Happy New Year!
Before we get too far out of 2017, I thought I’d take a moment to reflect and share some of the recipes that were made popular by you! I’ve compiled the top ten favorites for 2017 – and let me tell you – y’all have good taste!
There’s a fine mix of sweet and savory, autumn-inspired, and Italian (of course 😉 )!
Let the count down begin!
10. Authentic Margherita Pizza for International Day of Italian Cuisines
8. Apple Walnut Cake with Cinnamon Cream-Cheese Frosting
7. Blueberry Basil No-Churn Ice Cream
5. Chopped Chickpea Salad with Italian Vinaigrette
4. Simple Classic Fettuccine Alfredo
3. Creamy Mascarpone Polenta with Crispy Fried Eggs
And here it is….the moment you’ve all been waiting for…. the number one…. numero uno….. most visited post of 2017……………..
Yaaaaas!!!! I get it! I get it!! Not only is this a family favorite, it’s a cookie you’ll find on most cookie trays during the holiday season. But please don’t feel like you have to wait ’til December to enjoy! (Thanks, Dad! 😉 )
And now for the moment that I’ve been waiting for… Here’s to YOU! Thank you for stopping by to read and to comment, for trying my recipes and for sharing them!
