2008 1st Blog Year In Review

Coming up in a few weeks is my Blogiversary (hmm...may have to just get a giveaway together for that!) -- which means I've got a full year of recipes to reflect on from my blog!


I started this blog as a hobby after my wedding planning days were over (My wedding was in November 2007). DH kept insisting I needed a hobby, and then I stumbled across the What's Cooking board on the nest, and realized I could blog my cooking, share it easily, and REALLY make it a hobby!


I still have trouble getting good pictures, I'm often rushed (not a lot of time for pictures and setup when you don't get home until 6:45-7 every night), but I still enjoy it.


So here are my favorites from the last year -- here's to many more!
