Donna’s Favorites from 2013

Choosing my favorites was like trying to pick a favorite child, for me it was anyway. I love all of the recipes that I have shared with you this year. So, I had to dig deep.

The bar was set pretty high. Every recipe below garnered a full ‘happy dance’ in the kitchen while I taste tested. Not to mention there were all remade again and again with the same ‘happy dance’ encore.

Trust me when I tell you if you have not tried these recipes, get on it! You will thank me later.
