Christmas Countdown- Days 2 & 1

Merry Christmas!

We decided to combine days 2 & 1 a) so we have the day off tomorrow and b) chances are, you've already hit the grocery store already.

First of all, we wanted to thank everyone for all the support!  Being able to share our kitchen successes with you all is a wonderful thing.  There are so many wonderful food blogs and sites out there, and we really appreciate that you have chosen ours to follow! 

Here are some of our favorite recipes from 2011.  We'll do a more elaborate year-end feature, but these are some ideas for meals to try before the end of the year:
