Top 10 Recipes of 2017 on Chocolate Slopes

Check out my top 10 recipes of 2017 on Chocolate Slopes along with a few reflections on 2017 and exciting adventures happening in 2018!

With taking the past few weeks off from blogging, I thought it was finally time to record a few thoughts of 2017 and the upcoming year, along with the top 10 favorite recipes of 2017. Of course the highlight of Chocolate Slopes is typically food which is why I have listed the top 10 recipes of 2017, however, Chocolate Slopes has also branched out over the past few years with travel. Some of my favorites were our Weekend Getaway in Northern Michigan and our Couple’s Summer Getaway to Traverse City just to name a couple. I can’t wait to see what 2018 has in store in regards to travel as well as continue to provide you with the best recipes that are not only healthy and simple, but also delicious.

Personally, 2017 was one of the best years I’ve had in many many years. Not only have we settled in a house and city that we love, we have met a ton of new neighbors that have become great friends, have had no serious healthy issues in our family and my husband’s new job has worked out fantastically.

And looking forward to 2018, I am taking on a new adventure of my own. I will be working part-time out of the home for the first time in over 7 years. I had applied to a few jobs, however, the one I ended up with could not be more ideal for my family at this time. I will be working for our local school district in the food and nutrition department. Don’t worry, I will still be keeping up with Chocolate Slopes. I just wanted a job that provides me with more interaction along with providing me more experience in the dietitian field. And even more exciting news is that my husband made PARTNER in his law firm. This is a huge accomplishment that took years of hard work, sacrifice, sleep deprivation and lack of family and free time. We are so thankful for these new opportunities for the both of us and are so excited to see what the future brings!

Now here are not only some of my family’s favorites but also your favorites…my readers!
