Happy all the holidays!! By now, you’ve already celebrated Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah and perhaps a few other holidays… Hopefully you’ve had many, many good times filled with family, fun and everything you wished for.

This time of year gets me real misty-eyed. Which in turn gets me hungry. Which then, in turn, gets me moving… toward the kitchen. Uh, I mean, the gym!! Yep, that’s exactly what I meant. 😉

Besides being hungry and emo, I get reflective. But instead of wearing my heart on my sleeve this time, I thought I’d get out the ol’ virtual recipe box and chat with you about my favorite recipes of 2015. Ooopsy. I totally meant to write 2016. Seriously though, anyone else stuck between switching back and forth, thinking it’s 2017 and 2014?

Me too! Wait, what was I saying? Right! I wanted to share my favorite recipes of 2016 with you. Some from Beaming Baker, some from my friends. Are you hungry ready to do this??

    Okay I love this idea!! I see a lot of “top posts from…” and “best of…” lists floating around these days, but a good old favorites all stats aside list is so much more fun???? Also can we talk about these categories for a minute because it’s a killer breakdown you have here. Breakfast treats (not just foods, but “treats” ???? a.k.a. 10 times as yummy) then right into the lazy but delicious no-bake goodies, round and square treats, chocolate covered, chilly…can the food pyramid just be based on this breakdown please?!???? You are the beaming baking bestest for including a few of mine in this beautiful roundup, thank you my dear❤️ Happy Tuesday after Christmas!! xo

      Well, get yourself ready for some good ol’ fashioned Top Posts on Thursday! *Blushing* Ya know, I was looking at my analytics for my top posts and the top 10 didn’t include all of my faves. They also didn’t include faves from my friends (duh hehe). So, why not a fave post? 🙂 YES, it can! Haha. Whatever you please, my dear! Your recipes rock (double duh!!) Happy Wednesday after Christmas! xoxoxo
