Our Top 10 Favorite Recipes of 2012: Savory + Sweet

My blog has made it through a second year... and it was a GREAT one. 

I never thought that I could top the previous year, but we certainly did. 

This is by far my favorite thing to post. 

Our Top 10 Favorite Recipes of 2012: Savory + Sweet is finally here :)

Let's just say it was really hard to chose between all of our yummy meals, but we managed.

And I officially declare it the year of the fried chicken, waffles, ice cream, & pie...

Oh yeah, and lots of bacon. But that will happen every year.

Thank you to everyone who checks my blog regularly,

It truly is amazing. 

So, how were y'alls New Years celebrations?

And, what were your favorite recipes?

I love you all.
