Favorite Recipes of 2009

new year

I can’t believe it is almost time to say goodbye to 2009. I always enjoy looking back-we had a busy year filled with fun, laughs, travels, work, hard times, the best of times, and of course tasty food:)

We did more than our fair share of cooking and baking. Here are a few of our favorite recipes from 2009.

yogurt

Homemade Yogurt-making our own yogurt has saved us tons of money, plus it is delicious, healthy, and easy!

apple

Apple Cinnamon Cookie Bars-these bars were featured on Saveur as “Best of the Web.” Try them and you will know why.

pizza

Pizza-we love making homemade pizza. Try our whole wheat crust-you make it in the food processor and it only rises for 20 minutes.  We also fell in love with grilling our pizzas. In the fall, we created a roasted butternut squash pizza with rosemary and carmalized onions-another winner!

smores

Cookies-it is hard to choose just one cookie since I created several favorites this past year. The S’mores, Flourless Peanut Butter, and Chocolate Toffee cookies were probably the most popular. My personal favorite are the oatmeal cookies with cinnamon roasted almonds, cocoa nibs, and dark chocolate.

bread

Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day-we learned a new bread baking method thanks to Zoe and Jeff. We can’t praise Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day enough. We made lots of crusty loaves of bread, pizza crusts, and we are now enjoying their healthy breads.

wings

Buffalo Hot Wings-I asked Josh what his favorite recipe was from 2009 and he immediately answered-HOT WINGS! Make these for your New Years party or any game day!

I better stop there, I have too many favorites:)  We had a great time in the kitchen in 2009.  Do you have a favorite recipe from our blog? Please share!

Also, go to Carrots N Cake, one of my favorite blogs, to check out my guest post: Tips to Control Portions. And don’t forget to sign up for the Ten in 2010 Healthy Challenge. It starts on January 2nd!

Happy New Year everyone. We hope you will continue following Two Peas and Their Pod in 2010. We are excited for the New Year and are grateful for all of you!

Get the best of the best!
