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?
Southwest Stuffed Acorn Squash
Egyptian Lentils with Yogurt-Marinated Chicken
Spicy gumbo with andouille and bacon wrapped shrimp
I just tried pho for the first time this year – love it! Thanks for the 2009 recap and look forward to seeing what 2010 brings! 😀
Great sleection!
Pho is my fave!!!
Thanks for some great, healthy ideas! I am getting tired of the all the heavy foods lately – need to change things up.
As for my favorite meal of 2009 – it had to have been our 1st anniversary dinner at a local restaurant. Sure, part of it was the awesome food – but part of it was the romance and memories. And for me, connecting with others is the best part of food!
Some good ideas to start 2010 off with…
