As we bring another year to a close, I just want to say thank you to all my readers! While this blog mostly serves as my creative outlet, it would not be worth it if others did not also find value here. These top 10 most popular recipes of 2023 are the recipes that were read the most by readers.
This list also serves as a guide for me. Most of my recipe development comes hapharzardly, using up ingredients from the garden, or trying something completely new that I fall in love with and want to share. However, I also like to make recipes that are useful to readers, and reviewing this list helps me to do just that!
This list includes only recipes that were posted during this year. I imagine (and hope) that you have favorite recipes that were posted here in a previous year that you won’t see on this list, but I still want to hear about those too. If your favorite recipe is missing from the list, let me know what it was! I also appreciate getting positive feedback from you, so thank you again 🙂 What do you want to see more of in 2024, let me know!
