New Year's Recipe Reflections

As the New Year approaches, I have been reflecting on 2008. The one thing that has really had an impact on my life is the creation of this blog in July. I have met so many wonderful people, made many friends, discovered many fabulous blogs, and have significantly increased the number of bookmarked recipes to try. I thought I would highlight some of my favorite recipes from my blog the past few months. Thank you to all my loyal readers and welcome to all the new readers. You are truly appreciated!

Baby Sweet Potatoes

Just a short, but "sweet" post. I found these baby sweet potatoes yesterday, and I couldn't wait to share them with all my sweet potato loving bloggers, especially Ms. GlidingCalm.

Christmas Hourderves!

I was in charge of hosting a little middle of the day hourderves feast on Christmas Day! The Brie topped with fig preserves and chopped nuts was a hit.

The mini quiches disappeared quickly!

The shrimp with cocktail sauce definitely has to make an appearance every Christmas.

I hope you all had a blessed Christmas! Mine was full of joy and the warmth of family and friends. Of course, there was a lot of dog fun too. My boys loved their new toys and treats!

Christmas Trees On Top of Muffins!

Here is my attempt to decorate the top of some of my muffins with a cute Christmas decoration! Let's take a poll: Did I pull it off or should I try again? Don't be shy. Let me know what you think! I also have a question for all of you: What is the earliest you woke up as a kid to open up your Christmas presents? If you have kids, what is the earliest time that they have woken you up to open their gifts?
