As I was getting my blog post ready for today, I realized instead of writing a regular post, I need to start writing my year-end roundups. For some reason it completely slipped my mind that New Years is this weekend and 2011 is just about over. I feel like it was just a few months ago that I was doing my Favorite Food Snaps of 2010 and here I am again. How quickly the time speeds by!
2011 was filled with food. And I love doing posts of all of my favorite photos from the year because, not only are they fun to look at, but I have a better understanding of why I needed to buy the next size up when I bought pants last month.
Here’s why:
Plenty of hearty brunches and loads of eggs. Yum!
LOTS of sweets:
(Milky Way Smores Granola Bars)
(Homemade Baked Glazed Doughnuts)
(Carrot Cake from Treats Bakery for my sister’s 30th birthday)
(Blueberry, Lemon, White Chocolate Chunk Cookies. My favorite cookie of the year!)
(Turned into an ice cream sandwich!)
(Key Lime Pie for my dad’s birthday)
(MIni Peach and Raspberry Pies. A happy accident)
(With caramel filling!)
(Momofuku Milk Bar’s Cornflake Chip Marshmallow Cookies)
Summer Foods:
Snacks, Cheeses, Meats, oh my!
Don’t even get me started on the fried pickles. 2011 was the year I discovered this lil’ heavenly snack and life will never be the same 
(Garlic and Herb Sweet Potato Fries)
(Fried plantains from my sister and brother-in-law)
(Spinach, Onion, and Bacon Dip with Garlic Toasts)
The foods that somehow managed to appear in my dreams at night:
(Chipotle-Rubbed Grilled Salmon Tacos with Apple-Cucumber Salsa)
(My Bristol Lounge burger with garlic mayo, mushrooms, bacon, Swiss cheese, lettuce, and tomato)
(The broccoli rabe, olives, and anchovy pasta Tom Colicchio served us)
(Turkey Meatballs Stuffed with Brie)
(Open-Faced Prosciutto and Plum Sandwiches)
(Turkey White Bean Pumpkin Chili)
And every memory made at Butterball University is always a favorite. Clearly. Check out the mug below:
What a wonderful and drool-worthy year this has been! Stay tuned for my favorite {regular} photos of 2011 post on Friday!
