Finding Joy in My Kitchen: Countdown with us to 2012!

With Christmas just a week away, that means 2012 will be here in just two weeks! One of the things I most look forward to about the end of the year, is the chance to look back through the recipes Frog Prince and I made in our kitchen this year, and pick out our favorites.

In 2009 and 2010 I shared with you these best picks of the year during the week between Christmas & New Years. This year, I have some of my favorite bloggers joining in with the countdown to 2012:

Laura from Real Mom Kitchen

Reeni from Cinnamon Girl Recipes

Jackie from Loving My Domestic Life

Lynn from Lynn’s Kitchen Adventure
and, Lynn’s Recipes Adventures

And, Jenna from the Newlywed’s Blog
