top recipes of 2012 ohsweetbasil.com

Can you believe that it is already 2013? I remember being a sophomore in high school and everyone was panicking about Y2K. Remember that? Gosh, and we all thought it was so weird to write, ’00 on our school papers. Anyway, the point is, time has really been flying by and I cannot believe that 2012 is already over. It was such a great year and I cannot even begin to tell you all how much I love your friendship, comments and support.

Here are your top 12 favorites from 2012!

whole crockpot chicken

12. Crockpot Roasted Chicken– This easy to make dish just sits away in the crockpot producing the juiciest chicken ever.
