Looking at all that food is rough. Especially for someone who loves food as much as this girl does.
Finding new and delicious recipes became an addiction. Almost every night I would leave work, head straight to the store and spend a ridiculous amount of money to try and replicate something that I saw on someone's blog to impress my new beau (and appease my slight obsession with food). For some reason nothing I made ever turned out looking remotely like the gorgeous photos that graced the interweb. Oh well. Everything tasted good and I have never made the same meal twice in almost a year.
Here are my top 5 successful recipes that have graced Eater's Digest in 2010
5. Balsamic Watermelon Skewers - technically I didn't make these but a friend of mine did. They were amazing. You wouldn't think that Balsamic vinegar and watermelon would mix but with the addition of a little sugar and basil, it's the perfect combination.
4. Maple Bacon Cupcakes - The reaction you get from people when they see bacon on top of a cupcake will go one of two ways --- complete disgust or an overjoyed smile. There is never, ever anything in between.
3. Garlic Knots - Bread is an addiction for some. Toss is in butter and garlic and it's heavenly. These garlic knots inspired me to drive straight Whole Foods and pick a round of pre-made pizza dough and make my own because who really has time to wait around for dough to rise?
2. Jalapeno Poppers - These have been a huge hit with every single person that has had the opportunity to try these spicy appetizers. It's really a no brain-er, bacon wrap anything and it's going to be a hit.

1. Corn Soup with Butter Poached Lobster - What do you do with a harvest of backyard sweet corn? You make soup that take almost as long to make as it took to grow the corn. The 3 long hours it took to make this was well worth it and we are definiatly looking forward to 2011 harvest to make it again.
