The Best of Spicie Foodie: 2011 Edition

December 20, 2011 by Nancy Lopez-McHugh

Last year I wrote a small post titled “The Best of Spicie Foodie 2010” inspired by the special year-end YBR roundup. Again I find myself unsure if I will pick a recipe from December or one from a previous month for this special YBR edition. I just can’t decide. In a way that post from last year was one of my favorite posts from 2010. A favorite because it was a way of reviewing what we ate and what I blogged about. But also a way of seeing growth in recipes, photography, and both taste and seasonal choices. I think I’ll make this a yearly tradition for as long as Spicie Foodie is online. So incase you missed any of here are “The Best Recipes of Spicie Foodie 2011”!
