What an epic year it’s been on NSN, love!! You have brought us fabulous recipes week after week…causing lots of drooling and tummy rumbling. Just looking over this fantastic list has reminded me all of the recipes that I have been wanting to make from your blog. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t a blogger myself so that I had more time to make other people’s amazing recipes, like yours! <3 Keep being you because you're awesome and your ideas are brilliant. I can't wait to see what you bring forth in the new year! <3
What a delicious year it was!! I love the rebel in you, the cool chica and the recipes you share!! Happy New Year dear!
haha you rebel you!! I finally am posting a recipe again tomorrow too – it feels like it’s been soooo long since I’ve talked about food!! lol Cheers to the new year!! And I am definitely curious as to where you guys went! Research, research! The talks continue over here! 😉
OH my Goodness!!! What an array of beautiful dishes. I will be visiting each and thank you for sharing them. I was scrolling and trying to figure out what I love the best, I can’t. Everything looks so amazing. That chicken and the glaze, the nuts, the pull apart bread, wow. Looking forward to more deliciousness in the coming months/years. So glad to have come across a talented, young, lovely person. Stay amazing my dear.
HAPPY NEW YEAR beautiful!! Wishing you nothing but the best in 2016! Hope you had a great New Year and New Year’s Eve party.
I apologize for coming to visit your page a bit late, took a bit of a break.

Hey beautiful, gorgeous recipes here. And you made ’em all. (!) You should feel very accomplished my friend, this is quite an amazing collection. Somehow I missed the salt & vinegar wings and they are #1!!!! That is so awesome. I absolutely love salt & vinegar chips, have to keep them out of the house due to CRAVINGS during the night. But, so glad to find this recipe today and see that it is #1. Awesome. Cheers to you and me both, for a fabulous 2016 ahead. Can’t wait to see all you have planned in the kitchen and where life takes you in the coming year. One of the excellent things about 2015 is that I met you. XOXO
What an awesome recipe collection, great to see all these wonderful recipes in one place! Jalapeno Meatballs are calling my name!
Happy New Year, Cheyanne. This collection looks great, I am mostly attracted by those quinoa broccoli tots!
I’m so glad you posted this because it introduced me to your strawberry key lime cocktail! YUM!
Happy New Year!!!! Sounds like you guys had an awesome time out with da bosses. I love little pubs with live entertainment. I also love all of your recipes from last year, especially the salt and vinegar chicken wings (because those are my fav chips too!). Looking forward to all your yummy recipes in 2016 🙂
Gosh – so many wonderful recipes here, Cheyanne! What a great way to wrap up and showcase all the beautiful work you’ve done this year. Though it’s not listed – my vote is for your croissant stuffing – I thought that was a wonderfully inventive (and yummy) recipe. Happy New Year, Cheyanne! So glad we connected this year and here’s to a wonderful New Year.
Happy New Year to you as well, Claudia! Thank you for understanding about the post date! I kinda figured most people were away from the internet the past week… or at least I hoped people were enjoying the company of loved ones or relaxing! 😉 Those baked zucchini fries with pizza hummus are one of my personal favorite recipes, so I hope you try it! Cheers my dear – to a fabulous 2016!
Happy New Year Cheyanne! Good to hear that you had an awesome New Years – and not mad at all at the fact this post arrived this week, not last. In fact, last week was so holiday busy that I was hardly online at all, so this week is perfect for having a proper look! I can’t believe I hadn’t seen your baked zucchini fries before – that is genius, and I am SO making them asap – zucchini is in season here at the moment so we have a truckload. x
I just love these posts! And I always LOVE seeing your creations — seriously, how are you so creative?! I used to think I was creative and then I found your site. Lol. Happy New Year!
Thank you so much, Ashley! Too funny, because I think you are WAY more creative than me!! Can’t wait to see all the YUM that comes out of your kitchen in 2016, doll! Cheers and Happy New Year! 🙂
Such creative, mouth-watering recipes! I can’t wait to see what else you come up with in 2016!! It sounds like you had a grand ole time brining in the new year. Who knew bosses can be so much fun? Here’s to a 2016 full of fun and happy times, my friend! 🙂
Thank you so much, Thao! I’m not sure all bosses are fun, but Boy’s certainly are! Hope the new year has been treating you well, my dear! Cheers to you and 2016 being nothing short of wonderful!
Happy New Year Cheyanne! Glad you had a great night! Love all your popular recipes, can’t wait to start trying them!

