Eggs
I think if I had to give 2012 one word it would be EGGS. We made so many recipes with eggs as the star of the dish. I think some of that had to do with the 21-day cleanse we  did at the beginning of the year. I also think it's because we love eggs and they are our favorite meat-substitute.

Photography
I spent a lot of time this year really focusing on the quality of my food photography and I think it definitely shows. I've read a lot of tutorials and books this year on food photography and I've implemented what I've learned. I'm pretty proud of the results.

Baking
I did a lot more baking in 2012 and baked some of the best things I've ever baked. Some of these recipes have become family favorites!

Cleansing
We also did a 21-day cleanse at the beginning of the year, something neither of us ever thought we could or would do. It was difficult but ultimately very rewarding and really introduced us to some new recipes and a different way of eating.

Career/Life Changes
Lastly and most exciting, The Other Williams enrolled in culinary school and we turned our passion for food into a career and started a business together.

It's been a great year! So what was the #1 post on Williams Kitchen from 2012?

Tortellini Skewers with Pesto Dipping Sauce

This post went nuts on Pinterest which helped move it to the top of the list of the most visited posts in 2012 and for good reason too. This is such an easy, fast and delicious recipe. The perfect appetizer for a dinner party or a fun, kid-friendly dinner. I mean, anything on a stick is awesome, right?

2012 has been a year of learning, growing, and expanding our palettes and skills. As I look to the new year, I have a several new goals and plans for Williams Kitchen.
