January 2014: A Review

Somehow January has come and gone, which means it’s time for my monthly review!  Since I never got around to writing a review for December I’m including 5 recipes from December that I really loved too (are you happy now An?).  So here you have it ladies and gentlemen, my top recipes and my favorite links from January (and December).

My Top 3 Most Viewed Posts of the Month:

1. Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies – Super simple, yet amazingly delicious, soft, moist cookies 
2. Chicken Bacon Ranch Macaroni and Cheese – How could you not want to make this? 
3. Sweet Potato Fries with Greek Yogurt-Sour Cream Dipping Sauce – This recipe is continuously one of my most viewed, if you haven’t made them yet I’m not sure what you’re waiting for!
