But before we get started… here are a few of my favorite recipes from 2015!
Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Pancetta
This is a recipe I stumbled upon watching a cooking show. This was honestly the first time I ever had brussel sprouts and I fell in love! We make these all the time now.
Bacon Candy
This is a recipe that keeps on giving! We love bacon anyway, but when you add brown sugar and maple syrup, you have created heaven. This is the perfect recipe for a party!
Strawberry Apple Salad
I am always experimenting with salads. It makes me feel like I’m doing something healthy:) This year I finally shared my favorite salad. I love fruit in salad so this is now my favorite!
Dee’s Potato Salad
This may seem like a summer recipe but it’s really not. It makes for a great side dish for anything! I also love that it keeps well in the fridge so you can enjoy it for a while.
White Mozzarella Pizza with Avocados
This was a surprise recipe for me in 2015! I didn’t know I would love this pizza so much. I love pizza and avocados so it was a good place to start.
Homemade Fried Rice
I have always loved fried rice but always made it with pre-made sauce. This recipe comes from my friend and neighbor, Kelli Ross. We exchange food and recipes all the time and when she brought this over one night, I knew I had to make it. It’s delish!
Aunt Kay’s Trash Mix
Here’s another recipe I got from Kelli. This is her Aunt Kays very famous trail mix recipe. I could eat this everyday! This is another perfect recipe for a party or to give away as a party favor!
Peanut Butter Balls with Chocolate Chips
This is a recipe I tried a while back during a spa visit with my friend Amy. We both fell in love! I don’t know why it took me so long to make it. I love these peanut butter balls for breakfast or an afternoon snack.
Strawberry Yogurt Granola Parfait
Here’s another awesome breakfast recipe. This Strawberry Yogurt Granola Parfait takes no time at all to put together and is well-worth the time.
Homemade Cherry Pie
Another great recipe I got from my mother in law! This is actually an award winning recipe she first made while she was in high school. It’s very well known in her hometown!
