posted by Megan on December 24, 2012 ::

Is anyone else experiences whiplash at the sheer speed of 2012’s passing? I know I am. It’s gone by a ferocious pace and the impending 2013 shows no signs of passing any slower.

It has been a year of not just tasty treats, but big life milestones (getting married, NBD.) and I am so thrilled to have been able to share every joy, success, failure, baking flop and ridiculous Huck photo with you all along the way. So many of these recipes have become instant traditions in our house and I hope that they will for you as well.

This year has covered everything from breakfast, to mac and cheese, football food, to Biscoff and you name it in between. There are no heroes here, just yoga pants. Here are my favorite recipes of 2012, sure to please everyone!

You’ve had such an amazing year, Megan. I’m proud to know you and I’ve loved watching you bloom as a food blogger. I’m one of your biggest fans. And vice-president of your fan club (behind Beka). Love your round-up. It’s a perfect way to wrap up a perfectly wonderful 2012. Can’t wait to see what you do next year to top it!

  Malerie – It’s the Salsa Verde Mac and Cheese. I’m pretty sure. Let me go look back at the photos 🙂 If that’s what I’m thinking of it’s absolutely fantastic. I make it and eat it for days!!
