Even though I generally want to look forwards rather of backwards, it seems that a top ten list for 2009 recipes is needed, nay, REQUIRED, to be considered a true food blogger… wouldn’t you say?

So, here’s what you “voted” (determined by total hits per recipe) for the Top Ten Kitchenette Posts of 2009.

I have to say, one of the highlights of 2009 for me was starting this blog. I started the blog just to have something share with the world, and I love getting comments from people. Getting comments on the blog is one of the highlights of my day, honestly. I”ve been known to let a “squee” fly when I get an email on my Crackberry saying that I got a new comment (and Mr. Kitchenette has been known to look at me like I have a third eye when said squee-fest happens.)

I’ve shared a lot of fun recipes in 2009, but I’m really looking forward to 2010. I’ve got some fun goals for the year, including:

  • Baking bread from scratch (a carry-over goal from the start of the blog in May, so I’ve still got 4 months to do this one)
  • Learning to hot-water-bath can jams, pickles, and preserves (check; I’m participating in the Can Jam)
  • Eat more locally and organically, and from our own garden (in process;
  • and personally, taking more pictures of me, Mr. Kitchenette, and our life together (check; Project365 in progress)

So, here’s to lots more exciting stories and recipes to come in 2010! Thanks for stopping by the Kitchenette and I hope your new year is filled with happiness and excitement!
