Top 10 Favorites of 2014 • Your Picks + My Picks

It is almost 2015 but not quite, so let’s do a little reflecting before the New Year is upon us…

Feasting on Fruit did not even exist at the beginning of 2014, so to say “it’s come a long way in 2014” is a bit of an understatement (and quite cliche). Looking back on my first post is embarrassing frankly, but that is what learning is all about. It’s not about going back and deleting those crappy iPhone pics so no one in the world will ever see them, it’s about being grateful for the progress.

And I’m sure in a year I’ll look back at last week’s post and wonder what I was thinking, but by then I’ll have an entire year’s worth of new knowledge in my head and even better posts and pictures on my site. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to see what next year has in store!

There are a few things I’ve learned in 2014:

• There’s a lot more to blogging than I ever imagined!
• I love the food, but I really love the photography and design too.
• You guys love classics made healthy (like graham crackers, pretzels, and brownies)
• Chocolate and childhood faves are always a hit (like dirt cups)
• We all love short ingredient lists (like 3-ingredient cookies)
• And banana ice cream!…Enough said.
