I recently saw the idea for this post over at one of my favorite blogs How Sweet Eats & I thought it was brilliant. We all tend to love “Top Ten’s – Re-Caps & Best of” lists. Here are the top 10 recipes that you guys viewed here at MarlaMeridith.com this year. Have you tried any of them? If not what would be your first choice?
10-Cranberry Pumpkin Ricotta CookiesBreakfast, snack time, brunch, pre or post workout – here is your cookie!
9- Green Beans with Leeks and Feta You guys were big fans of these healthy veggies with cheese.
8- Maple Oatmeal Apple Pie Bars A sweet treat for anytime filled with flavor & great for you ingredients.
7- Crispy Crunchy Roasted ChickpeasSeason this crunchy snack however you like!
6- Bacon & Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms An appetizer for Share Our Strength virtual dinner party & for everyday.
5- Sweet Potato, Bacon & Pomegrante Spinach Salad A medley of sweet, smoky & savory with your veggies.
4- Lemonade Cucumber Spa PopsiclesGreat for healthy New Year’s Resolutions, island vacations & summertime treats.
3- Thanksgiving Monte Cristo Don’t save this sandwich for just once a year!
2- Grilled Cheese Bruschetta Delicious for snacks, lunch & dinner.
1- Peppermint Candy Cane Marshmallows The most viewed post in the shortest amount of time! These marshmallows make for fun festive gifts or for adding to your steamy mug of Hot Chocolate. I think they would be fun in s’mores too.
You are such a well rounded and creative chef my dear… I
am so inspired by all you do!!! Have a Merry Christmas!

Amanda: Coming from you I take that as the highest compliment. Now if we could just convince my kids the same thing when they are in grumpy moods 😉

Not surprised those beautiful marshmallows are number 1! They look incredible!
I love “best of” lists…especially on blogs that I already consider to be some of the best! What a great list. I still need to try that sweet potato salad! It just made my stomach growl.
wow, can you believe it’s over? what a fast year, seems like we were just at the fair judging salsa? happy new year marla, best wishes to you and your family!
I hope you and yours had a fantastic Christmas, Marla! Love this round-up…so many of these were my favorites throughout the year…I remember seeing those spa pops and thinking how brilliant you are! XO
Faith: You & I have been online buddies since the beginning. You are always so kind & thoughtful. One day we need to cook up a storm together – would we have fun or what!
Louise: I will always remember meeting you at the OC Fair. Judging the salsa competition was a blast. I hope to join you guys again next year. I am sure we will catch up for real at many fun events around the OC & beyond 🙂
Joanne: Thanks for that sweet compliment! I think you would really like that sweet potato salad.
Great idea, the perfect way to wind up a year of
blogging.
Love the round up! Those spa pops are on my list this summer. 🙂
Fantastic recap, Marla!

Valerie: You crack me up! I tend to go one the HUGE side when it comes to my photos. Massive indeed. I am cooking up something right now for New Years Eve that I know you will love!! Can’t wait to see what you will be cooking up for us in 2011 too. Thanks so much for being a great friend & always leaving thought provoking, honest & sweet comments.
Thanks for this Best of 2010 post. It’s hard to pick a favorite from such a great list but lemonade cucumber spa popsicles are near to top.
