With 2012 right around the corner, it’s time to reflect on 2011. \u00c2\u00a0Today I’d like to share my favorite recipes from the last year (in chronological order)….<\/p>\n

1. \u00c2\u00a0Caribbean Chicken Kebabs with Lime-Cayenne Butter<\/a>– \u00c2\u00a0Hands down, the best thing we grilled all year long. \u00c2\u00a0Great flavors, and also goes well with beef and shrimp.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. \u00c2\u00a0Fig Prosciutto Pizza with Arugula<\/a>– The recipe that started my fig obsession. \u00c2\u00a0Sweet fig preserves paired with salty prosciutto and cheese….I don’t think I will ever get tired of this pizza. \u00c2\u00a0Craving it right now!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. \u00c2\u00a0Pumpkin Waffles<\/a>– My first time using our waffle maker. \u00c2\u00a0The beginning of the Waffle Revolution at our house, and the best waffle recipe I tried all year long (and I tried quite a few!).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4. \u00c2\u00a0Cajun Chicken Pasta<\/a>– (no photo). \u00c2\u00a0One of my favorite dishes ever. \u00c2\u00a0So easy to make, and easy to adapt for a large dinner party.<\/p>\n

5. \u00c2\u00a0Beef With Peppers<\/a>– This has become my go-to stir fry dish when I’m craving Asian takeout. \u00c2\u00a0I love the flavors and the slight spiciness of this dish!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

6. \u00c2\u00a0Bacon Wrapped Figs<\/a>– Heavenly little morsels! \u00c2\u00a0A great appetizer or snack, but good luck sharing them with anyone else. \u00c2\u00a0You’ll want to eat them all!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

7. \u00c2\u00a0Crockpot Whole Chicken<\/a>-The easiest way to cook a whole chicken. \u00c2\u00a0Produces a tender, juicy, flavorful chicken that can be used in soups, casseroles, or eaten straight out of the crockpot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

8. \u00c2\u00a0Fall Salad with Butternut Squash and Apple Butter Vinaigrette<\/a>– The beginning of my current salad obsession. \u00c2\u00a0This one has several of my favorite things: butternut squash, goat cheese, pecans, and dried cranberries. \u00c2\u00a0A great side dish for Fall.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

9. \u00c2\u00a0Winter Berry Salad Wreath with Lemon Poppyseed Dressing<\/a>– This salad not only looks gorgeous but tastes delicious too. \u00c2\u00a0Not too difficult to make, and great for when you want to impress. \u00c2\u00a0Perfect for brunch, potluck dinners, or holiday parties.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

10. \u00c2\u00a0Pork Tenderloin Medallions with Cilantro Pesto<\/a>– \u00c2\u00a0Primal cooking at it’s best. \u00c2\u00a0The Cilantro Pesto is out of this world!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

11. \u00c2\u00a0Pomegranate Hazelnut Holiday Salad with Maple Bacon Dressing<\/a>– yes, this was my most recent post, and yes, this is the third salad on my Top 11 List, but this one is just too delicious not to include. \u00c2\u00a0I love pomegranate and bacon. \u00c2\u00a0Especially together.<\/p>\n
