Happy Anniversary, She’s on the Run!
Although it seems like just yesterday that She’s on the Run came to be, one whole year has gone by (I can’t even believe it).
But when I look at my first post, it reminds me how much has changed.
I’ve moved, switched jobs and have been through more life experiences than I’d care to admit (such as being hit by a tough economy firsthand). I’ve also had my share of good times and discovered a new passion. Take this blog for example. It combines my two great loves: cooking and writing. And it’s great to look back at all my culinary accomplishments this past year (and laugh at the ones that haven’t gone so well).
To celebrate, I’m compiling my favorite recipes.
Cookie Dough Truffles
For those of you who make chocolate chip cookies just to sneak bits of the dough, these tiny treats are for you.
Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese
The most delicious way to cook with butternut squash.
Taffy Apple Salad
I’ve easily made this salad a dozen times (including a tasty batch last week). The combination of apples, pineapple and marshmallows puts me over the moon.
Potato Carrot Zucchini Pancakes
A unique twist on traditional potato pancakes.
Tater Tot Casserole
This may not be the best looking dish of the bunch, but it’s definitely the most comforting.
Pumpkin Doughnut Muffins
Shaped like a muffin but with the flavor of a doughnut…make these for a truly special breakfast.
Rhubarb Crisp
My preferred way to use up Summer’s fresh rhubarb.
Gnocchi with White Beans
This dish is easy and impressive – definitely worthy of serving to company.
My Birthday Cake
So what if I didn’t exactly make this? The carrot cake from Simma’s is the best I’ve ever had. in. my. life.
Happy Birthday, She’s on the Run! Here’s to many more!
Cheers,
Alysha

Congrats! I’ll be trying that gnocchi recipe too, sounds perfect for a weeknight.
You take great photos of your food and I love reading about people’s favorites after a year of blogging. Now I have some recipes to try out. Happy 1 Year! Cheers to many more! :)
Coming back to comment again….
We made the gnocchi recipe tonight, I loved it and it is tucked in our recipe box to be made again. Simple with a lot of flavor!
