It's officially been one year ago today since I started Macaroni & Cheesecake. (You can read my first post and the explanation for the name behind the blog here) I want to start off by thanking all of you that read my little blog. You all are so kind, encouraging and thoughtful with all of your comments. It is such an honor that you take the time to visit and read my blog. I started this as a creative outlet, and it has quickly become a passion for me. I just love getting in the kitchen and often find myself baking something just so I can share it with you all (and sample it of course)!
So, to re-cap this year I decided to share my top five favorite recipes from this past year, which was super hard to decide on, but here they are.
Bow-Tie Pasta with Creamy Mushroom Sauce
And because I just love dessert and cookies so much, I picked one more.
Also, to commemorate this grand event and especially thank you for reading, I've decided to give away two of my favorite kitchen gadgets. I use my cookie scoop and silicone mat all the time and I want one of you to be able to enjoy these gadgets as well.
A Oxo Good Grips Cookie Scoop
& a Wilton Easy Flex Silicone 10-Inch by 15-Inch Mat
To enter leave a comment below with your favorite kind of cookie by midnight on Thursday, July 2nd. I will announce the winner on Friday.
