Blogging is weird.
You just can't tell what people are going to like.
Yeah, sure, some things are obvious like cookies and martinis.
But sometimes, something I just love, love, love, doesn't get the attention it deserves.
These are MY favorite things I made in 2013, not necessarily popular posts, just the ones that I like the most and I will make again and again.
Sure, this list is to give you another chance to see them, and like them too, but frankly, this is a list for me to remember my favorites.
Above, is a favorite from a trip to Rome this Spring,
Cacio e Pepe, Cheese & Pepper Pasta, a simple 4 ingredient dish. I made this dish 3 times in 2 weeks, and still wanted more.
In a nutshell, my Top 10 break out in the following:
1 appetizer
2 soups
2 burgers!
1 pasta
1 side dish
1 entree
1 cookie
1 martini
In no particular order, they are:

Chicken with Apricots and Olives
Salty, tangy, sweet and spicy. Just about everything I like.
Clementine Cranberry Martini
This should be a year round martini, not just for the holidays. Just make up a new name... Cupid's Arrow, Bunny Hop Hop Hop, Skyrockets in Flight.... stop me, I could go on & on.
Zuppa Toscana
I like this very spicy, but you can do what you like. Use Kale or spinach, but give it some green.
Scottish Shortbread
It took me decades to find a shortbread recipe that passed my spoiled Scottish standards.
French Green Lentils with Tomatoes and Onions
Ugly food for sure, but very delicious and easy to make. Can I mention "good for you" too?
Creamy Artichoke Soup
This one took about 10 minutes, and was a light, tangy and delicious.
Chilled Prawns with Cilantro Sauce
I can't get enough cilantro, and this sauce can be used for SO MANY things.
Chipotle Corn Turkey Burgers
A terrible picture, but a delicious flavorful burger
