I say this every year, but I cannot believe how fast this year has gone by. It was a big year for me which included me packing up and moving from Los Angeles to Chicago. It was a great decision and I am having the time of my life meeting new people and exploring an amazing city. Even though I don't cook quite as often as I used to, there have been some delicious things that have come out of my tiny kitchen in the last year. Here are a few of my favorites.
Serious Eats' take on Halal Cart-Style Chicken and Rice is packed with flavor and a great way to have street food at home.
Cookies and Cream Brownies were such a hit at my friend's Super Bowl party that I made them again a few weeks later for the super cute couple that I cooked for for Valentine's day.
One of the last things I cooked in LA was this insanely addictive Chipotle-Garlic Edamame.
Greek Nachos quickly became my favorite summer meal.
Funfetti Cake was a fun way to celebrate my sister's 30th birthday.
The holidays were definitely merrier with cranberry mojitos.
I really can't stop thinking about these peppermint slutty brownies. I may have to make them again for New Year's Eve.
I'm in California for the week visiting with my mom (!) and sister and relaxing. I hope that however you spend the holidays, you are having a great time with people you love.

Hope you have a great time in CA, Esi! I MUST make Greek nachos this year... AND Funfetti cake. Great roundup!
Mmmm...Greek nachos sound delicious.
How did I miss the slutty brownies post??? Though not what I need to be eating right now. Or for the next month. Oof. Blood is like butter at the moment.
What a delightful roundup! Happy holidays, Esi! Enjoy CA!
Those Greek nachos look so great, and I'm planning to make the cranberry mojitos this weekend. Can't wait. Happy early New Year!
