Best of 2013: Recipes

January 1, 2014 by Amanda R DeWitt

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you are all recovering from your fun celebrations to bring in the year 2014!

happy new year 2013Dave and I had the opportunity of attending a couple of different gatherings here in Nebraska. I can’t believe we head back to the twin cities tomorrow already! It will definitely be weird getting back to the normal routine!

I learned a few things when doing this recap (and the one from yesterday):

a. It takes forever to do recaps. Even though you aren’t creating new content, adding a zillion links and pictures takes a good chunk out of the day.

b. I make a lot of desserts.

c. I need to post more of my recipes!

Check out my favorite recipes from the blog this past year!
