Happy New Years Eve! I can’t believe tomorrow is 2014! Where has time gone?

Yesterday I shared the Top 10 Most Popular Recipes on Jkawe in 2013. Today I wanted to share with you my Top 10 Favorite Recipes of the year on Jkawe. It was a hard choice because I have so many favorites but I narrowed it down. These recipes are ones I hold near and dear to my heart for one reason or another—family recipe, reminds me of my childhood, or is something I have on my regular rotation of recipes that I make.

10. Kibbeh Meatballs with a Spiced Yogurt Sauce: Kibbeh is a Lebanese favorite that my family eats and I really loved how these meatballs turned out. They were a little bit crispy on the outside and with the spiced yogurt sauce gave them a great kick.

9. How to Make Homemade Granola: We eat a lot of granola in our house and I really like being able to control what is in it and make different varieties depending on the time of year and our tastes. Homemade granola is not time intensive and you can keep a canister of it around for snacks, breakfast or to add into recipes like granola bars.
