Best of 2011

New Years is always a bittersweet time for me. I get really excited about the idea of a new beginning but I also feel sad about leaving another year behind. Sometimes it feels like I didn't accomplish enough which I have to remember isn't true!

To celebrate this year let's take a look back at my top three most popular posts!

#3

Cookies of Awesome

I wasn't expecting this cookie recipe to be popular but I guess they lived up to their name!

#2

Coconut Cream Pie Pancakes

A vegan breakfast that tastes like dessert!

Gluten Free Baked Banana Doughnuts

Hands down the best doughnuts ever. I am actually imagining how they tasted right now. So good!

As you might know, earlier this year I made the resolution to eat vegan once a week. I am proud to say that I have stuck through that! I wasn't always vegan of Fridays, there might have been two weeks where I was vegan on Thursday. I learned a lot about the different types of animal products that go into foods and about how my own body responds to certain foods.

I will not become a full time vegan yet but I am going to try and avoid dairy and eat other animal products only occasionally. One thing that I am having difficulty with is  that sometimes I overindulge in things high in white flour, sugar, and fat. I'm not sure if this has to do with eating vegan or some other reason. My goal is to improve on this because sugar makes me tired!

I hope all of you had a great 2011 and will have an even better 2012!

Do you have any New Year Resolutions?
