2014 Top Twelve

Let me just start by saying 2014 was an interesting year. Let's see.. The flu right after Christmas. The fractured hand in February. A case of food poisoning in April. And let's not forget that fractured ankle in June. Seriously, my New Year's resolution for 2015 is to stay in one piece! But this is a food blog so let's get to the point. Top Twelve Best Dinners of 2014 -

 January 18 - Becco.
Even as I type this it was one of the most memorable meals I have had.

February 23 - Short Rib Pot Pie.
I don't think I need to even say anything about this.

March 5 - Round Lasagna.
It is just such an amazing dish!

April 12 - Bread and Vegetable Lasagna.
Any meatless meal that Chris likes is a winner.

May 17 - The Stuffed Artichoke Recipe I Have Been Searching For.
Just so close to my Mom's.

June 30 - Lenore's Chicken Croquettes. 

Tough one to pick, Lenore brought over a lot of really good dinners

but I think this one was my favorite.

 July 8 - Eggplant and Tomato Casserole.
When you have too many tomatoes make this!

August 16 - Friselle con Pomodoro. 

Anytime you have tomatoes make this!

September 25 - Marcella Hazan's Tomato Sauce with Onion and Butter.

This was a life changing recipe.

 I have always made a quick marinara the same way my Mom did. 

Sorry Mom but this is my new go to recipe.

October 7 - One Tray Bake.

Jamie Oliver recipe. Always a winner!

November 17 - Beef Stew with Cannellini Beans.

Perfect for a cold night.

December 30 - Not My Mother's Meatballs.

Yeah this beat out Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

It was a fun recipe to make and these were tasty meatballs!

Happy New Year to Everyone!
