2012 roundup: recipes

is it time for a detox already?

a lot of food has been consumed this year. some of it good for you, some of it not even close. here's a (not so quick) recap of my favorite face stuffers from 2012:

juices

let's kick things off with a (completely false) healthy impression.

green juice: march 17th, nut milk: march 1st

bunny juice: march 5th, very veggie juice: november 25th

breakfast

breakfast for breakfast, breakfast for lunch, breakfast for dinner. breakfast forever.

french toast dunkers: april 14th, veggie fritatta: june 9th

smoked salmon tartine: february 18th, strawberry rhubarb muesli: may 16th

lunch

sometimes the most desperate meal of the day.

my favorite sammich: january 13th, asparagus, potato, leek soup with parmesan: april 26th

potato salad with smoked salmon: july 5th, brown rice onigiri: march 9th

appetizers

aps can be a meal when combined with cocktails. this logic has gotten me into trouble in the past.

fig crostini: september 26th, caprese eyeballs: october 24th

rainbow rolls: march 13th, smoked trout on sweet potato pancakes: march 29th

salads

again, with the misconception that i'm healthy.

grilled corn and asparagus: july 9th, warm kale salad with maitake and pecorino: october 12th

beet and avocado portable salad: february 10th, roasted carnival squash, pear and red onion: november 13th

dinner

if it's not breakfast for dinner, than it had better be worth it.

shrimp tacos: january 25th, seared scallops with fresh polenta august 6th

shrimp stuffed calamari: december 27th, my favorite pizza: april 2nd

desserts

my favorite food group, and the most difficult to narrow down. the lack of chocolate on this list is troublesome. perhaps i need another resolution.

fresh fig tarts with pistachio crusts: august 21st, mini cannoli with fresh ricotta cheese: february 6th

speculaas gnomes: december 3rd, fresh fruit popsicles: july 25th

cocktails

scrap the rest, this is all i need.

ginger fuji cocktail: january 27th, champagne cocktail: december 31st

lemon ginger hot toddy: january 21st, spring punch: april 22nd

whew! that was exhausting. someone hand me a cocktail, please.
