    Happy New Year from the Chases

    {Photo by Karinna Rachelle Photography}

    Good evening friends…It’s a quiet evening at our house…2 of the boys are already asleep…the other 2 are watching “Tooth Fairy 2” (because it’s the ‘funniest movie ever because he farts out sprinkle dust’…SIGH!)…and our new boy dog is sleeping at my feet. {Anyone have a daughter or girl dog I could borrow?!? I’m drowning in testosterone here!!!}

    Kidding.

    Sorta.

    With just hours to spare in 2013, I thought I’d share some of the top recipes from this year. But first, below is a list of all the top recipes round ups. If you’re home cruising the net tonight, drop a few of these onto your meal planning and recipes boards on Pinterest. (My guess is that saving money and/or meal planning on our goals/resolutions list for 2014!)

    • Top Recipes from 2012
    • Top Recipes from 2011
    • Top Recipes from 2010

    Over the next few days, I’ll be sharing more goals, resolutions and plans for 2014…so stay tuned!

    Finally before we get to the list…the top post of 2013 is hands down the 20 Meal from Costco for $150. If you haven’t seen it yet, you must pop over and check it out!
