Happy New Year all! 2010 was a wonderful year, just like every year of life so far. Some highlights were going to New York with my DB, getting published in Australia, and having my first surgery (appendicitis)! I thought I’d do a recap of 2010 with my favorite post from each month. Here goes!
January: Everything Cookies. These hold a special place in my heart. This is the cookie that made me love hearty cookies.
February: Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake. I could eat the whole plate of these. Soft, fluffy, and cinnamon sugar. What can go wrong?
March: Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread. My favorite simple banana bread. I’ve tried TONS of recipes before and this one still stands strong.
April: Chocolate Chip Oreo Cookies. I think this is one that you guys loved the most. A cookie inside of a cookie. Brilliant.
May: Alton Brown’s The Chewy. A versatile cookie base that goes well with any add-ins. The options are endless!
June: Brooklyn Blackout Cupcakes. Only a few ingredients with a knockout taste. Plus, every blog has to have cupcakes!
July: Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies. This one’s another crowd favorite. The best way of using up Nutella so far.
August: NY Style Crumb Cake. Something simple for the ones that like classics. The crumb topping alone is enough to make a man turn his head.
September: Chocolate Pudding Cake. Every girl needs chocolate in her life. This will be sure to satisfy those cravings. You know what I’m talking about, ladies!
October: Snickerdoodle Bundt Cake. I love all things cinnamon and sugar.
November: Sour Cream Apple Bars. I guess we should probably add some fruit to this list and make it semi healthy.
December: Carrot Cake Whoopie Pies. A more complex recipe for our over achievers. We have fruit on our list, let’s add some vegetables!
I hope everyone started off their year with a kick! Southern California decided to start off with snow for the first time since I was two. Believe me, we’re all still shocked. I spent the first day of 2011 with a mock bridal photoshoot! Here’s a little snippet:
Shot by my dear friend, Drew. More pictures to come later on my style blog!
Kim, what a great roundup. Makes me so hungry! 🙂 Lovely photo of you in that beautiful dress! You really rock it. Happy New Year! – mary
The year in photos! How lovely!
I am so going to try The Chewy from Alton Brown!
lovely photos.
I think I’ll have a go at the oreo cookies. My little boy adores oreos.
I’ve made the carrot cake whoopie pies. I’d like to blog your recipe and link to your page if thats ok. Mine were tasty – but not so pretty as yours. I think I refrigerated the dough too long (overnight) and they were more cakey than cookie. Would still make them again though !
Happy New Year
All your photos are great! You did well for 2010…what a great way to reflect your achievement!
Happy 2011 and hope that you will have lots of achievements too for this year!
