The past year's had so many brilliant moments that I simply couldn't imagine picking my favorites. Luckily you'd already done that job for me, and I bet ya didn't even know it! ;p Once the lovely Tracey of Tracey's Culinary Adventures gave me a crash course on Google Analytics (over Twitter, no less!), it was a cinch to pull a list of my most clicked-on posts of 2011 to compile this list. I hope you enjoy reviewing last year's highlights as much as I have! Wishing you a Happy New Year with much love, XL
