When we look back over the last year, what stands out for both of us it the start of this blog.  It is not perfect and there is still a lot to learn, but we stepped out and are enjoying the journey.  As we move into 2012, we are sure it will bring new recipes and great ideas from the kitchen.  What is it about 2011 that you most remember?
