Ever Ready-A Year in Review

One of my most favorite holiday cards came from my sister in law. I loved the simplicity of the message.

I thought you might be interested in knowing what were some of my favorites from the past year. As I scrolled through the months all I could think of was "Did I really cook all that food?" And indeed I did! It was challenging choosing which recipes to repost. Enjoy a look back at 2017

Cook's Notes: As I review the list of recipes its hard to even pick an all time favorite for 2017. I liked each dish for a different reason. Of all the 10 I made the Glazed Eggnog Bread with Cranberries the most.  Perhaps a total of 15 mini loaves. Chicken Burrito Bowls  won me over with such a creative simple concept having a fiesta dinner and everyone making up their own bowl. White Chocolate Mousse in these cute prepackaged dessert cups were just a decadent festive dessert. 
My hope is Ever Ready may have inspired your cooking this past year to be a bit more adventuresome trying some new dishes that have twist. I can say with great certainty my most overuse of a spice this past year was Saigon Cinnamon!
