Another weekend, another set of “Best of 2012″ posts!

If you’re new to this series, for the first handful of weekends in 2013,  I’m jumping on the FSC Time Machine to create recap-posts on the different topics we covered in 2012. 

So far we’ve recapped:

• Bread & Breakfast
• Gardening
• Winter Projects
• Podcasting
• Sweets & Treats, Part 1, Food Allergy Friendly
• Sweets & Treats, Part 2, Nuts, Flour & Dairy Oh My!

This weekend has us looking back on all the wonderful posts by first-time or life-time FSC Swappers, many of them have recipes included. These are great Point Of Views pieces if  you are swap-curious, their stories will tell you a lot about our swaps, up close & personal. -Christina

Before we jump on the FSC Time Machine, its that time of the month to announce the next set of food swaps!

We are proud to announce that we have a *new & exciting* day & venue for our Schenectady Food Swaps: SCHENECTADY GREENMARKET!
