My Favorite's of 2011

     A couple of days ago I posted the Top 10 of '12. This list was made up of the most viewed recipes by you. There are lots of other recipes that I made this year that didn't make that list, but I thought they were amazing. So, now I'm going to share my favorite breakfasts, appetizers, dinners, breads, and desserts of the year.

Breakfast:
Braided Sausage Bread
    This savory breakfast is perfect for breakfast or dinner. You can make the meat filling the night before and stuff and cook to save some time in the morning.
Strawbery Crepes
These almost seemed like they should be served at a bed and breakfast!
Blueberry Cheesecake Pancakes
These were my mom's idea, and they were amazing!

Appetizers/Snacks:
Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers
     I love these and they aren't as hard as you might think!

Dinners:
Burgers
This recipe comes close to our favorite burger joint in town!

Bruschetta Pasta
I craved this for days after we had it! I think I ended up making it three times in two weeks.
Chicken Alfredo Pizza with Spinach, Bacon, and Sun-dried Tomato
This is so flavorful and a nice change from traditional pizza toppings
Creole Black Beans and Rice
This is one of my favorite meatfree dishes. Served with a side of garlic bread, it's very filling!
Mac N Cheese
Mac N Cheese is a staple at our house, and this is our favorite recipe.

Breads:
Blueberry Pull Apart Bread
     This tasted like warm gooey blueberry cinnamon rolls.
Strawberry White Chocolate Chip Muffins
These are my very favorite muffins(or bread). Ever.
Nutella Babka
Nutella with anything can't be bad...
Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins
I guess I should have made a separate section for muffins and bread! These take the classic combination to a whole new level and they are healthier than you would think.

Desserts:
Paper Bag Apple Pie
     This is my mom's award winning recipe....my favorite apple pie!
Chocolate Cheesecake Cupcakes
You would never believe there is a secret ingredient in these!
Blueberry Cream Cheese Strudel
This is a dessert (or breakfast?) that is not super sweet and loaded with fresh blueberries.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Trifle
I thought this was going to be on the top 10 of '11 post, but it just got kicked off last week!

Happy New Year!
