Self-promoting? Borderline obnoxious? Yes, maybe. I actually had not planned to share the "best" posts from 2011. But I have enjoyed reading this kind of list from other bloggers and that made me curious about what posts from the past year were the most read here at www.terilynneunderwood.com. I have to admit, some of these were a bit surprising to me. {Weekend Challenge} Finish Something! :: Have a project you have neglected? A "to do" list that overwhelms you?

A favorite stew, maybe a soup or chowder, perhaps a simple crock-pot dish or even a chicken pot pie seems the necessary sustenance for a dreary, gray day.

In no particular order, here are our Top Ten Comfort Foods at Chez Underwood. Taco Soup Chicken and Dumplings Beef ... [Read More]
