This is what greeted me on the screen this morning:

999 blog posts

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:
