Gotta tell you guys I don’t often dip into Google Analytics. I am kinda number squeamish. In order to grab these top 10 for ya I had to pay it a visit.
With huge exposure on Pinterest I had a hunch as to what posts were getting the most eyeballs. Are these surprising to you? How many have you tried?
Here are the tippy top recipes I created this year. As an added bonus ~ all of these recipes will be PERFECT for your healthy eating new years resolutions. Dig in!
Blueberry Coconut Baked Steel Cut Oatmeal
We all love this recipe for the color, convenience, healthy ingredients and of course the flavor!
Spaghetti Squash Sesame Noodles
This recipe is a great alternative to pasta and it is vegan.
Homemade Whipped Cream: Vanilla, Chocolate and Strawberry
Nothing is easier than homemade whipped cream. Skip the squirt can and take the extra few minutes to make it yourself. To keep things unexpected and fun I flavor it in all sorts of ways.
Healthy DIY Lunchables: Salami and Cheese
Project LunchBox continues to be a grand slam on this blog. Keep lunch costs down, make healthy choices and pack your own tasty lunch.
Spring Flower Bouquet Popsicles
This pops were created on a whim. On a drive to school I asked my kids “What kind of pops should I make.” My daughter yelled out “Flower Popsicles!” And so this idea was born.
It is featured in quite a few places online including Ryan Seacrest blog and in a British wedding magazine Perfect Weddings.
Spaghetti Squash Noodles with Thai Peanut Sauce
Yup. Two Spaghetti squash recipes made my top 10 in 2012. Anything you would mix with pasta you can mix with spaghetti squash. A dang good thing if you ask me.
You guys LOVE whipped cream. This one is made from thick coconut cream. You will find yourself licking this off the spoon way before you use it in any recipes.
Vegan Whipped Cream: Vanilla, Chocolate, Mocha Coffee
Another vegan whipped cream recipe except this time I share four melt in your mouth flavors. Have that spoon handy so you can sample each ~ over and over again.
Chocolate Oatmeal Pudding Breakfast Cake
Everyone wants an excuse to eat chocolate and cake for breakfast. Now you can and you won’t feel guilty at all about it, this is also gluten free. Think you need to put some of that whipped cream on it too!
Chocolate Lover’s Skinny Milkshake
Chocolate and skinny are the perfect combination. Make an icy cold treat any time of day and feel good about it ~ this shake is vegan too.
Thanks for brightening my year with your visits. 2012 has been filled with great days and lots of JOY.
I look forward to a bright and prosperous 2013. Wishing you all a safe, fun and wonderful 2013! XO Marla
