2007 was a big year for Coconut & Lime. I averaged almost 5 original recipes a week. That's a lot of cooking! It was hard to chose, but here are a list of my favorite recipes for the past year, one for each month. Click on the month to see what else I made during those 30 days.
January:
Cuba Libre Cupcakes. This isn't just one of my favorite recipes that I've created ever, it is one of the most popular on the blog.
February:
Kiwi Freezer Jam. My first jam. Super easy, tasty and not too sweet.
March:
I celebrated Purim with some vegan hamantaschen. One of those "I can't believe it's vegan" recipes.
April:
Mango Chicken. I am especially proud of this recipe. I tried to duplicate a dish I had in a restaurant and I think I made it even better, just going on instinct.
May:
Dark Chocolate Goji Berry Ice Cream. Vosges inspired and so very tasty.
June:
Blueberry Ginger Ice Box Pie. So pretty and fresh and it didn't heat up the house.
July:
Smearcase. Recreating a regional favorite just from sense memory was tricky but the results were perfect.
August:
Prickly Pear Sorbet . I just love prickly pears.
September:
Apple Rosemary Meatloaf. I was excited that this idea not only worked but was super tasty.
October:
Pumpkin Cheesecake Swirl Brownies. Another of the most popular recipes I posted this year. Also one of the recipes I get the most e-mails about. Just a hint: follow the directions! Mix both batters thoroughly and don't try and substitute a boxed mix for the chocolate part.
November:
Peppermint Mocha Cupcakes. Starbucks inspired. Also one of the first times I realized that I could create a recipe that yielded a reasonable amount of cupcakes for a family of two but that could also be easily doubled.
December:
Shrimp & Grits. I wish I had some right now.
