A Year in Review

When I got home from our long weekend I found my Google Reader full of everyone doing a review of 2010.  So I thought I'd join the crowd. 

I've decided to highlight events, food, and books from 2010.

We'll start with the food.

Top 10 recipes I made in 2010 (in no particular order)

1. BBQ Chicken Pizza

2. Grilled Steaks with Sweet-Spicy Hoisin Sauce

3. Chocolate-Cream Cheese-Peanut Butter Bars 

4. Garden Pasta Salad 

5. Beef Stew

6. Enchilada Casserole

7. Creamy Taco Mac

8. Spinach Artichoke Dip

9. Creamy Fiesta Salsa Chicken

10. Beef & Cheese Manicotti

 

What did we do this year?  Oh yeah, we had a baby!!  ;)  Time certainly flies after having a baby.  I can't believe our little man is 6 months old!  

He's celebrated his first Christmas and New Year's. 

Other than having the baby, H and I didn't manage to do much this year.  We went to my family reunion over Labor Day Weekend.  I did start school in October, and will finish the beginning of June.  Hopefully 2011 will bring us more adventures and even more fun with our little man!! 

I'm a huge reader.  I managed to finish reading 168 books this past year.  Not quite as good as 2009 (195), but pretty dang good for having a brand new baby for half the year. 

Choosing just 10 may be hard, but I'll do my best!
