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!
12. Crockpot Roasted Chicken– This easy to make dish just sits away in the crockpot producing the juiciest chicken ever.
11. Pumpkin Spice Granola Bars– Easy, healthier than the store brands, and oh so very yummy. Your kids will be begging for more!
10. Avocado Dressing-The Wrap that saved the world– This is still one of our all time favorite lunches ever. EVER. You’ll just be in heaven with that dressing. Promise.
9. Reeses’s Crumble– Pretty sure I need this right now. Chocolatey-gooey-peanut butter delicious all in a butter bar. Sold.
8. Pizza Dip- The recipe I got from a super cute friend and that I cannot, at all, keep my hands off of.
7. Honey Roasted Chicken– Need I say more? The perfect, homestyle dinner.
6.Italian Nachos– Just try to stop eating these plate of gooey nachos. The alfredo sauce alone is ridiculously addicting!
5. Roasted Tomato Basil Soup– Oh goodness, not only is this soup really delicious but it has bite sized mozzarella sandwiches for croutons. Boo-yah!
4. Peanut Butter Banana Bread– I have bananas ripening on the counter as week speak just so I can make this again. It’s wonderful!
3. Southern Cheese Crackers– These are cute, easy to make and ever so addicting. Perfect for the superbowl…hint hint.
2. Bacon Wrapped Avocados-Yup, I went there. Juicy bacon wrapped around a creamy avocado and rolled in brown sugar deliciousness.
1. Reese’s Krispies– For the second year in a row, these easy to make treats are so yummy, the kids can help make them and it helps you get rid of all of that Halloween candy. Woohoo!!
Here’s to another great year together. Did I miss one of your favorites? I’d love to hear what it is!
Some of my favorites from the year were,
Steakhouse Smashed Potatoes
Pesto Pasta in 15 min with crumbled speck
Is it possible that I want to run to the kitchen and make every single one of those right now?? What a great year!! (And I’m so glad that I was able to meet you this year – I sure do value your friendship!!)
Me too! I miss you though! Move to Lehi!!!
Ohhhh.I see sooo many of these that I want to run out and make right now!!!
I think I’ve pinned pretty much every single one of these recipes. Now I need to make–and eat–them all. Also, I was married with a 2-year-old when the Y2K craziness was going down. Now I feel really old…
Psh, You were just living the good life while I was suffering through high school. SUFFERING
Love these, lady! And I can’t wait to meet you this year!!
It’s going to be the highlight of 2013, meeting you!!
Love that #1 has secured the top spot 2 yrs in a row and your banana bread has the most perfectly domed top! I want some!
coming from you I could just squeal at that comment!! YAY!!
Lots of great recipes on this page. I really like the look of the granola bars. I have yet to make any myself but it would be great to know what exactly goes in them instead of a wrapper with a long list of things I cannot prononce! Happy New Year!
AMEN! And you’ll just love these granola bars.
A delicious year! That tomato soup is calling my name today.
Reese’s crumble?! Pizza dip?! I want a little bit of everything, Carrian! Everything looks INCREDIBLE and I should not be here before breakfast time 🙂 happy new year, friend!
Happy New Year, Carrian! What a fantastic line-up of recipes. That tomato soup looks like something I could happily eat every day for lunch.
Now I’m starving! These all look sooo delicious! I absolutely remember how weird it felt to write the year 2000 on something. Like we’d finally arrived with the Jetsons. 🙂
