Perfecting the Pairing: Year Four in Review

Year Four in Review

What a year it has been! Since my Year Three in Review post I got engaged and married, gained a cute new roommate, and pretty much had the most incredible year ever. Admittedly, Perfecting the Pairing took a backseat to wedding planning and my husband, and the number of posts went way down. I still love this little blog and love getting new recipes posted. I am cooking all the time, now I just need to do the rest of it!

Thank you thank you thank you to all my readers and for all of the positive feedback, encouragement, and sweet comments. I said it last year, and I will say it again, I truly appreciate every single view this site gets.

Without further ado…

Top ten most viewed posts from year four

MY Perfect Pairing – There is no recipe here, but there is a really sweet story about my now husband surprising me with the most amazing proposal. Ahh! I love that man and I loved that proposal!

Impossibly Light Pineapple Whip – There are only three ingredients in this crazy delicious, healthy dessert. It was the perfect sweet treat during my pre-wedding diet! It is a dead ringer for the Dole Pineapple Whip from Disney World.

Spaghetti Squash Pizza Casserole – All the flavor of pizza, none of the guilt. This freezes well and is great to have on hand for a quick dinner.

#LamsInLove – Part 2 – Pretty much a recap of our wedding. Again, no recipe…. Man, I was slacking!

Sloppy Joe Dip – Not very pretty, but so so tasty. I find that men tend to love this one. Actually, everyone loves it.

Menu Post #1, Huli Huli Chicken – Remember last year when I said my goal was to have a new section all about menus? That was a cute idea. I did it twice. Ok, goal for year 5! This menu was repeated again multiple times this summer. It is a crowd pleaser every time!

Wheat Berry Chicken Salad – If you have not tried Wheat Berries, you are missing out!

#LamsInLove – The Wedding Favor/Escort Card at our wedding was handmade Sriracha Salt and Citrus Pepper. This post provides some recipes and tips on how to use it. I think the Sriracha Salt was everyone’s favorite!
