Previous Months Recaps
What did you make or do in March that was memorable?
I made quite a few things with both strawberries and bananas separately, and then I combined them.
Most memorable recipe of the month are these bars. Also my favorite dessert of 2012 to date.
And this is a close second.
Fanciest meal ever to hit my blog is the Chilean Sea Bass.
Most surprising number of views on FoodGawker was this. I better come up with a homemade version, pronto, as it seems people want it.
Most memorable two days I’ve had in ages was this one and this one. They recharged my batteries, inspired me, helped me connect with others who share my same passions, and were just awesome. I loved them
What’s on your to-make or to-do list?
Thanks for the Lemon and Orange NuNaturals Stevia Giveaway entries and have a great weekend!
Oh my gosh! Your pictures are so lovely… So lovely! Everything looks delicious, but my favorite is the fig butter tempeh. Like the new blog name too!
Thanks for all the compliments!
I love how colorfull and creative all of your recipes are!
Hmm, memorable March…well for my blogging I’d say it was doing a waffle week: https://scrumptiousgruel.wordpress.com/2012/03/11/gateway-waffle-week/
With the most genius waffle-egg invention:)
For life Match was memorable cause I booked more jobs than I had in the last several months. Never rains but pours!
Wow, your waffles look…AWESOME. I have a brand new waffle iron that I need to break in!
Yea, new iron! You’ll have to tell me how you like the brand you got, I’m thinking I’ll be needing a new one at some point…
Congrats on an amazing month! Thanks for the recap–of course I’d noticed your blog’s name change, but hadn’t seen the announcement, so it was good to catch up.
I’ve been loving my snow-spirulina smoothies lately, just as the snow finally starts to recede!
It kind of went in phases, the name, the logo, the new URL…it was a month-long project, and then some :)
LOVING all of March’s recipes Averie! i cannot get over that chocolate drizzled banana smiley. could there be anything cuter on a plate?!
my march was VERY memorable for my blog. first time i made it onto food gawker! i also signed on with Zesty Blog Consulting (used you as a reference!!) who is now working behind the scenes on a new design for SBA. i also bought LR 4 (another recommendation from you!) and won 3 amazing baking emulsions from your giveaway that i already used once this weekend. can’t wait to blog about them! thanks for everything Averie :)
Wow, I think you’re my biggest fan :)
Zesty is great.
LR4…considering you never used LR3 you probably can’t tell me anything of how it differs but I’d love to hear your feedback!
And those emulsions…I have been loving them too!
Such gorgeous pictures…seriously looks like professional restaurant food!
I can’t get over that oreo stuff brownie. That had to be incredible.
Aww, thank you so much for the compliments!
Too many beautiful photos, I literally cannot pick a favorite.
I love your food photos!!
thanks so much!
Love the re-cap–it helps remind me of recipes I didn’t get around to trying yet. I actually found sea bass so that is on my to make list this weekend. Will let you know how it turns out! I’ve been spring cleaning (and thinning out) my closet. Feels good to get everything re-organized for a new season!
yes please do! Can’t wait to hear about it!
Great recap! I still smile seeing that banana smile. Such a fun afternoon snack idea.
wow – march a very busy [and delicious looking] month for you! I’m loving your variety!
Great list, March was a busy month for you! March was memorable for a few recipes for me including my first gnocchi attempt. And attending the Fresh & Easy event, but not a horribly exciting month overall.
I loved your chilean sea bass recipe. It was a fun switch up from the sweets and it looked so.damn.good! When I look back on what gets the most views on FG, I’m baffled sometimes. Like your pizza, so weird and confusing right? It’s definitely a pretty picture, but it’s just pizza! haha. The internet is a strange, strange place…
I thought of you when I was typing this based on that post of yours a couple weeks ago!
does that babycakes cupcaker maker work well? I’ve seem those for cupcakes, donuts, etc and have been debating on buying one. But then I’d have to justify my purchase and make even more baked goods!
Yes it does and I have some posts lined up for the future I plan to do…It’s a 20 dollar item, give or take, which I consider in the “cheap thrills” category so if you think you can get 20 bucks of entertainment and fun from it, yes, it for sure works. And if not, good ole muffin pans or donut pans work, too. :)
wow what a great month for you! love reflecting back, it makes you appreciate everything a little more and see all you accomplished.
I think so far the grilled kale from the other day has been the highlight. You made some seriously awesome looking dishes I must say. I really need the strawberry banana bread though!
thanks, Heather!
That pizza looks to die for and perfectly photographed. Homemade version welcome :)
