Blogiversary {Giveaway}

It’s my one year blogiversary today! Yay!

In lieu of another recipe, I thought I’d share with you the top 10 most visited recipes of my first year. 🙂

  1. Chocolate Covered Funfetti Cake Balls By far the most viewed, yet not in ‘Chocolate & Carrots’ style of healthier baking. Haha…how ironic.
  2. Cookie Dough Truffles Who doesn’t love cookie dough without the scare of raw eggs!
  3. Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes My little sister’s creation…inside it looks like mint chocolate chip ice cream!
  4. Nutella Chocolate Soufflés My favorite dessert of all time. Oh. My. Goodness. Goooooeeey!  
  5. Super Easy Dark Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cracker Cookies Super easy is an understatement….super duper easy is more like it! Great for kids that want to help in the kitchen too!
  6. {Secret Ingredient} Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake My first attempt at baking with black beans…and it was an EXCELLENT surprise! Yummmm!  
  7. Dark Chocolate Almond Joys A family tradition, made healthier! 🙂
  8. Autumn Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes It’s only a natural beauty to combine cinnamon rolls and cupcakes in one!
  9. White Russian Tiramisu Cake An adult dessert made much ‘lighter’ than the traditional tiramisu…that never fails to please the crowd!  
  10. Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies The fastest and healthiest cookie I’ve every made…and not to mention tasty!

Now, for the fun part!!!

A giveway! Eeeee!

I’ve decided that for my blogiversary giveaway, I’d give one of my amazing readers one of my ALL-TIME favorite kitchen items ever.

    Love the flourless chocolate cake, and have made it four times in the last 30 days! After that I really liked the Wonravilinis, and so did everyone that ate them.
    I’m a Twitter follower.
    I tweeted about your blogiversary and the giveaway contest.
    I’m a FB fan!!!
    Love your blog, the recipes, the photos, and the stories. You guys seem like a wonderful little family, and we would have you over for a barbeque if you didn’t live on the other side of the United States. Keep up the great work! Yours is one of two blogs I make sure to read every day, and I tell people about it all the time. Ü

  27. My favorite recipe is actually the black bean chocolate cake posted above! I’m on a grain-free diet, which makes edible and delicious cakes hard to come by. I’m so happy to have found it.

  31. Happy Blogiversary! I recently had my one year too. My favorite recipe is the saltine toffee (better known as ‘Christmas Crack’ around here!) They are SO ADDICTIVE!! Everyone who tried them loved them. (I also loved your hubby’s bday cake…I’m planning on making it for my bday next month!)

  38. Happy blogiversary! My favorite recipe has to be the Tiramisu cake! I love tiramisu and having it in cake form is so delicious!

  43. Congrats on your blog’s 1 year anniversary! I have to say that I don’t just have 1 favorite. The cake balls were amazing. The almond joys and black bean chocolate/peanut butter cake were awesome too. I bet the tiramasu would top the list also – but I have not tried that yet… Maybe I’ll make it this week while the boys are at camp:-)

  44. There are so many recipes I’ve loved, but the one that sticks into my head is the peanut butter mousse in chocolate cups. I definitely need to make that once I can find those cups.

  52. Hands down the Confetti cake balls…. Mine didn’t look as perfect as yours when I tried it, BUT they tasted amazing! I’d love to win this to try other recipes!
