Top 24 Recipes of 2010

I know many bloggers did their year end recap of the recipes they made in 2010. Some narrowed it down to ten and twelve recipes, but I just can't do that! I made far too many yummy recipes last year to narrow it down to 10 recipes, so today you get my top 24 favorites of 2010- that's 2 recipes per month. Enjoy!

Here they are in no particular order:

  1. Pumpkin Cream Cheese Swirl Bread
  2. Baked Corn Dog Muffins
  3. Homemade Soft Pretzels
  4. Banana Pudding Pie
  5. Ferrero Rocher Cupcakes
  6. Carrot Cake Cookies
  7. Coffee Chocolate Chip Muffins
  8. Lemon Meringue Pie
  9. Blueberry Cake
  10. Bacon Brown Sugar Waffles
  11. Bruscetta Burgers
  12. Pecan Pie Cupcakes
  13. Cinnanon Swirl Raisin Bread
  14. Garlic Chile Chicken Legs
  15. Peanut Butter Cookies
  16. Planters Punch Cake
  17. Grape Salad
  18. Apple Cake with Brown Sugar Glaze
  19. Chocolate Zucchini Cake
  20. Turkey Pesto Meatballs
  21. Mocha Frappe Pie
  22. Cranberry Orange Bread
  23. Golden Rum Cake
  24. Rustic Tomato Tart

That's it! I hope you'll make and enjoy some of my favorites. If you do, I hope you'll let me know how they turn out!

  22. Monica, I absolutely love your recipes. I always know that if I make something I found on your blog it is sure to be delicious. In fact right now I have the chocolate sour cream bundt cake sitting on a cake stand waiting to be covered in ganache for my daughters first birthday tomorrow. Thanks!

  23. Monica--I love your recipes and the way that you photograph them. Any chance you could do a future post about photographing food and offer tips, what settings you use, how you select dishes for presentation, etc.? I would love to read something like that. I never feel like I can capture a good photo of anything that I cook.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Well, if it was up to me I would have to say that ALL your recipes from 2010 should be on your "Top" list....i have yet to see a recipe that is NOT good on your blog Monica. :-)

  25. So glad the apple cake made the 'best' list! We made it a few times this fall and it's a new favorite in our house. My 3 year olds were talking just the other day about all the things they will be able to make themselves when they grow up and apple cake was in there!

    ReplyDelete
  26. The apple cake with the brown glace, It was ssssssssoooooooo good. I was sure that you would put it in your best recipe of the year! And, I'm afraid that there is a lot of recipes that I would like to prepare!

  49. Hi! I just found your blog and I love it! Just so many nice treats here. The no copyright thing is pretty annoying though, I keep forgetting and right clicking post titles to open them in a new tab and then that message comes up. If I enter in this tab I have to scroll all the way down again.. just a thought. I mean no offense, I'm really loving your blog it is just driving me crazy :)
