Eclecticisms- The Best of 2011

2011 was a pretty blogtastic year for me! I made a goal in January to blog at least once per week and I obviously went way above and beyond that goal. Although it's very important to me to stay active here, I'm honestly happy with once per week, if that's all I can do at the time. The important thing is that I don't lose sight of my goals and let my blog be forgotten. It really does mean a lot to me and I'm very thankful to everyone who reads it! (I hope you get something out of it too... fun, food, anything!)

Annnnnd... I'm approach 10,000 views!!! I never thought I'd have so many by now and I'm "super jazzed" about it!

As 2011 is wrapping up (only 2 weeks left... yikes!) I wanted to post some of my favorite blogs from this year. Check them out and enjoy!


Sunflower Seed Butter Cookies I'm proud to say that this is my recipe. It's a great substitute for peanut butter cookies when you have someone with nut allergies in the house!

Flan Cheesecake I don't think I need to explain why I love this one.

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Because they were so good I made two batches in one week!

Blizzard 2011 It's hard to believe this really happened. What a storm!

Parsnip and Carrot Mash with Feta Because it's delicious and healthy.

Adler Planetarium Trip I love museums and I'm actually going to more lately!

Fun Soap Recipes DIY fun with my cousin! I love trying new things.

Strawberry Cake It was tasty, and in honor of my Momma's B-day.

Featured Ingredient: Rhubarb! A fast and delicious treat for the summer- learn to use this yummy vegetable!

Cake Decorating I finally have some decorating skills!

Quinoa Tabbouli Salad Healthy. Yummy.

Tickled Tuesday Because animals amaze me.

Mushroom "Caviar" Perfect for anytime, anywhere.

Biscuits and Veggie-Sausage Gravy So tasty- I can finally enjoy this dish again!

Ginger Pie It's Maude related. How would this not be a favorite?!

Best-Ever Mushroom Cream Sauce Because I made it up and it's one of the BEST sauces I've ever tasted. Seriously.

City Girl Smores Campfire food in the kitchen. These will add lots of pounds if I don't watch it.


That's it! There's a lot here, I know. I'm not very decisive. I hope you keep reading and start following via RSS (if you arent' already) so you can keep up when I move over to Wordpress soon!
