Hello everyone,

Happy new year to all! To celebrate, I have assembled a list of my favourite posts of 2016. Some make the list because they have an interesting story, and others because they are simply an awesome recipe. Enjoy the tasty memories!

1. Europe Part 5: Croatia and Pasticada

For our honeymoon, John and I visited Europe and traveled to Barcelona, Italy and Croatia. I did 5 posts in this series and had a hard time picking a favourite. But in the end, the leg in Croatia will always hold a special place in my heart, and therefore top spot on this list!

2. John’s Buffalo Chicken Pizza

No best of list could be complete without one of John’s recipes. This buffalo chicken pizza is a household favourite and a crowd pleaser everytime. Be sure to use John’s Buffalo Sauce Recipe (one of my favs from 2015) for this pizza and other buffalo sauce needs.

 

3. Best Brownie Recipe Ever

Brownies are beautiful, brownies are fine
I love brownies I eat them all the time
I eat them for my supper and I eat them for my lunch
If I had a hundred brownies I’d eat them all at once!

After much experimenting and tweaking, this is the brownie recipe I have come up with! .

 

 

4. Dill Pickle Soup

If you’ve never tried dill pickle soup, the whole concept may sound crazy to you. If you’ve tried it before, you will clearly understand why it makes my best of 2016 list. Give this one a chance!

 

 

 

 

5. Chana Masala (Chickpea Curry)

Another recipe that I think I have perfected. I have been making this recipe for years, and it warms my soul every time I eat it! So spicy and delicious.

 

 

6. Italian Sausage and Tortellini Soup

This is just a damn good soup. Hearty, meaty, carb-y, vegetable-y and a killer broth to boot. Try it out, you’ll see!

 

 

 

Wishing you a fantastically fun and food-filled 2017,

Julie
