2010 was a year with some awesome eating! I ate, I tested recipes, and I ate some more. This past year showed me that the sky is the limit when adapting recipes to be free of animal products.

Mmm, I’m hungry.
Eric and I were supposed to go to a costume party tonight, but Eric is sick with a terrible flu so it looks like I will be nursing him back to health tonight. I may have to feed him a Green Monster or two! Poor guy, he is in rough shape.
I hope you have a great New Year’s Eve! I’m going to get all motherly on you and tell you to be safe and plan ahead for a DD! I want you all back in one piece tomorrow.
Coming up, a delicious New Year’s meal to kick off 2011….it’s in my belly right now and it is wonderful. Mmm.

Happy New Year’s Angela :)
Gorgeous photos, you are very talented! Happy New Years to you!
Happy New Year’s Eve :) This post reminds me that I still haven’t made that breakfast pizza… hmmm, maybe a good first breakfast of the New Year!
Thank you so much for this wrap up! You always have so many great recipes I want to make but I never know where to start! This should help :)
Oh, Angela! Thank you for showing me the light (a.k.a. vegan overnight oats) this year. They really have changed my life. Also, being mostly vegan, you’ve proved that there are endless options for an animal-product-free lifestyle. :)
Aww poor Eric! GMs have definitely been an immune system-saver for me this winter. Out of all those recipes, I think the soft ginger cookies and pumpkin gingerbread with spiced buttercream were my faves! Happy New Year Ange, and all the best for 2011. Can’t wait to see what you accomplish – you’ve blown me away this year!
Our plans are being smashed with my being sick as well. Those recipes look amazing! You have had such a great year Angela!
All I can say is: when is the restaurant opening??! This food all looks incredible! Happy New Year:)
I am recently vegan (after a few years of toying with the idea). I’ll be making a lot of your recipes over the next few weeks. So far, I haven’t made one I didn’t love.
Hope Eric feels better! My Dh is sick too…it is really hitting him hard!
I’m always inspired by your creative, delicious recipes & the pictures of them! It’s really easy to eat vegan & vegetarian with your recipes.
It’s nearly impossible to choose. I could never pick one. You have incredible recipes, Ange!
…..aaaaaaaand now I’m starving :) Adding several of these to my favorites list for experimenting in 2011. Happy New Year to you and good luck with your patient!
I’ll take an order of those homemade salt and vinegar chips, please!
love,
cathy b. @ brightbakes
i made your vegan gingerbread cake 3x! But I used a mixture of brown rice, coconut, and potatoe starch to make it gluten free, and it turned out wonderful!
nice!!
Your peanut butter cookies should be on this list because HOLY COW are they amazing! I made them for Christmas (though I had to sub 1 cup for garbanzo flour because I ran out of spelt flout) and they were a huge hit! They were the most incredibly moist and delicious pb cookie I’ve ever had!
Have a Happy New Year!
haha thanks! Good to know they work with G flour
mmmmmm, lovely recap… I need some lunch. NOW! ;)
Mmmm… everything looks so delicious. I already know what I’ll be eating all next week!
All of these recipes are AHH-MAY-ZING! I want to make each and every one.
Hope Eric feels better soon!
Have a happy & healthy New Year :)
Happy New Year!
I made both the Pumpkin Gingerbread with Spiced Buttercream and the Pumpkin Pie Brownie this year and they were both delicious! I’m so glad I found your blog. :)
Happy New Year! Hope Eric is feeling better soon, thats too bad. Take good care of him.
All that food has made me extremely hungry, you should have put up a warning first to eat before reading this post haha
The garlic pumpkin knots are my favorite! Wait, the breakfast pizza looks pretty fantastic too… and so does the carrot cake oatmeal… I love all of them!!
Happy New Year to you all! I hope Eric feels better soon!
I’ve made that gingerbread recipe about 5 times and everybody loves it!
You are SO talented and creative Angela! Can’t wait for your recipe book! :D Also can’t wait for all your 2011 recipes!!
I love the idea of your breakfast pizza. I’m wondering if you could try doing it with an oatmeal crust instead?
im not sure, it might be worth a try!
Ohhhh this is such food porn. I have to say that the pumpkin pecan brownie pie might be my favorite recipe of 2010- I’ve made it three times and LOVE it!!
my favorite recipe from teh blog world this year was YOUR!!! Pumpkin Gingerbread with the Spiced buttercream! WE LOVE IT!
Wow, Angela…some of these recipes feel like I read them a lifetime ago (thanks for the yummy reminders!) b/c they were earlier in 2010…where did time go…it FLEW by for me!
Thanks for posting what YOU think is/was your best recipes and efforts. I have no idea how you even choose?! You have SUCH an arsenal of amazing food, recipes, and posts…truly I could never pick just 10 things :)

Aw, hope your husband feels better! Now, can you come and be my personal chef? Your food looks so amazing!
Those garlic knots….they look out of this world good. Must be the shiny, buttery coating on them, huh? :)
The Peanut Butter, Jam, and Banana Breakfast Pizza looks amazing. That’s definitely something I’ll have to try next year, long with the carrot cake cookies! YUM!
It’s been a wonderful food year! Thanks for sharing with us. I appreciate your dedication to your blog and all the hard work that goes into it.
Just made the balsamic dressing and it was delicious! Also last week I made the blondies (with some adjustments to be gluten-free) and they were amazing!
