That's A Wrap - My Favorite 2013 Recipes

This is not unlike being asked to name a favorite child, but I am absolutely fearless. Among the recipes I featured last year these were some of my favorites. I fixated on potatoes for reasons that I still can't fathom, but in doing so I came across some potato recipes that I loved and moved to my permanent rotation. The carrot and potato gratin is my favorite find of the year. You'll also notice that my love affair with cheesecake continues unabated and I consider the butterscotch cheesecake to be outstanding. These are all really special recipes and while most of them take some time to prepare, they will not disappoint. These are my favorite recipes for 2013.
