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:

This blog began with a recipe that makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Cherry Brown Butter Bars: The "First" Award.

Then came Green Bean Salad with Figs and Iberico Ham for Thanksgiving 2010: "Best Recipe for Impressing a Crowd".

The "Fewest Ingredients" Award: The Best Ever Tomato Sauce.

"Best Idea We've Ever Had": Egg Rolls.

Red Bean Curry: "Most Repeated Dinner".


"Favorite Pasta Recipe": Toss-up between Kale Pesto Pasta and Linguini with Tomato-Almond Pesto.

"Best Thai Recipe": Thai Green Curry.

Shaved Asparagus Salad: "Healthiest (and Prettiest) Salad".

"Best Sandwich": South Carolina Pulled Pork.

"Best Taco": Spicy Beef Brisket Tacos. (Secret: we've never posted these. Should we?)

"Best Pancakes": Perfect Pancakes.

"Best Granola": Homemade Granola. Updated version coming soon!

"Most Rewarding Recipe": Rainbow Cake.
I can't wait to see what next year will bring (*coughmorecoffeepostscough*)!
