Best of 2014

Happy 2015!

I can't believe that I'm typing that.. It feels like yesterday that I was ringing in 2014 while at work. Looking back at this past year has been crazy. SO much has happened - some amazing things, some devastating things, and some things in between. I've traveled and seen new places - Palm Springs, Big Bear, San Francisco/Redwood City. I went back to Sweden for 2 weeks after way too long of a time and got to see family and friends that I love so dearly. I've been back east three times - twice to NJ and once to Florida. I moved apartments and now live in West Hollywood. I lost my grandfather and my horse in the span of 2 weeks plus went through a breakup. I continued auditioning and working on connections out here in LA. And I kept baking and blogging.

 Oh this little blog of mine. I started a "Let's Do Lunch" series and had my loaded baked potato pita pizzas featured on buzzfeed. For a few months I was regularly posting 4 times a week and would like to get back to that in the new year. I made some delicious cakes, donuts, muffins, lunches, cookies.. Let's just say I had some well fed friends :) I participated in the Food Blogger Cookie Swap again as well as the Kitchen Challenge over at Love & Olive Oil.

So while I finish saying goodbye to 2014 and hello to 2015, I thought it would be fun to review the top 14 recipes by view count from my blog. Let me know if any of your favorites didn't make the list.
