It's the First Anniversary of "Stephanie Savors the Moment" & the Top Ten Recipes - so far!

WOW - I can't believe it's been a YEAR since starting this blog! With over 120 recipes from "Savor the Moment" under my belt and plans for the 10th Anniversary Celebration underway, I'm on the home stretch to completing my goal by November. What a milestone!

I have to say it's been quite an adventure so far and I've definitely learned alot. How to segment a grapefruit, the best way to melt chocolate, how to make bread from scratch - these are just a few of the skills I've picked up along the way. It's also been wonderful sharing the delicious recipes of the Junior League of Boca Raton's James Beard Award-winning Cookbook with family, friends and fellow bloggers. The fact that "Savor the Moment" was the FIRST Junior League Cookbook to ever win a James Beard Award - the culinary equivalent of an Oscar - is definitely something to be proud of!

As I mentioned, the Cookbook Committee has some fabulous plans in the works to celebrate the cookbook's 10th Anniversary, so stay tuned for more information! We have a fabulous committee this year that is looking forward to honoring "Savor the Moment" and the wonderful women who made it all happen. Cheers to you, Ladies!

Also, since I am frequently asked what some of my favorites are, I've decided to include a Top Ten list of the recipes I have made so far. Let me tell you, folks, it was no easy feat narrowing it down to ten! There are just so many excellent recipes to choose from. So, in no particular order, here goes...
