Favorite Recipes of 2009
Updated April 28, 2011
I can’t believe it is almost time to say goodbye to 2009. I always enjoy looking back-we had a busy year filled with fun, laughs, travels, work, hard times, the best of times, and of course tasty food:)
We did more than our fair share of cooking and baking. Here are a few of our favorite recipes from 2009.
Homemade Yogurt-making our own yogurt has saved us tons of money, plus it is delicious, healthy, and easy!
Apple Cinnamon Cookie Bars-these bars were featured on Saveur as “Best of the Web.” Try them and you will know why.
Pizza-we love making homemade pizza. Try our whole wheat crust-you make it in the food processor and it only rises for 20 minutes. We also fell in love with grilling our pizzas. In the fall, we created a roasted butternut squash pizza with rosemary and carmalized onions-another winner!
Cookies-it is hard to choose just one cookie since I created several favorites this past year. The S’mores, Flourless Peanut Butter, and Chocolate Toffee cookies were probably the most popular. My personal favorite are the oatmeal cookies with cinnamon roasted almonds, cocoa nibs, and dark chocolate.
Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day-we learned a new bread baking method thanks to Zoe and Jeff. We can’t praise Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day enough. We made lots of crusty loaves of bread, pizza crusts, and we are now enjoying their healthy breads.
Buffalo Hot Wings-I asked Josh what his favorite recipe was from 2009 and he immediately answered-HOT WINGS! Make these for your New Years party or any game day!
I better stop there, I have too many favorites:) We had a great time in the kitchen in 2009. Do you have a favorite recipe from our blog? Please share!

Happy New Year everyone. We hope you will continue following Two Peas and Their Pod in 2010. We are excited for the New Year and are grateful for all of you!
Happy New Year! It’s surprising to see how fast everything has flown by… sweet memories and sweet treats for all 🙂 Finish it out with a bang, and lets make 2010 an awesome one.
I’m still trying to master my pizza crust!
Happy New Year!!

Everything looks so good! But especially the hot wings. Been craving those. Here’s to another great year!
You two rock! I love SO many of your recipes. I think my favorite recipe of yours is the key lime pie bars…just fabulous and so easy. All of your cookie recipes are yummy too. I will have to give the apple bars a go
Yum! I love your Oatmeal and Raisin cookie… but with Chocolate Chips instead! The spices in that mingle well with the chocolate. Hubby loves them!
Looks like a delicious year! I was surprised to see fried hot wings. I don’t know how I missed them the first time! Happy New Year!
Thanks everyone!
Barbara-Josh chose the hot wings, not me. I don’t do meat or fried:)
