Readers' Favorite Recipes of 2014

Part of the fun of any year is looking back on where you've been and what you've done. As this year comes to a close, I have looked back on what the most popular recipes were here at Yesterfood- readers' favorites.

12. The twelfth most popular recipe was Winter Energy Cookies, published back in January 2014. They're a healthy treat that will keep you going through all your winter adventures:

11. Spinach Alfredo Crockpot Lasagna came in at number eleven of readers' favorites. This is one of my favorites, too; I love being able to prepare lasagna in the crock pot:

10. Number ten involves chocolate, thank goodness. A favorite from last June, Chocolate Pecan Zucchini Cake is chock-full of zucchini, then sprinkled with luscious brown sugar-pecan-chocolate crumbles:

9. Tied for ninth place, Pumpkin Bread and its best friend, Praline Sauce,
were hits for fall:

8. Another fall favorite, Sweet Potato Visitor Bread, made an appearance
at church one Sunday:

7. Grow Your Own Sprouts was very popular last summer on the blog, on Pinterest, and even on Hometalk. I love sprouts year-round, and they're so easy to grow:

That was a gooood sandwich, y'all

6. The sixth favorite recipe almost didn't get published. I had made it and photographed it, then got busy with other posts. I almost forgot about it until I ran across the photos again later. Old-Fashioned Banana Cream Pie is a rich, delicious, creamy classic, and I'm glad it didn't get forgotten:

5. Peeps Houses were so much fun to make and photograph. Published last April, they were the fifth most popular post on the blog, and the second most popular on Pinterest!

4. An all-time favorite, Classic Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting was the fourth most popular with readers in 2014:

3. The third favorite recipe with readers was one of my and my family's favorites, too. The dough for Almost Sourdough Bread is easy to work with, and produces tender, hearty, pleasantly chewy loaves with just a hint of a sourdough flavor:

2. Pistachio Kiss Pudding Cookies came in second, but there's nothing second best about these pretty cookies that start with a mix. Originally published for St. Patricks' Day, they were also very popular for Christmas:

1. The most popular post with readers for 2014 was Starbucks Lemon Loaf. The photos weren't my favorites, but it was also the most popular post I had on Pinterest, so you never know.

What I do know is it really is one of the very best things I have ever eaten!

I occasionally publish a sewing or crafty post. Readers' favorite non-recipe post for 2014 was Mason Jar Gift Bags- a tutorial for making drawstring gift bags to fit almost all size mason jars:

Thank you for joining me this year, and I look forward to seeing you in 2015.
I wish you the very, very best in the New Year! ♥
