    So many great recipes – hard to choose my favorites, Annie – I love the crostini and the fusilli cacio e pepe. And the no churn ice cream – you’re a master at those. Happy New Year!

    Happy New Year, Annie! I’m just getting caught up and see from your last post that your daughter moved back home. Yay! Your top recipes of 2016 are all mouthwatering, but that porterhouse pork just kills me. How did I miss that one? I made the zucchini carpaccio and loved it. Here’s to another year of delicious food! Salute!

    Happy New Year, Annie! Hope you had a fabulous Christmas! It was quite relaxing and lots of good eats around these parts. Loved it 🙂 All of this looks delicious, my friend; I especially love the fusilli. Then again, the watermelon gazpacho looks so good. How could I possibly pick one 😉 Looking forward to what you bring us in 2017. Cheers to a happy, healthy and delicious one! XO

    That strawberry cheesecake ice cream is so calling my name. Not sure how I missed that post. Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean I can’t have ice cream right? I love your blog and hearing from you. I can’t wait to see what you have for us in 2017!
