Hello, 2016! I couldn't let this moment pass without reflecting on 2015. I totally let the 6-year anniversary of starting The Little Kitchen pass without reflecting too! 2015 was a tasty and an amazing year for me but not without stress, challenges and some heartache. While, amazing, it was a tough one for me and I know for many others.
Let's talk about your favorite recipes here on The Little Kitchen…and here's to hoping your 2016 is a great year!
15. Classic Cheesecake
This recipe came from our Princess Cruise to Alaska and it's a keeper!
14. French Toast Sticks with Maple Butter Dipping Sauce
I have great memories of my sister making me French Toast when I was a kid. Love making them into sticks and the dipping sauce is a must make!
13. Shrimp & Chive Dumplings
These are so good! Even better, you can make a bunch and freeze them for later!
12. Double Chocolate Cupcakes with Salted Caramel Buttercream
These are so addictive…I know you'll LOVE them if you make them!

I love love that I can now enjoy mac & cheese with almond milk!
