Best of 2014

ByJaren Updated on

I started this blog back in January 2013 right after I stopped teaching.  I always loved sharing recipes with friends and family, and I thought it would be really cool to create an online collection of everything  I like to make.  Over the course of 2014, I’ve really taken time to make my blog grow.  It has really become something I am very passionate about, and I love sharing with all of you.

4.  Mini Cherry Cheesecake Trifles
You guys have great taste because these little mini trifles are oh so good!  I make them in mini glasses when I have time and to make them a little more special, but this can also be done in a 13 x 9 dish for a gathering.

3.  Grilled Chicken & Bacon Pizza with a Garlic Cream Sauce
This pizza is so delicious!!  It is such a nice change to traditional pizza.  The garlic cream sauce is so worth it!  Check this post out also if you want a look at our first Disneyworld trip from the summer.

2.  Layered Salad
This is a favorite side dish in our family.  It is so easy and is best made the night before which helps cut back on the to-do list on busy days.

1.  Cabbage Casserole
So this little family recipe right here has completely taken my blog to the next level.  I would have never thought that a cabbage recipe would be loved by so many people.  Apparently, it is a dish that many of you grew up on too.  It has grown my blog by leaps and bounds since August.  Plus readers have left me so many comments on how they have added their own personal touches to it too.  They have some really wonderful ideas.

I look forward to sharing many more recipes with you guys in 2015!
