yesterday i recapped the most popular posts of 2011. here are my favorites through the year.

january: portobello mushroom fajitas. a meatless meal with all the expected mexican flavors. you won't miss the meat!

february: risotto stuffed portobellos. two of my favorite things: stuff meaty portobellos with leftover risotto for an easy meal.

march: waffles of insane greatness. perfect waffles every time.

april: meyer lemon tart. i finally found meyer lemons. and boy was this tart worth it.

may: french silk chocolate pie. the single best chocolate dessert i've ever had. ever.

june: blackberry swirl ice cream. i have a soft spot for berry anything.

july: breakfast tacos. breakfast potatoes + eggs + beans + fresh salsa + cilantro. perfect.

august: oatmeal cream pies. whip these babies up in no time and feel like a kid again.

september: classic peach pie. as much as i love berries, peaches are my absolute favorite. and this one was my first pie in 10 years.

october: deconstructed lasagna. i love lasagna but it takes too long to put together. this pasta fixes that.

november: thomas keller's chocolate chip cookies. i brought a few to my parents' house and my mom can't get enough!

december: chewy white chocolate chip gingerbread cookies. these have earned a spot in my holiday cookie rotation.
