    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 :)

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!
