  8. Wonderful choices -- especially considering I'm waiting for the sun to rise and starving. Happy New Year to you, Nicole. I hope 2012 is wildly fabulous for you :)

  10. I must try that Butternut Squash Hash with Mexican Chorizo and Eggs recipe. It sounds DELISH! I also can attest to how fabulous your Chipotle Bacon Deviled Eggs are... I made them and will never make plain deviled eggs again. I look forward to your posts in 2012!

  12. I've already raved about the cauliflower soup at the review page (although my comment doesn't show... maybe it's awaiting moderation?). I decided to make almost as soon as I saw it, and it's absolutely stunning. It's delicious, warming, hearty, it's got bacon, and it's everything I ever wanted in a soup. Thank you!

  13. I saw the photo of your skillet corn bread. I just made a whole-wheat skillet corn bread and love the crispy texture the skillet gives the bread. Have you tried any other breads in the skillet? I just received mine for Christmas and I have cooked so much in it, I don't know how I got along with out it before.All your recipes rock and your photographs are amazing!Cheers!

  14. Beautiful photos, Nicole! Your recipes have always been an inspiration for me. Is it just a coincidence that so many of your best recipes have either bacon, chipotle, or both? I could have picked them on those criteria:) This year I will definitely get on the sourdough wagon, but in the meantime I think those scones call my name!
