Top 10 Recipes of 2015


It’s the end of 2015 and well, WHOA!
Are you guys ready?
I am definitely not.
I keep hearing my friends saying things like “Next year I want to skydive in the jungle” or “I want to wrestle a lion” or “ I want to write a novel” - and I’m more like “What’s for dinner tonight?” or “Running or yoga tomorrow?
Apparently, I’m not ready for 2016.
The only thing I know is that the new year will be filled with delicious food. Just like 2015, maybe even better...if that’s even possible.

Anyways, with the year coming to a close, I thought I’d put together a collection of the 10 most popular recipes on the blog during 2015 (in terms of pageviews).
Now mind you, these recipes are ones posted from January through December 2015 — basically this an annual roundup.
It’s quite an awesome bunch and you won’t be surprised that all of the most popular recipes are savory ones.
But before we get started, let me take this opportunity to say a giant THANK YOU to all of you for visiting this site regularly, commenting, emailing, and — needless to say it — trying out my recipes. I’m stoked that you guys cook and enjoy my food. It’s so AWESOME!

So let’s start this roundup at number 10...

  3. I am a fairly new reader so most of these recipes are new to me. I am beyond impressed that they are all savoury! Maybe you don`t publish many sweets or maybe your followers aren`t much for sweets but keep it up please. I seldom pin sweet recipes and make sweets even less often.
    Now if you could influence me to get back into yoga ...

  9. Your blog is great! I wonder if you happen to know what could be a good alternative to garlic? I have a sensitivity to it and although I can easily replace my sensitivity to onions with leeks, garlic is so hard... I used to live in Italy for years too !!
