This year was cray cray. In a Miley-Cyrus-on-the-VMAs-kind-of-way.
In a getting-proposed-to-after-the-worst-marathon-of-your-life-thereby-making-it-the-best-marathon-of-your-life-kind-of-way.
In a one-of-my-lab-experiments-might-have-actually-worked-kind-of-way.
Exactly. Cray cray.
I just want to take a moment to thank you all for helping to make this one of the best years to date for Eats Well With Others. I was presented with a ton of great opportunities over the past 365 days, from winning a recipe contest at Eat.Write.Retreat, to taking part in a super fun freelance photography project for the McCormick Spice website, to making the switch from Blogger to WordPress and getting a fabulous redesign with the help of the girls from Wooden Spoons Kitchen, and so much more. When I created this little space on the internet five years ago, I couldn’t have imagined that it would even be a fraction of what it is today, or what a huge part of my life it would be and even now I still feel (and hope!) that it’s only the beginning. I’m excited to see what great things 2014 will bring and I hope that you’ll be following along with me as I do. It just won’t be as fun without you there and I seriously couldn’t have done any of this without you. Happy New Year! Let’s make it a good one.
I always like to kick off the new year by showcasing my favorite recipes of the past year, so this year I decided to pick a favorite sweet and a savory recipe from each month. In chronological order, here they are!

Vegetable Eggs Benedict – Eggs were predicted to be super cool in 2013 (and will continue to be totally rad in 2014…you heard it here first) so we learned how to poach them! And benedict them, veggie style.
