I love food. And although I’m not an expert when it comes to cooking, I do try my best to prepare food here at home because even though I love going out to eat at restaurants or get takeouts, I still prefer home-cooked meals more than anything.
I’ve shared our food adventures here on the blog as well as the recipes that I’ve created and prepared. I’m recapping it all for you today just in case you’ve missed one or two or perhaps all of them. 🙂 So here you go!
I took this photo when we celebrated Hubby’s birthday in February last year. His birthday was extra special for us because it was kind of like a “rebirth” for him. Read more of that story in the Food Trip section below in the post, An Extra Special Birthday Celebration. That said, this photo is so special because it reminds me of that special night and so I chose it to be the primary photo for this Best of 2016 Food post.

Home cooked meals are the best. I do enjoy going out to try new foods too though. You’ve got an amazing list of foods from last year, I need to check out each one.
Ahh! This is so great! I love all of your recipes, and having so many of them in one place is great. I made the monster cupcakes, and they were delicious, BTW.
Wow, these are all looks a yummy meal It makes me hungry especially the Avocado smoothie one of my f avorite.
YOu have been buy cooking this past year! So many great recipes for me to try!
I love how you make the smoothie, it’s my kind of breakfast I really love that!
These were fantastic and easy to make! I’m really glad that you shared it again.
I love the monster cupcakes and wish that I was able to make them all fancy. I am beginning to think that I just haven’t tried using the right equipment or frosting to ice the cupcakes.
The smoothie also looks so good. I wish that I had some avocados. They were just too green at the store so I didn’t buy any this time. Maybe next time, I will pick some up and give this smoothie a try.
That avocado and tomato salad looks perfect for me. I could get down with that!
Great list! The avocado and tomato salad looks tasty. I gotta try that!
I love making smoothies, especially avocado smoothies. I like to blend it with coconut water and mango. It makes the perfect morning treat!
So many good looking foods right here. But that avocado salad appeals to me so much. I love anything greens and salad. Will definitely have to try that and paired with that refreshing smoothie.
Great list! I love all of these recipe ideas. I think the avocado salad is what I’ll try first. I’ve also never had an avocado smoothie.
It looks like you had an amazing time cooking this past year. I can’t wait to try out some of your recipes.
I enjoy cooking, especially cooking for a crowd. Before my children married I normally cooked for a minimum of 6-7 and with friends hanging around for dinner it was more like 10-12. Great memories and my girls all enjoy cooking for thier families now.
