Best Weekend Getaway
Girls weekend in NYC, aka Carbs in the City.  Thank you, Erica, for hosting us for such a wonderful weekend!

Most Surprisingly Delicious Dinner
Roasted Pepper-Corn Pasta Salad!  You guys must try it!

Tastiest Treat
I made a LOT of desserts last month!  But I think my tastiest treat (and funnest) were the Christmas Tree Brownies I made to help out my friend Shannon host our high school friends’ annual Christmas party!

Most Awesome Appetizer
This is also a tough one for December!  If I had to pick a favorite, I’d go with my Cranberry Avocado Salsa that I brought to my parents’ house on Christmas!  So festive and delicious.

Favorite Workout
The Superset Plus Cardio Interval Workout 2! 

Funnest Workout Playlist
Although for a normal playlist, I would go with the one posted in the Superset Plus Cardio Interval Workout 2, I think my funnest of the month was definitely my holiday mix!  Who says you can’t workout to holiday music?
