The Best of 2009

I don’t know about you, but after indulging so much over the holiday I’m more than ready to get back to eating healthy, nutritious foods. I’ve been cooking up a storm in the kitchen and have a few great new recipes to share with you. But first I thought it would be appropriate to reflect back on some of my favorite recipes from the past year. I’ve made more than a few great dishes since I got serious about blogging last winter and it seems like a shame to let them get lost in the archives.

So to help you start the New Year off on the right foot, here’s a roundup of some of the most crave-worthy recipes that have appeared on Healthy.Delicious. in 2009. This list certainly doesn’t represent all of my favorites (if I don’t absolutely love something that I make, I generally don’t post it) but they are some of the healthier recipes that I keep going back to and that you can realistically make during this time of the year. I had some fabulous recipes over the summer, but they just wouldn’t be the same without fresh, in-season produce.

Here’s to a great New Year full of healthy and delicious meals, good friends both new and old, and success in and out of the kitchen! If you had to pick one meal as your favorite of 2009, what would it be?

Vegan Dosas

Southwest Stuffed Acorn Squash

Egyptian Lentils with Yogurt-Marinated Chicken

Beef pho

Risotto with Crab and Lemon
Pumpkin polenta with chorizo

Spicy gumbo with andouille and bacon wrapped shrimp

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries

We have a winner!

#64 is Elizabeth who said her favorite holiday appetizers are goat cheese tartlets, because they’r easy to make and you can make them different every time so they never get boring. Sounds delicious!
Elizabeth, send me an email with your info and I’ll have your entertaining kit shipped off to you! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
For the rest of you who expressed interest in buying the cheeseboard, I was able to track it down. It’s actually on clearance for just about $20 at HSN. It’s a really nice board and that price can’t be beat! I haven’t looked into shipping, but if you need any last minute Christmas gifts, it might be a nice option.
