It was 1 year ago today that we created this blog! We have enjoyed learning to cook over the past year and being able to share our adventures with you. To celebrate our 1 year "blogiversary" we decided to pick our 5 favorite recipes from our blog archive. Enjoy.
Amanda's Favorites
No Bake Cookies: I picked this recipe because it was delicious and easy to make. These cookies tasted just like the one they served in high school. Although I haven't had the opportunity to make them again, they are a permanent addition to my recipe box.
White Cheese Chicken Lasagna: This was a great spin on traditional lasagna. I made this recipe and froze it for my parents and it still turned out very tasty!
Butternut Squash Soup: While this recipe didn't receive 7 spoons, it is a dish that, when looking back through our recipes, I can't wait to eat again. It is a tasty seasonal dish that reminds me of fall.
Roasted Red Pepper Hummus: I think this is a great homemade hummus recipe. I recognize that not all people enjoy hummus, but I loved this and can't wait to make it again.
Turkey Meatloaf: This recipe has become my go-to meatloaf recipe. It is simply delicious and using turkey instead of beef makes it a little bit more healthy. And making it in muffin tins only adds to the fun!
John's Favorites
Caramel Fudge Cheesecake: The ultimate desert for someone with a sweet tooth such as myself. As you can see in my choices I like chocolate desserts and this one was the best of the bunch.
Pork Tenderloin with Dijon Marsala Sauce: Pork of any type is right up my alley and the sauce from this recipe really put it over the top. I typically like fruit sauces with my pork but this savory sauce may have converted me.
Chocolate Surprise Cupcakes: This cupcake was a fantastic surprise indeed. I think that this is just more proof that cream cheese can make just about anything better.
Chicken Pot Pie: I have gotten pot pies in restaurants and have always enjoyed them. I have tried the frozen version at home and have always been disappointed. This recipe changed my entire view of the pot pie. It really all comes down the the crust and this one nails it.
No Bake Cookies: This cookie is all about nostalgia. It tastes just as good as I remember from my school days. Recommended food and drink pairings include shrimp shapes, mashed potatoes and gravy, fruit cocktail, and milk (from a carton).

Maybe when the spoiled child leaves for college Dad and I can be adventerous and create a food blog of our own. Until then we'll keep looking forward to more of your creations and inspirations.

Hello! A reader of mine emailed me about your site and urged me to visit. Great minds must think alike, it seems, especially in a big place like the food blogging community.
Congratulations on your one year anniversary.
