my favorite recipes from 2009

I love the new year. It's a fresh start, a clean slate. It's a good place to be with so much open out in front of you. But it's also nice to look back at the past year and I'm definitely fond of taking a look back. I can flip through old journals to see where I've been, who I was with, what jobs I had, and where I lived. I love to see how far I've come and what journey I've taken to be who I am today.

One of the reasons I started this blog was to keep track of the food I was making and my experiences in the kitchen. And because this is a journal, it's fun to look back. I did it in 2007 and 2008, and I'm looking back once again on 2009. Here are some of my most favorite recipes from this past year. I hope you enjoy my look back as much as I did and here's to another great year ahead!

hello two oh oh nine: a recap of 2008's best recipes

Today is my husband's birthday and while I didn't go out and make him a cake (we've had enough baking and sweets for a while), I do have some very delicious banana bread to share as a birthday treat. The recipe will come soon in the next few days as this banana bread is just plain lovely.

I did a recap last January and I'll start off this year with the same thing. These are my some of my favorite recipes from last year and most have been made again and again. They're that good. Enjoy these old favorites and look forward to lots of exciting new ones. Onwards and upwards 2009!

recipe favorites from 2007

Today I'm back to work but it's also Cornelius' birthday which means that I've been doing a bit of cake-baking on the side. Last year I made my husband a banana cream pie but this year, I'm making a Guinness Cake based on a Nigella Lawson recipe. From the smell of things, I think this is going to be pretty damn tasty.

So for lack of a taste-tested recipe, I thought I'd go over some of my favorite dishes from last year. Enjoy.
