It’s been a while since I posted a collection of links from a year ago, so this seemed like a good time to do it. By the way, my husband highly recommends the Easter Egg posts. Back in January he was asking me if I was going to post a link to the Easter egg post…so I’m posting it.
He’s very supportive of the blog and he loves that I’m doing it. But he only visits my blog occasionally, and of all the posts I’ve done, the Easter eggs seem to have stuck in his mind the most, other than all the food posts, of course!
In this edition, I’ve also included a couple of other recipes and a couple of cleaning posts.

I know it’s Wednesday! But this morning I was over at Tip Junkie and saw that this week’s assignment was to tell your favorite post of 2008. I already posted a list of my favorite posts a few weeks ago, but I thought it would be fun to participate. So here’s a link to my favorite post from last year: Cake Mix Cookies

Time for more of my favorite posts from a year ago. I did a lot of Christmas recipe posts last year, and since this is Recipe Week in my little Christmas festival, I thought it would be a good time to revisit last December’s recipes.
I recommend the appetizers and the holiday poke cupcakes, but that’s just me! My husband recommends the coconut macaroons. (Unless you’re coming to my house; in which case, they’re no good. lol.)
Appetizers:
Christmas Pinwheels
Crunchy Cheese Crisps
Sausage Balls
Desserts:
Coconut Macaroons
Peppermint Brittle
Fantasy Fudge
Holiday Poke Cakes
Chocolate Bon Bons
Rudolph Cupcakes

Now that the site has been around for a year, I can now do “flash back” or “best of” posts. This is great! It’s fun to revisit my old posts, and it also gives me a chance to highlight these posts for new readers to take a look at for the first time.
I’m going to try to do this about once a month, and each month I’ll pick about 4 to 10 links to post up. And of course, I’ll try to pick the most relevant, interesting, and popular posts to highlight.
As with any other post I would write, if you try the links any of them are wrong, I ask you to email me (jhrivers@gmail.com or simplysweethome@hotmail.com) or leave me a comment to let me know, so that I can correct the problems. Thanks!
