This is what greeted me on the screen this morning:
Meaning that when I click publish, this will be my 1,000th post.
1,000 posts. Now admittedly the first several hundred were pure junk, but still. That’s a lot of words. A lot of photographs. A lot of thoughts. A lot of FOOD.
Instead of blabbering on about it, I thought I’d let you do the talking today and share some reader favorites.
Top 10 most popular recipes, in order:
Overnight steel cut oats. Yup, oatmeal. That’s the most popular. Go figure.
Who knew decadence could be healthy? Whole wheat vegan cinnamon rolls are a big favorite, although I think the updated healthy cinnamon rolls deserve a mention.
Donut muffins. Because what’s not to like about donuts?
Mini peanut butter scones recipe. Put peanut butter and mini together in the same recipe and I’m there.
Starbucks’ pumpkin scones, because the real deal is a nutritional tragedy.
Perfect homemade iced coffee. Iced coffee, whenever, however you want it. Which for me is always.
Pumpkin rolls. Even though everything gets pumpkin-ed to death in the fall, you have to admit, pumpkin makes everything better.
Fried oatmeal. I don’t know why I don’t make this more. It should be illegal. And don’t let the word “fried” scare you- I use the term loosely.
Vegan salted caramel shortbread. I think the picture speaks for itself on this one.
Vegan pancake recipe. You might have noticed I’m obsessed with pancakes. Especially on Saturdays. And sometimes Wednesdays, so it can feel like Saturday.
Top 10 most popular non-recipe posts:
