So this would normally be my “best of” post. But honestly I just could not write it that way. And so I kept staring at the un-published list of things I wanted to talk about until suddenly this title came to mind. So much more appropriate. Things that kept me sane (whether I actually stayed…
Best Foodie Things of 2019
My annual list of best things I discovered in 2019 that have anything to do with cooking or baking, including cookbooks. Affiliate links have been used to link to items I am discussing. View from outside of Lovell, WY, home of the Burger Barn I have had a bulleted list for this post for forever…
Best of 2018: New Kitchen and Fair Trade Spices
No that is not a typo. I never did get a best of 2018 post worked up–I am blaming the thyroid cancer–so I guess you guys get two posts. Especially because some of the things I was going to discuss anyway I realized I technically discovered in 2018 but did not really appreciate completely until…
10 Best Foodie Things of 2017
Much like 2016, 2017 was a year of transitions, but food was never far from my mind. Just ask my kids, who got dragged all over creation in Guatemala until I could find the right denomination of money to try a traditional coconut cookie! So without further ado, here are my favorite culinary discoveries from…
Top 8 Foodie Things of 2016
I am so sorry for the long silence. First I was out of town for New Year’s. And my annual “best of” lists always take some time and thinking. And then, while we were in Ohio, the entire family–and by that I pretty much mean my parents, all of their children and all of their grandchildren,…

[Affiliate links have been used to link to items discussed in this post.] So this is a somewhat different list from my regular end of year “best” lists. Why? Because…
Top 14 Foodie Recommendations of 2014
It’s that time again! I love coming up with these annual lists–I like that I don’t limit myself–anything that comes back to food is included–and it can really make me appreciate the year. Sometimes the item is not even a true recommendation, just something that made me happy. Affiliate links have been used to link…
Top 11 Foodie Recommendations of 2013, The Spiced Life Style
Happy New Year!!!! It is time for end of year reflections and lists. What is it about lists that attract us so much? I love reading other people’s lists, and this post traditionally gets a fair amount of traffic. Something about reading what other people have enjoyed in list form allows me to better figure…
Top 13 Foodie Recommendations 2012, The Spiced Life Style
It’s that time of year! Lists, lists, and more lists! I love them! I spent the day perusing the 50 top singles and albums of 2012 from Rolling Stone. My Pay Pal account is lighter because of it. I have been checking out the top cookbook lists, although I have not seen a ton yet….
