What a year!
In between moving and learning to live (and eat) in a fantastic new city, there’s been so much to write about. Some of my highlights have been:
- Introducing a blog redesign with a new logo to start out the year
- Traveling to San Diego and D.C.
- Writing 8 N.C. One Bite at a Time posts
- Debuting my first cooking video thanks to Truebadours
- Sharing countless Simple Saturday ideas
And I’m so thrilled that you have been along for the food-filled ride. You guys are the best!
Let’s remember the highlights of the past blog year by exploring the top 5 think fruitful posts of 2014. (Since I switched to self hosting this fall, I can only tell the top posts since then, so keep that in mind).
1. Blogsgiving Progressive Dinner Part 1: Carolina Apple Sidecar
It was such a pleasure to be involved in Blogsgiving this year where bloggers across the US gave readers holiday recipes and tips throughout the week. This gave me the chance to come up with this fabulous cocktail and share with all of you!
2. Made in NC: Wit & Whistle, Blog Bday & Giveaway
The blog year was made even more exciting by the addition of new series like my Made in NC posts where I shared a locally-made good and sometimes even had a giveaway. This was my first giveaway and in celebration of my third blog bday! I hope to be doing more with this series next year.
3.Top Trader Joe’s Wines
I’m so glad that you guys enjoyed reading about a few of my favorite tasty but inexpensive Trader Joe’s wines. It’s for certain that living near a Trader Joe’s had spiced up my food blog life this year.
4. Winter Comforts: Sausage & Kale Stuffed Shells
I’ve really been enjoying winter casseroles these days, so I’m glad that others are looking for easy, freezer-friendly recipes for feeding their family. This one was definitely a winner!
5. 5 Ideas for Foodie Wedding Gifts
I guess that it’s never a bad time to throw out some good gift ideas. This year, I enjoyed sharing some foodie wedding gift ideas, as well as a Good Gift Giving Guide for 2014.
Thank for following along. Here’s to another great year of eating, new ideas and celebrating the world around us in 2015!
