"Best" Awards

In honor of Le Man and Wife's first birthday yesterday, we thought it would be fun to take a look back at some of our favorite blog moments over the last year.

We came up with the idea of nominating our recipes for "Best" awards. Dorky? Maybe. Fun? Definitely.

Here are our nominees for "Best" awards from Le Man and Wife, year one:
