I’ll bet you’re thinking the same thing I am – there cannot possibly be just two days left in 2013! This year seems to have simply flown by, hasn’t it? I’m thoroughly enjoying seeming posts from my wonderful blogging friends recapping highlights of the past year – it’s a wonderful chance to catch up on things we might have missed or revisit some of our favorites. I thought it would be fun for us to take a look at yours, mine and ours! – favorite 2013 food posts. I actually had so much fun seeing which food posts you liked the best, which were some of mine and which we both liked. Plus….the most pinned food post from 2013. Perhaps you’ll see something you missed during the year and put it on one of your 2014 menus!
The Vanilla Cream French Toast Cups with Apple Filling were a favorite – a yours, mine and ours!
The Tuna Macaroni Salad was also a mutual favorite and remains a family hit – it was on our Christmas Day buffet, too!
The Gingersnap Pumpkin Milkshake was one of your favorites!
Another yours, mine and ours hit – Lemon-Lime Curd in Sugared Wonton Cups! You know how much I love my lemon! ?
Italian Fried Chicken Snacks are one of my favorite things ever and we make them a lot around my house!
Two more lemon desserts – are we seeing a sweet trend, here? – are faves of yours and mine!
Glazed Lemon Muffins + Candied Lemon Slices
Lemon Chiffon Cake with Glace Lemon Icing
The “Candy Apple” Cookies were definitely a favorite of yours!
A yours, mine and ours favorite – and a favorite of Mr. Smarty Pants, Apple Cake!
One of my favorite cakes of the year was one that I almost ate all of the batter before it was even baked! Oh, the shame! ? This Browned Butter Almond Torte with Browned Butter Glaze is, my friends, a must try cake!
Guess what the most pinned food post for 2013 was? These quick and delicious Caesar Green Beans! By far not the best photo, but the recipe is quick, easy and these green beans are loved by adults and children alike! These were requested by my family (as they always are!) and were on our Christmas Eve dinner menu. Every single time I think I made enough, it it NEVER enough! If you haven’t tried these – put them on your list for 2014!
So there we have it – yours, mine and ours favorite food posts of 2013! I hope you enjoyed seeing some old favorites or perhaps discovering a treat you might have missed and would love to try! It was like visiting some old friends putting this post together, and to be honest, I was surprised by how many recipes I shared throughout the year.
Thank you so much for walking down food memory lane with me today. If you can, stop by tomorrow, because we’ll celebrate the last day of 2013 with a look at some of the favorite 2013 crafts. Have a fabulous last Monday of the year!
Thanks for putting together such a lovely round-up. Everything on your list looks terrific!
I can’t believe that 2013 is almost over either… how did time fly so quickly??
I hope you have a very happy new year with your loved ones : ) x
Thank you so much, Consuelo! It is unbelievable how quickly 2013 went by – time really needs to slow down! ? Thank you for your friendship throughout the year and looking forward to a great 2014! Enjoy ringing in the New Year and wishing you all good things!
Oh yes, I’m on the same page…where did 2013 go? You have so many great recipes. ? Happy 2014!
All are great, Cindy! I have forgotten about the Lemon Cake, I so love that one. I’ve got to make it soon! Always love your posts, Hope you have a blessed 2014!!
Wow, so much goodness to think about, let alone eating. Loved all lemon desserts, altho hubs doesn’t like lemon taste, darn it. I’ll just think about them and drool, maybe that will do the trick. I don’t need to eat any more desserts but just might have to try one of the delicious looking yummies. You sure know how to pick ’em Cindy. Now I need to go back to print out a recipe or two.
Hate to tell ‘ya gals but the older you get the quicker those years go by. We’re all so busy living it’s like we’re pushing those months along.
Wishing you and yours a great and Happy New Year
You had me at lemon Cindy!
One thing I know about the passing of time…if you think this last year went fast, wait till next year, and the year after that, and the year after that. Every year foes by faster than the last. It’s just the way it is. Wish I knew why so I could stop it! lol
Thank you for being such a wonderful blog buddy this year. I’ve enjoyed your blog immensely and getting to know you even more. Much love, happiness and good health for you and yours in 2014 and beyond.
This year has flown…and I think I say that every year. But, I swear the older we get, it just goes by even faster! What is up with that? Remember being little and you thought time was soooo slow? Wish it was that way again! I love all of these recipes…and every project you share! Great collection of all these amazing-ness! Have a happy holiday this week! xo
