At the end of each season, we take a look back and highlight our favorite posts. See previous Seasonal Bests here.
Wow, spring felt like such a long season for us. We think it’s because it was a season filled with so many special events for us, most importantly the birth of Luc. We’re each hoping to fill the next three months with enough special moments that summer feels never-ending too. Wish us luck! In the meantime, we hope you enjoy clicking back through our favorite posts of winter. If you had a fave we didn’t mention, we would love to hear in the comments!
Best of Side Dishes
- Katie’s pick : Sarah’s Cashew Lime Crema & Sweet Potato Fries. The pairing was delicious, and she taught me how to make sweet potato fries!
- Sarah’s pick : I loooove the Red Cabbage and Apple Salad with Tahini-Ginger Dressing and to think that a couple months ago I had no idea it existed!
Best of Condiments
- Katie’s pick : Arugula Walnut Pesto!!!!!!!!
- Sarah’s pick : I couldn’t get enough of Kate’s Cashew Cream Fruit Dip.
Best of Snacks
- Katie’s pick : I have to base this one on how quickly they were consumed, and this season that award goes to the Sweet & Spicy Mixed Nuts. They’re also darn easy to make!
- Sarah’s pick : Definitely Katie’s Black Walnut Shortbread Bars. They’re actually cookies, but I ate them so often while staying with Kate that I’d like to remember them as bars. No, power bars. Yeah, I was eating healthy power bars each time I walked by the snack cupboard.
Best of Desserts
- Katie’s pick : Homemade Nutella, which is almost gone :-).
- Sarah’s pick : The Bulldozer Birthday Cake is an obvious winner here. I still can’t get over how quick, simple and successful it was!
Best of Drinks
- Katie’s pick : The Hazelnut Liqueur and boozy shakes. We’ll be carrying this idea well into summer with us!
- Sarah’s pick : The Homemade Lemonade really brightened my week, but I have to go with the Gin & (Homemade) Tonic. Super tasty and a neat experience!
Best of Crafts
- Katie’s pick : Sarah’s Macrame Plant Hangers because they have me so inspired to add some macrame texture to our house, either in the form of the hangers and/or as a wall hanging.
- Sarah’s pick : I’m in need of some Walnut Oil Wood Balm.
Best How To
- Katie’s pick : How To: Take Newborn Portraits. Even though I see this little bug everyday, I cherish Luc’s newborn photos.
- Sarah’s pick : How To Use It: Coconut oil; you need a tub of it in your life.
Best of Nature
- Katie’s pick : Sarah’s review of Everyman’s Guide to Ecological Living. I can’t wait until I have the time to pick this inspiring read up ~ maybe at the beach this summer? {Sarah here: that’s exactly where I picked up my copy!}
- Sarah’s pick : I love the simple Native Bee House Katie hung up outside her home. I love thinking about the little bees she’s housing 🙂
Best of Travel
- Katie’s Pick : Even though I didn’t leave my seat, I loved Sarah’s travel and adventure documentary recommendations.
- Sarah’s Pick : I loved reading about Katie’s 24 Hours in Denver with Kids. So often travel guides are packed full of activities, which is great, but I loved knowing exactly what fit into 24 hours.
Best Around the House
- Katie’s pick : I enjoyed writing Garden Research and now I have all my favorite sources in one place.
- Sarah’s pick : Even though it is easy peasy, I loved writing and photographing How to: Hang and Fill a Hummingbird Feeder. I’ve filled it three times since that initial post! I love watching all the hummingbird activity each morning before I start work.
