 2014, I definitely recommend putting them on your to-do list for this year!
The savories…
This red lentil daal – it’s so warm and hearty and perfect for cold winter nights.
My pain au Thanksgiving – which could really be stuffed with anything – but were SO GOOD that we basically ended up consuming an entire batch of croissants in less than week…
These grain-free stuffed peppers from when I was on my whole 30 kick – I’ve been making them consistently ever since!
This over the top lasagna grilled cheese – because if you haven’t eaten your pasta inside of bread, then you haven’t truly lived.
If just looking at that grilled cheese is making your arteries clog, try this Creamless Creamy Cauliflower Soup – it is to DIE for.
The sweets….
Pumpkin Cookies & Cream Ice Cream – which was an extremely difficult choice. Runners up included the salted caramel pumpkin roll and pumpkin pie bread pudding, but I didn’t want to pumpkin-out the list…
The almond-stuffed galette de rois which, trust me, tastes WAAAAY better than it looks.
These deligtfully adorable mini tagalong cheesecakes – runner up: DIY Peanut Butter Eggs
The Baked Bakery’s Sweet & Salty Cake that I made for my birthday
The even-better-than-girlscout-cookies samoa cookie bars
Um, wow, I missed a lot of these while being consumed by baby, so that you for the refresher. Pretty sure I need all of them in my life.
Definitely, Amy! Hopefully your baby will calm down enough for you to get in the kitchen 🙂
Happy New Year! I can’t stop staring at that glorious daal! It’s one of those things I could really dig into and make a big pot just for myself. And pain au Thanksgiving is genius. Love the idea. Here’s to a fun 2015!
Monica, it’s SO GOOD – we make a big pot and then usually end up with enough for several meals. I usually freeze three to four quart-size bags of it so that we can have an easy dinner another night. It reheats perfectly!
I’m way behind in my blog reading, as you can see, and also: terrarium! Look at wooden you and the wooden mister all cozied up in there! Sa-weet!
Happy New Year, wee friend!
I’m pretty sure we are ALL way behind on blog reading, Movita! My poor feedly has been “marked as read” a few times in the past month just because the ‘unread articles’ number got way too intimidating! haha~
