As some of you may know, I went back to work full time a couple of months ago. For about a year, BoB was my primary job. I’m still trying to figure out how to keep updating as frequently as I would like. I have been baking quite a bit for the past several weeks, so I do have many things to share with you. In the meantime, it seems like a review of the last year would be appropriate.
So, with no further preamble, here are the most popular posts from 2008. Click on the images to see the original post.
And, a few of my favorites that didn’t make the list. Thanks, everyone, for a wonderful year. May your new year be happy and blessed!

I wouldn’t worry too much about blogging regularly. I just visit you when I see a new post, however frequent or infrequent that may be!
I really have to thank you for sharing the choc chip cheesecake bars, they’ve been my baking highlight 2008 next to marthas turtle bars! I even bought the book and after my family tasted them i had to bake them regularly! Have a wonderful new year, jen!

Thanks for sharing your expertise with us this past year…it’s been a delicious experience!
Everything looks absolutely outstanding from 2008 on this website. Couldn’t help but notice most, if not all were, “chocolate” recipes………but hey, I am NOT complaining being a complete chocoholic myself!!! Best of everything to you in 2009 and keep sharing those recipes!!!
Chocolate! I’m seeing a trend with most of the favs! What a great year. Please keep everything up even though it has gotten a bit more difficult with your job and available time, because I love visiting your site and seeing all of your amazing treats!
I really must know what type of camera you use because mine cannot take close-ups like yours! And I’m noticing a chocolate chip theme lol Hope everything is well with your new job.
Well hey Jen sorry I’ve been so busy to say hello but I needed to pop on here and wish you all a Happy New Year. Thanks again for sharing all your goodies with us this past year…You do know if you ever have a problem getting rid of any of those left overs you can always send them to me. :o) Hoping everything works out with the new job & best of everything to you & family in 2009.
I’ll take one of each please…it all looks so delicious.
I really enjoy your blog and look forward to whatever you can post in the new year.
We vote for ALL of these being the best! The banana pudding is probably the all-around winner with me! I look forward to sampling many more of your treats in 2009. It is the least I can do….

There looks to be a lot of chocolate there – always a sign of a good year!
Happy New Year! Best wishes for the coming year. I can only hope you DO continue to post fairly regularly because your recipes are DIVINE!!! There are a few there that I must try (and some I already have). I’m supposed to cut out sugar, though. Uh oh.
Lots of chocolate — never a bad thing. 😛 Happy new year and I hope you’ll be able to strike a happy balance between your work and the blog.
Chocolate chocolate chocolate! Do we see a theme?
Thanks for all the wonderful recipes. I’ve tried many and have a very happy tummy as a result.
Best wishes in the new year and as you transition back to full-time work. And no worries about how to get it all in… that will certainly come once you get used to things.
