Bye bye 2011 – the year filled with various fruit-filled desserts, homemade pizzas and plenty of roasted chicken recipes. Throughout this past year, I definitely learned many new tricks including how to make pie pastry dough from scratch (and cut and assemble lattices for pies), how to properly clean and prepare a whole chicken for roasting and how to properly make quinoa, just to name a few!
In order to celebrate 2011, I just wanted to list a few of my favorites:
Roast Chicken With Chickpeas,
Tomatoes, Olives and Thyme
Sour Cherry Pie With Lattice Crust
Spaghetti & Sicilian Meatballs
Lemon Ricotta Pancakes With
Lemon Curd and Raspberries
Chicken Piccata
Baked Macaroni & Cheese
With Garlic Bread Crumbs
Pumpkin Cake With
Cream Cheese Frosting
I am already excited for 2012: hoping to experiment more with pomegranates, mustard (yes, Epicurious predicted it to be a Top Food Trend for 2012), avocados and I would like to make homemade Pho. Join me in my adventure!
Cheers!
So hungry just reading this! lol
I love pho! ☺
