Happy Bloggy Birthday to The Lean Green Bean! It’s pretty hard to believe that it’s been an entire year since I sat down and wrote my very first post! You can check it out here if you’re a new reader 🙂 hilarious if you ask me!

Since this is how I’m spending the next week:

13

I didn’t have a lot of time to make a cake.

I did make these… (sneak peak…recipe later!)

21So that’s just gonna have to do.

In celebration of this special day, I thought I’d highlight a few of my fav recipes from the past year in a little virtual meal that i WISH i had time to make for myself.

I’d start with some Spicy Salmon Cornmeal Cakes.

For dinner: Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Rainbow Peach Salsa

porkWith a side of:

Farmer’s Market Potato Hash

farm& a slice or two of Dutch Oven Bread

DSC 02551and a few Almond Graham Banana Bites 🙂

So there you have it…a meal for the bean. Now who’s coming over to make it for me?

Tell me, what’s your absolute favorite blog post? (Mine, yours, someone else’s…) Leave me a link!

Enjoy!

    Happy blog birthday! Those are some great favorites. The Farmer’s Market potato hash looks delicious. I’d say your banana bites are my favorite post of yours. Those things are delicious!

    happy blogiversary girl! Your first post is so cute, I love it!! But you have come so far from that, so you should feel quite proud and accomplished 🙂 I love reading your blog and recipes. You cook like I do… a bit of this, a bit of that. Writing down recipes proved to be one of the more challenging things to do in blog land. But I think I’m getting a bit better about remembering ingredients these days.
    Keep up the awesome posts! 🙂
