Hi Everyone!
Welcome to Wednesday Whatsits.
———-
Holy crap! We’re back to blogging. The holidays are over, and I’m engaged!!
Just in case you didn’t know. Haha. I feel like I haven’t shut up about it. I swear this is the last big blab about it.
There’s been a lot going on around here in the last couple weeks, and I’m excited to catch up with you all.
I review 2013 on the blog looking at (YOUR) Reader’s Favorite Posts and My Favorite Recipes from the past year.
I shared the yummiest Avocado, Bacon & Brie Breakfast Sandwich over at Mom’s Test Kitchen.
We had some great recipes shared from this year’s Christmas Cookie Recipe Swap from non-bloggers.
I made a little homage to my dad in these Chocolate Covered Cherry Brookies. You’d never know they’re gluten-free.
I know Christmas is over, but the boys and I had a great time doing some of the Kid-Friendly Activities.
There’s this ravioli dish at work I love love love. So I spun it and turned it into Fried Tortellini. It’s insane!
The Pesto Dipping Oil I made for foodie presents this year is so so good. And it’s SUPER easy to make.
Jen and I are kicking off the first Get Your Chef On cooking challenge of the new year.
Learn more about the challenge HERE. Sign up with make a killer shrimp dish with us HERE.
