It's that time of year that many bloggers are posting their Favorites from 2012. Thank you for sticking with me through my spurts of consistent posting and long periods of silence. My hope for 2013 is that I figure out a consistent posting pattern and stick with it throughout the year.

As I looked back over this year, inconsistencies and all, I was overall pleased with the dishes I made. Without further adieu, here are my favorites from 2012:

Chicken Noodle Soup - After many years of trial and error, I'm quite pleased with this final recipe.

Grapefruit Honey Cereal Muffins - Stemming from a new discover, Wheetena, these quickly became a favorite of mine.


One Pot Rosemary Chicken and White Beans - Pantry staples prepared simply. What's not to love?


Buttermilk Banana Bread - This recipe which I first discovered on a few of my friend's blogs quickly became "the best banana bread ever" according to JR!


Fried Green Tomatoes - Why did I wait to so long to make this, nevermind try these? They knocked my socks off and quickly became a favorite!


Strawberry Rhubarb Dessert Bars - a surprising crowd favorite, and these are egg free which I'm always looking for to accommodate a certain family member.


Melissa's Bolognese Sauce - Once again I'm wondering why I waited so long to make this?

Baked Macaroni and Cheese - Another recipe that took me years to perfect. I'm quite pleased with this version and my family agrees.

In 2013 I'll also be exploring ways to improve my blog. If you have ideas for me, please leave me a comment or send me an email. Same goes for recipes you'd like me to make and post.

Wishing you health and happiness in the New Year!
