Hi Erin! Yum! Everything looks so very good…especially those boyfriend brownies. I can see why they were the most popular. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Monet!!!! They are definitely a crowd pleaser :-) HAPPY NEW YEAR!
What a beautiful round up to 2013 Erin!! I’ve loved everything you’ve cooked this year but yep, I completely understand the boyfriend brownie obsession. But you know what? More than the food (if that’s possible) I love the way you write, the way you add humour into your posts that makes me almost guffaw my cornflakes out of my mouth. I love the way you’re a wonderful blogging friend to all of us… you take time to answer comments and to visit other people. Thanks for sharing your blogging talent and love of food with us this year. May 2014 be an even better year for you and Ben (and may he escape the law books eventually!!). Hugs, happy new year beautiful! xxx
Laura, thank you so, so much! You are so sweet and kind, and I’m so happy to have “met” you this year. Sending big hugs across the Pacific, and wishing you a bright, happy 2014!
Great round up Erin, these dishes all look incredible! So glad to have found you just in time earlier this month too and would definitely love to try the banana cake, chicken stir fry and apple cake – pinning. Can’t wait to follow along next year and see more tasty recipes :) All the best to you and Ben in 2014 and Happy New Year!