So glad you were able to ring in the new year on a high note! We ended up driving down to Portland at the last minute and hanging out with some friends. It was pretty low key, but at least I got to start the new year in my favorite city! ALSO this is such a fun list! You have been knocking it out of the park this year! Happy New Year, Cheyanne!
I have never been to Portland, but it is on my list of places I MUST visit! So i’m totally jealous of your low key NYE! Thanks so much for the sweet comment, Meghan! You rock! Cheers, girlie!
Good golly, did I read that correctly? Garlic and bacon pull apart knots with beer cheese sauce?! What what! This round up is incredible! I can see why they all made it to the top of the list!
Lol, Yes you read that right, Jess. My hubs is obsessed with those! Thanks so much for the comment love! Cheers, girlfriend!
All of these recipes look downright addicting! And that strawberry key limeade cocktail is right up my alley. I could use one of those right now. And those margarita shrimp taco tarts sound amazing!
Thank you so much for the sweet comment, Amanda! That strawberry key-limeade is one of my favorite summer drinks… and those tarts are delish as well! Cheers and happy new year, my dear!! 🙂
Happy New Year, Cheyanne! So glad you had a great night! 🙂 Loving all the gorgeous food in this round-up! I could eat that whole pan of zucchini fries and garlic knots!
Happy New Year to you as well, Kelly! So glad you enjoyed your holiday, but even more glad you are back so I can drool all over your site! 😉 Nothing wrong with a whole pan of zucchini fries and garlic knots! I’m guilty of devouring that for sure. Cheers, my dear and thank you for the sweet comment!
Looks like you had a delicious year! cheers to 2016!
Thank you so much, Rachel! Hope the New Year has been treating you well! Cheers! 🙂
Everything looks delicious, but I seriously wish someone would deliver those Spicy Bloody Mary Gazpacho and Shrimp Shooters to my desk right this second!
Thanks so much, Sues! If I could deliver I would!! Hope the New Year has been treating you well! Cheers! 🙂
Happy new year!! I did nothing but slept on new years eve! 😀 These all recipes look amazing, you make such gorgeous drinks Cheyanne!

Happy New Year, dear!! I am so glad you got to FINALLY enjoy the night life in North Carolina!! 😀 😀 Where did you guys go? How was the food? 🙂 Loving this round up of wonderful recipes from your site. I never saw the Chicken Piccata Spaghetti Squash Boats recipe, but I’m in LOVE! Cheers to a happy, health 2016 for you!!!
Happy New Year to YOU, Lauren! I’m glad we finally went out too! We went to Bonefish for Dinner, Southern Prime Steakhouse for Sangria and a small pub for live entertainment. My favorite was the pub… quaint and low key. The chicken piccata boats were one of my favorites! Thank you so much for the sweet comment girlie! Can’t wait to see all the YUM you bring in 2016! Cheers, doll!
Wow! What a great collection of recipes. I definitely need to make these (especially thinking the bacon and garlic pull-apart bread needs to happen soon 😉
Thank you so much for the sweet comment, Jennifer! Those knots were delish! Hope the New Year has been treating you well! Cheers, girlfriend!
These all look so goooood, Cheyanne! But you can bring them all by my house for one more taste test. I’ve been dreaming of the pumpkin pie martini since I saw it!
Hope you’re relaxed and ready for another year of cooking and fun with everyone!
Lol, Wish we were neighbors, Mir, so we could have an exchange! All of your goodies and treats on JAB look BEYOND! That pumpkin martini is easy and seriously delish, you should try it! Can’t wait to see what you make this year!! Cheers my friend! 🙂
