It is always fun to look back on the year of spabettie, and today I am rounding up the top recipes – both reader favorites and favorites in our house.
The homemade Twinkies? I made those early in the year, after the first Hostess bankruptcy scare. The sushi sliders and the plant based steak dinner? Two of my favorite things ever. A kale chiffonade salad was big around here this year, and the chipotle potato burritos were one of the recipes my readers made often.
Along with the salted caramel milkshake up there, and my homemade Bailey’s recipe below – very popular with… well, everyone.
tempeh edamame salad rolls with ginger peanut sauce
double rich chocolate protein cookies
chipotle potato burrito with chipotle mayo
lemon avocado massaged kale salad
double chocolate cherry ice cream
Thank you all for reading and connecting this year, I love our conversations!

Even though I haven’t tried any of these–still waiting for your delivery service–I love it! And I love that when I’m on another site like Finding Vegan, for example, I can totally pick your pictures out of everyone else’s.
You are extremely talented, my friend, and I look forward to reading more in 2013
hee – that’s good to know! I’ve had others tell me that as well – they know my photos. I guess that’s a good thing?
it has been so nice getting to know you even more this year – I look forward to more fun conversation in the new year – a better year all around, for all of us! XXO happy new year!
You are easily the most creative (and fun) blogger out there! kudos to you! Looking forward to way more exciting recipes in 2013!! I’m off to check out the salted caramel milkshake!
aw, thanks so much, Jess – that makes me smile so big! happy 2013 to you guys – it’s going to be another big and exciting one for you, for sure!
I, like Abby, have not tried any of these (even though) they feature in my dreams. I WAS going to do the Bailey’s for xmas but the whisky had mysteriously done a runner before I got to it. Harumph and now it’s time to do a cleanse. I wonder if milkshakes and ice cream and all those other goodies would perform the same function?
Have the BESTEST New Year and thanks for all the lovely, imaginative yumminess you share and all the happiness you spread along with it.
haa – a milkshake cleanse! someone oughta make one
and thank YOU so much for reading – I wish you a fantastic new year as well – cheers!
I love ALL your recipes, but thank you for reminding me of some of these…I can’t believe I STILL haven’t made the cauli-steak yet! And then I totally forgot about the sushi sliders…I need those in my life! Well…that is once I get come out the other side of my post-christmas detox that is! Ugh, I want my appetite back!
It’s been a great year hasn’t it? Can’t wait to see what 2013 brings! Happy (early) new year friend!
