Top 10 Recipes of 2013

It makes me crazy. Absolutely crazy. We are TWO DAYS away from 2014 and I feel like just twenty minutes ago I was falling asleep at 10:30pm- I MEAN cheersing at the turn of 2013 with bubbling champagne in hand and big dreams for the new year.

And here we are. I’ve got swollen logs for legs, balloons for feet and two hyperactive gremlins pretty much clawing and gnawing their way out of my belly. Who made me do this again?

I keed, I keed. Although I have to say, of all the recipes this year, I think the best one I made was the two darling babie – yeah I can’t even get through that sentence without wanting to punch myself in the face with a block of cheese.

Your top 10 recipes of the year!

10) Homemade Pizza Rolls:  I like how you think.

9) Chicken, Spinach and Mushroom Manicotti:  My face just fell off my head thinking about this recipe again.

Wasn’t that fun!?

Okay so, I plan on taking a little blog maternity break from food, but I’ll absoluuuuuuutely be popping in here and there with baby updates and photos. Mostly of baby barf, so just get ready. I’ll be Instagraming a TON, so if you’re into that, you can always follow the disaster there.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! You all make me so happy. You just have no idea.

    Happy New Year, Bev! As much as I love your recipes, I will happily enjoy your cooking break while you post more baby-related things. When I told my mom that you are naming Baby Natalie after Natalie Wood, just as she did me, she was just beaming!

    Bev, I thought that we had agreed that I would take over your blog while you were on maternity break? Way to let your sister down in front of everyone. Way to go Bev. Thought you trusted me with it? I can cook too. I can.
