Happy 2016! Woo it’s been another full year! I thought it was only fitting to put Eat Drink Savor Repeat‘s twenty fifteen posts in review to kick off this year. It’s been a busy year in the best of ways — moving from Maine to Boston, new job, applying to grad school, new friends and roomies and many endings, but also new beginnings. Here’s the most popular posts and recipes, as well as tips/tricks I learned this year. Enjoy and cheers to a New Year!
