Since December of 2009, we have been ringing in the New Year by counting down the days with the best recipes of the year.  You can view past years here: Countdown to 2010, Countdown to 2011, Countdown to 2012, and Countdown to 2013

This year, I have a few partners who will be a part of the Countdown:

Cheap Recipe Blog - Cooking Cheaply. Eating Well.

FAQs

Q: Do I have to participate every day to countdown with you? 
A: No!  Join us when you can.  If you have more dessert recipes, but no breads, than just bring your desserts to the countdown. 

Q: Can I link up an individual recipe rather than a special countdown post?
A: Yes.  All we ask is that the recipe contain a link back to the countdown so that others can find all these yummy recipes of 2013. 

Q: Is there a limit to the number of recipes/posts I can link up? 
A. Link up as many recipes as you deem your favorites from 2013. 

Q: Will these recipes be on Pinterest too?
A: Yes!  We have a Pinterest board all set up for the Countdown!!  Be sure to follow us so you don’t miss any wonderful recipes. 

Q: Can I participate even if I don’t have a blog?
A: Yes you can.  There are two easy ways: (1) Leave your best recipe(s) in the comments of the blog for that particular day, or (2) Leave your recipes on our Facebook Page

We do hope you will join us for the Countdown to 2014!  Let us know if you are planning to participate by leaving a note in the comments.
