It’s the end of the year as we know it. It’s the end of the year as we know it. It’s. The. End of the year as we know it, and IIII feeeeel faaaaaaaaat.
We made it! Another year under our belts, another 1,095 meals, well, under our belts. Isn’t it tow to the cray (last day of the year, just let me have this) to imagine that we seriously eat 3 times a day, 365 days in a row? And if every day we’re pulling in, what is it, 2,000 calories? That’s like 730 thou . . .not including drin . . . oh. OH. OH MY EYES. MY EYEEEES.
You know what, let’s not even think about that riff raff.
INSTEAD, let’s just take a quicksie look back at your TOP TEN faves from the year and think about what a gas we had together, ‘mmmmkay? (no pun, ahem, intended)
ROLL THE CURTAIN.
10. Slow Cooker Shredded Beef Enchiladas: Oh my gawwwwsh do you remember this?! Remember how hot I made that sauce and then passed out on the floor? BAHAHA. Go look. Oh man. Actually don’t go look. My hair was bad.
9. Coconut Curry Chicken Soup: Mmmmm, mmmm, good. WAIT, can I get sued for saying that? Forget I said anything. But seriously, this soup was totes (last day, you guys) mmmmm, mmmmm good.
8. Chicken Taco Pasta: YES. I knew you’d dig on this. I plan on hibernating in this for the next 2.9 months in case you can’t find me.
7. Simple Tandoori Chicken Naan Pizza: Easiest mutha lovin’ pizza out there. And I change my mind. Hibernation pizza mission staaaarts now.
6. Spaghetti with Kale and Lemon: Wait. I might need to change my mind again. Yes. I definitely do.
5. Lemony Roasted Potato Salad: Ooooooo, remember this from the summer? I’m adding this to my hibernation mission. I don’t even care. I’m doin’ it.
4. Buffalo Chicken Pull-Apart Bread: Okay if I really want to get serious about hibernation, it’s with this. Between those layers? Are you kidding? Do you even know how cozy that would be? p.s. have you tried this? p.s.s. get on and in that.
3. Slow Cooker Thai Chicken Noodle Soup: Ahhhhh yes. This here soup started off the year with a maj-ah splash (sorry), and rightly so, yo. Slurp slurp.
2. Smoky Corn Chowder with Shrimp: Two words: MOM. MY.
1. Shrimp Pasta with Tomatoes, Lemon and Spinach: Aaaaand here she iiiiiiiis, Miss AmeriShrimpPastawithTomatoesLemonandSpinaaaaach. Here she is, your ideaaaaalmeaaaaal. (I’m singing to you. Yes, again.)
This gal got AROUND this year. Around the BLOCK. Like, ALL YEAR. I’m trying to sound like Chris Rock. Can you hear it? No? Okay.
I can’t thaaaank you enough for making this internet blog website URL www.bevcooks.com a successful one this year. I would just stick you all in my purse if I could. You rule so hard.
Okay. Last day of the year! Go outside and play in the snow! But seriously, cover your head, ears, hands and feet if you can. You don’t want all that wetness coming in and giving you the hepatitis. Wrap some little plastic baggies around your socks and then slip your boots over them. Or heck, wrap them on the outside of your boots too!
You know what, just take a flask.
See your faces next year.
You had so many tasty recipes this year! I am looking forward to more in 2013!
I am honestly moving in to your kitchen (and backyard). I love your food, your photos and YOU!
Happy 2013 Bev!
Love ‘em all you foodie G-E-N-I-U-S
wish i could pay u to cook ‘em all for me in 2013.
XOXOXOXOXOXXOO
I made #6 and #2, oh yes, I did. And they were delish. And also? My pants are tight. Looking forward to more yummy and funny from you in 2013. Happy New Year, Bev!
You’re killing me. The enchiladas and the buffalo chicken bread will be the death of me.
