Best Desserts of 2011

Woot woot, two posts in one day. Go me!

As you know I've been linking up to SnoWhite's Countdown to 2012 series. So far, you've seen my best soups, main dishes, and now I'm bringing you a collection of my favorite desserts from 2011. You're welcome.

#7 - Cereal Treat Easter Eggs

#6 - Peanut Butter {Sandwich} Cookies with Peanut Butter Buttercream

#5 - Owl-O-Ween Cookies

#4 -No-Bake Cookies and Cream Treats

#3 - Rocky Road Fudge

#2 - Saltine Toffee

#1 - Easy Peanut Butter Cups

Most of these delights came from the last half of the year.... guess I got more into my baking and dessert groove. And I hope to keep at it.

Thanks for checking out my "Best of 2011" series. It's been so fun re-capping all of the tasty recipes I've made on this blog this past year. I'm so excited for the upcoming year and all of the possibilities ahead.

Peace, and bacon grease!

Best Main Dishes of 2011

I'm back participating in SnoWhite's Countdown to 2012 (though it's already 2012 now). This time we're focusing on the best MAIN DISHES of 2011, and boy were there some good ones. Looking bad though, I didn't make as many main dishes this year as I'd want. Maybe because the second half of the year I started to bake a lot more desserts and treats. Not sure, but hopefully in 2012 there will be plenty of main dish recipes, as well as an array of desserts, sides, sauces etc.

Let's get started!

#6 - Chicken Taco Lasagna with Cilantro Lime Sauce

#5 - Tilapia Meuniere

#4 - Honey Chipotle Pork Tenderloin

#3 - Chicken Fried Rice

#2 - BBQ Beef Shepherd's Pie

#1 - Buffalo Chicken Macaroni and Cheese

We've got a nice mix of mains here... Mexican, Chinese, pork, beef, fish, and pasta. I need to make all of these again, asap! Maybe I'll have them show up on some menu plans here soon. Oh, and I know my Zuppa Toscana made my best SOUPS
of 2011... but seriously people, it is definitely one of my favorite main dishes of the year.

Looks like you and I have got some cooking to do.

Peace, and bacon grease!

Best Soups of 2011

It's 2012!! I'm gonna need time to slow down a little bit. Don't you wish we could control it? Just press rewind and go back to the beginning of 2011 (or when I was 16 for that matter!). Yet it doesn't go that way, so instead I'll just have to try to make 2012 even better than 2011. You with me?!

I know it's already a couple days into the new year, but I wanted to participate in SnoWhite's Countdown to 2012 series. What a great way to round out a year of delicious food. So technically we're no longer counting down to 2012, but it's all good. I know you still wanna see all of the SOUPS I've shared with you in 2011! (though #4 and #3 weren't exactly met with much praise from the man).

#4 - Tomato Basil Soup
