2. "Baked Ziti"

This is the first home-cooked meal I've ever made for my in-laws during one of their visits into town. Although it did take a while to prep, I think everyone was incredibly satisfied at the end of it. Well worth the wait, according to everyone, including myself!

1. "Blogilates: My Year Review"

I'm actually really excited, yet not surprised this made the list. When I shared this post on Twitter, the founder of POP Pilates, Cassey Ho, retweeted to her thousands of followers & tweeted me back. Because of her support, this post brought in tons of new traffic to my site. For those who are looking for a free, fun, and truly body transforming workout for the new year, you definitely want to read this.
