As you may know, I took a hiatus from this blog for a while for about a year. I started posting photos again in May of this year and and recipes in September - the 10th to be exact.
As i examined my 2017 in preparation for a bold new year, I thought it would be interesting to recap what I had cooked from September 10th to December 31st. I may have missed a few dishes, I have eliminated multiples (by this I mean items that I make a lot like green salads) and - let's be honest - there may be a few dishes that got planned but didn't get made because life or spontaneity got in the way. That being said, I am shocked and proud in equal measure.
For those of you who want to see what recipes I actually posted from this list, please click on the icon below and the list will pop up with links to the recipes available for Q4 2017.
Happy New Year, I look forward to spending time with you in the kitchen in 2018.
