i love 2016.

Some may remember 2016 with a bad taste in their mouths, but I'll always remember it as the year I wed the love of my life and saw what might be the most beautiful country in the world.


I also created some good posts, and this year, your favorites and my favorites aligned!


My love affair with plums (which lingers, though they're long out of season) was made evident, especially in the cinnamon plum cake above.


I tried something new in eggplant involtini and was pleasantly surprised by its simplicity and deliciousness!


This one was unexpected, though it's certainly worthy of praise--the Irish know how to make some amazingly creamy scrambled eggs!


I'm so proud of this milk bread--it was a new and challenging technique and one I'll continue to use and love!


I also had a peach obsession for a spell, and pairing them with chicken turned out to be magical.


I got on board the cereal milk train with this Fruity Pebbles pie--talk about a great trend! I hope it sticks around next year, and I hope you'll stick around too!


I have a feeling 2017 will be pretty fantastic.
