With New Year's quickly approaching, I thought it'd be a good time to recap the year's most popular recipes on this blog. I always love reading these posts on other blogs because it helps me find new recipes or reminds me of ones I'd forgotten that I need to try, and I love going through my own blog stats at the end of the year to find out which recipes you guys loved most! The one thing that stood out from the ten most popular recipes was that you guys love quinoa - 4 of the top 10 posts were for quinoa recipes! This makes me very happy because I love trying new ways to eat quinoa, and I'm looking forward to sharing new recipes with you guys in the new year!
Without further ado, here are your favourite recipes from 2012. I'll be back in 2013 to recap some of my own favourite recipes from the year. Until then, Happy New Year! :)
10. Pasta with Chicken and Broccoli in a Mushroom White Wine Sauce
... and roasted garlic, and sundried tomatoes .. There's a lot going on in this pasta but that's what makes it so good!
9. Quinoa-Stuffed Poblano Peppers with Chipotle Sauce
This was my first time trying poblano peppers and I loved how they paired together with the spicy chipotle sauce and creamy goat cheese quinoa. Healthy and flavourful!
8. Sesame Soy Spaghetti Squash with Broccoli & Edamame
This recipe was the result of a lot of trial and error that eventually turned into a dish I loved. If you're looking for a new way to eat spaghetti squash, give this a try!
7. Banana Layer Cake with Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting
Every year I look forward to planning and making my own birthday cake that's completely suited to my own tastes. This did not disappoint!
6. Quinoa Risotto with Mushrooms, Spinach, and Goat Cheese
If you think you don't like quinoa, you might learn to love it with this recipe - the risotto method of cooking and the addition of goat cheesy make it nice and creamy, and the mushrooms and spinach keep it healthy!
5. Cheesy Pizza Pull Apart Bread (and other Superbowl Ideas)
The pull-apart bread technique (which is ridiculously easy) was very popular this year, and I jumped on the bandwagon with this pizza version! I also rounded up a bunch of Superbowl recipe ideas which you might want to check out with playoffs coming up soon!
4. Sweet Potato, Kale, and Cranberry Quinoa Salad
Another quinoa recipe that's full of healthy ingredients (try using pomegranates instead of cranberries for an added superfood!) to start off the New Year right!
3. 5 Healthy Summer Quinoa Salads
I told you quinoa was popular! These were some of my favourite quinoa salads I ate during the summer, but most can be enjoyed any time of the year.
2. 5 Ways to Eat Avocado for Breakfast (+ More Recipes from Other Blogs)
I'm so glad you guys support my avocado addiction and I hope you were willing to try out some of these breakfast combinations that may seems weird but are delicious!
1. Toblerone Cheesecake Bars
This is by far the most popular recipe on my blog, and it's easy to see why - Toblerone chocolate + cheesecake = amazing!
