Wow. What a year. It’s been a bit of a whirlwind!
It’s always fun to look back at the year’s posts and share reader favorites. This year’s top 10 line up features more recipes than ever before…I hate to say it was the year of eating, but it may well have been!
I am also excited to see two contributor posts show up in the top 10 this year. I am truly blessed to be working with some amazing women .
Without further ado, please enjoy the top 10 posts of 2013 (plus a little bonus right out of the gate!).
Top 10 Posts of 2013
Okay, so technically this first highlight wasn’t actually published in 2013. I posted my Peppermint Hot Chocolate Mix recipe in December 2012, but it has held the very top spot all year long. So, just think of it as a bonus!

Just after Thanksgiving I shared my go-to gingerbread cookie recipe…This Easy Gingerbread Recipe has been a part of our traditions for over a decade. It’s the softest, most delicious version I have ever tried. I am so glad you agree!
Early in the year, Holly shared this awesome Super Bowl Party Appetizer. You’ve got to try it. It’s delicious!
Earlier this year I shared a gift-a-year birthday celebration with you. It was fun to put together and fun to share!

Nothing’s better than party decor that can be used over and over. I originally created this DIY chalkboard banner to welcome summer, but it’s since been used over and over and over.
It appears that this is the year of the recipe…I didn’t share that many, but they sure go crazy on Pinterest when I do! I love this super-delicious Summer Tortellini Salad. I can’t wait to make it again!
Despite the not so great photos, this Almond Joy Cookie recipe is AMAZING…I seriously get several comments a month from readers who’ve tried it and love it.
I have been blessed to work with some great contributors. Rebecca has shared a truly amazing project every single month. These Coffee Filter Peonies were nearly guaranteed to find a place in the top 10 from the get go!
I’ve been able to travel all over the country speaking on blogging in the last year. I always attempt to get my notes up on the site whenever possible. One of your favorite blog topic posts was Five Steps to Improving Blog Traffic.

And coming in at number 10…Perhaps one of the messiest, yet most delicious recipes we worked on all year…S’mores Mini Donuts.
