Top 5 Favorite Recipes of 2011

I thought I would organize a little countdown of my favorite recipes from this blog this year - granted, I started this blog in August so it's really just half a year, but when I went through all the recipes I tried, I was surprised that these were the ones I deem the yearly best!  You'll be surprised - they aren't all sweets!! :)  But the ones that aren't sweets have cheese, so I guess that's my vice.  Good thing my new year's resolution is not to cut back on cheese :)

So, no need to wait any longer, my top 5 goes like this...

5.  Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas

A family favorite, these are easy, yummy & everyone will eat them - bonus!!


4.  Baked Penne with Italian Sausage Tomato Sauce

I just loved the flavor of this recipe.  I had never tried italian sausage in my tomato sauce before this recipe - and now I'm hooked!


3.  White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies

These need no explanation!!  Go to the store.  Get the ingredients.  Make these now!!  You. will. not. regret. it!!


2.  King Ranch Chicken

Just looking at this picture makes me want to stick a fork in my computer.  We will be having this again next week, I do believe.  Insanely good, especially for all you Texas friends who are King Ranch Chicken Enthusiasts.

1.  Texas Peach Cobbler

I picked this as number one bc it combines several favorites:  the Cream Biscuits for the topping, the sweet fruit, but not too sweet, and Blue Bell Ice Cream (a staple in our house).  My husband said it was like an old fashioned cobbler, not too sweet.  I have to say, that's how I like 'em!  This picture also reminds me that I need to try some other cobblers with this recipe - maybe some sort of berry??  Or...??  


So, tell me Cowtown Friends, what recipes are on your top 5?  


Happy New Year, Everyone!!!
