Best of 2008


Happy New Year!!!

I realize that this post is a bit late, but I was stuck at work for most of the day and I've been sick for over two weeks now (only way I was able to get my cheesecake post up was because I had completed it before I got sick).

As we move forward into 2009, I thought I'd do a quick review of 2008, similar to the Best of 2007 post I wrote last year. It was a lot a easier last time, though, because I had only been blogging for a few months. 2008 was a very busy blogging year - I joined The Daring Bakers, Tuesdays with Dorie, and posted about 120+ recipes. Thanks again to all of those who continue to show support and visit my blog, especially to those who take the time to leave feedback.

Below, I've highlighted some of my favorite recipes from 2008. Enjoy!

  15. Happy New Year to you Jaime! Thanks for the highlights too. Take a load off today and take good care. Get well soon. I see some things I want to try. We eat lots of salmon around here so I'm going to give your salmon selection a whirl (among other things - like chocolate) hehe
    I always enjoy your selections and photography. How do you find the time? Looking forward to a great 2009.
