I am joining in today with Beverly of BE glorious who had the wonderful idea to prepare an 11-11-11 post with:
*your favorite ELEVEN personal photos (so photos taken by you or with you in them) taken in 2011
*a list of ELEVEN things you want to (need to, have to) accomplish btw now and the end of the year
*ELEVEN things you've read/seen/experienced in 2011.
I'm adapting Beverly's idea slightly as I focus on food & recipes. Robbie and I both enjoy cooking and trying new recipes, and I thought this would be a fun review of the foods we experienced and still want to try in 2011.
First, ELEVEN of my favorite food photos taken in 2011. These are all photos of foods that Robbie and I made at some point during the year.
Second, a list of ELEVEN new recipes we want to try before now and the end of the year. I have a file folder in the kitchen where we collect recipes that we want to try; some are pulled from magazines or the newspaper, others are printed from blogs or other online sites, and some are recipes from friends. We both went through the collection in the file yesterday and chose these eleven to try before the end of the year.
1. Pumpkin Pecan Bread
2. Garden Three-Bean Salad with Fresh French Dressing
3. Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
4. Grits-and-Greens Breakfast Bake
5. Taco Rice
6. Edmund's Up North Roasted Potatoes
7. Pea Salad
8. Mini Crab Cakes with Garlic-Chive Sauce
9. Grilled Maple Chipotle Pork Chops
10. Spicy Steak and Black Bean Chili
11. Fresh Herb Spoon Rolls
Last, here are ELEVEN foods that we have enjoyed while dining out this year.
