2011 certainly came and went much quicker than I anticipated. It has been a busy, exciting and exhausting year. I wish I would have devoted more time to the blog (I only posted about half as many times in 2011 as I did in 2010), but Oven Love was on the back burner for most of the year. I won't be making any promises about posting more often in 2012, though it sounds like a nice idea in theory. I know things are about to get crazy in this house with the new baby arriving in just a few weeks.
So, just like I did in 2009 (somehow this link no longer shows my photos, sorry!) and 2010, and like everyone in Blogland will probably be doing sometime this week, I present my favorite posts from 2011. I hope you'll enjoy the look back and put a few of these on your list (or pin them on your board, Pinsters) to try in the new year.
Lots of love and best wishes for a great 2012!

Lightened Up Chili
This chili doesn't taste light at all- it's really filling!
Fruit and Nut Granola
Forgot how much I love this recipe until today. Now I've got to make some before baby comes..

A fun twist on the BLT that's great for brunch or a light lunch.
These seem so fancy but are simple to put together. Don't be afraid to make crepes- you will love them!
I love the simplicity of this dish.. AND the fact that if you add chicken, it tastes like Olive Garden's Garlic Chicken con Broccoli!
Usually I just eat Nutella with a spoon, but when I'm feeling fancy, these cookies really hit the spot.
A fresh summer salad for picnics, potlucks or packed lunches.
One of my favorite meals to serve to a crowd. Guys love this one.
This is just a beautiful thing to put into your belly.
You don't ever need to go to Starbucks for coffee cake if you have this recipe!
All the best fall flavors in one big bowl.
My last post of the year, but a really tasty discovery.
Now go forth into 2012 and start cooking something delicious!

This is great! That farfalle con broccoli has my name written all over it. I'd like to invite you over to our blog to link up some of these during our "best recipes of 2011" week!