Happy New Year, Bev! I’ve made so many tasty meals this year, because of YOU. Thanks for making me feel like a badass in my own kitchen. One of my favorites (and one of the easiest recipes to follow!) was this one. Love you, lady! xo.
Great roundup and amazing recipes! Your Thai Chicken Noodle Soup is seriously one of my favorites! Happy New Year!
Those enchiladas are calling my name! Happy New Year and so happy to have met you this year!
That buffalo pull apart bread slays me every dang time. Surrreeeously. Happy new year, love!! Hope to see you next year
Yum – I am bookmarking a few of these! I have my top posts up too – stop by and see if you have time.
Okay, you just officially helped plan my January menu. I love you for that…and for so many other reasons, too. BTY…are you coming to Austin for BlogHer Food? Please say, “Yes!” If so, we will plan to meet for lunch or dinner with the dear, sweet Kristen because she can verify that I am legitimate and not all crazy and such.
Happy, happy 2013. I hope that it is a great one for you!
Happy New Year, Bev! These all look A-MAZ-ING!!
So glad Phillip brought me to you (and all these yummy recipes) this year. My husband’s tummy thanks you!
I want to make everything you cook. You complete me and I can’t quit you. THANK YOU for being such an inspiration. xo
Okay, so I don’t follow anyone unless I am absolutely taken with their posts. And I am taken. I’m already looking forward to the next one. Only problem: I tried to subscribe and got a bunch of gobblety-goop saying something about here is the tree…
Anyway, thought you might want to know about it so you could fix it if it’s a problem. Could be just me, but just in case.
Happy New Year!
Hahaah! Thank you. I went ahead and got you subscribed. I wish I knew what “here is the tree” is. That’s awesome. I’m glad you’re taken! Even if that sounds totally creepy.
Every single dish looks amazing. You completely rocked the blogosphere this year. I am freaking over the buffalo chicken pull apart bread. I think mensa is going to be contacting you over that one. Mark my words, it’s freaking brilliant. Happy New Year!
Happy 2013 Bev! If I ever need something savory and beautiful to look at it, this is where I come! Not only do the recipes I’m sure taste amazing, but your photos and their light and airy and beautiful quality inspire me every day!
You had a rockstar of a year. Cheers to 2013!
Can’t wait for more great recipes in 2013! Happy New Year!
xo
That pull apart is absolutely insane! Happy New year!!!
I can’t wait to see what happens in 2013!
Happy New Year! Good things to come in 2013!
Saving this page!
So, I was totally thinking about that today! (How we eat 3 times a day!) Kind of crazy, but I’m not complaining!
Happy new year!!
Happy New Year, Bev. Thank you for all the great recipes. My fav didnt make the list but I now have it at least once a week. Gemelli Pasta with garden greens…fantastic!
Those beef enchiladas are positively drool worthy!
So beautiful, Bev, all of it. Your photography is amazing!! Happy New Year, sweetie, and hope we meet up in 2013!! xoxo
I remember that chicken taco pasta, and it still haunts me to this day. One day I will make it and eat it, and that’ll be the last you ever see of me… (cause I will thereafter be hibernating in it with you)
Just had to go back and pin all the ones that I missed! Now there is some seriously delicious-lookin’ stuff.
You had me at “chicken taco pasta,” though I’m likely to wash it down with a gallon and a half of avocados. Oh, and tequila. Oh, and you’re funny. I like funny. I like you. Happy 2013!
I feel fat too. But since I’m on vacation until the 5th and my kids are out of school, I personally decided that the New Year doesn’t really start until the 7th. So in the mean time, I will be dah-roooooling over your recipes. You have such a gift Bev- I literally want to eat every single thing on your list- ESPECIALLY that chicken coconut curry soup.
Amazing round up! Everything looks so fresh and delicious….where to start, where to start????
Happy new year Bev, I can’t wait to see what 2013 has in store for you!
This is such a delicious round up!! Happy New Year!!
Happy new year, Bev! This is a mighty tasty roundup. Cheers to many more delicious meals in 2013!
