This past year, there were some defining favorites for my viewers.  There was a significant number in views on these recipes, more than any other.  I love being able to share my cooking trials with you all, thank you for your support!  I can't wait to see what 2017 brings!

These little gems were a quick hit, I only posted this recipe a couple of months ago and they're already in the number 2 spot.  I decorated a cheesecake with them but I snacked on all the rest.

Top 5 of 2014

#5 Ruth's Chris New Orleans Style BBQ Shrimp came in at number 5 for the year.  Hard to go wrong with this recipe, if you are a shrimp lover this is a great recipe to try. 

#4  Homemade Jerky Marinade.  I seriously make this recipe all the time!  It's unusual for me to make the same recipe over and over again and not change anything but this is one that I don't mess with. Great flavor without being too spicy. 

#3  S'mores Cookie Bars are a favorite for so many people.  The bar itself is perfectly chewy and with the addition of the chocolate and marshmallows on top you just can't go wrong.

#2  Crock-Pot Pork Chops are so easy to throw together and let your slow cooker do the work.  The meat comes out so tender and delicious.

#1  Lemon Velvet Cake is just scrumptious.  Perfectly lemony and perfect for the summer.


Thanks for all your support these past years!  I am looking forward to seeing what the New Year brings.

Top 5 of 2013

Crockpot Ham and Bean Soup

I couldn't get enough of this soup when I made it.  Very simple and totally delicious, this was my most viewed recipe of 2013.  With the weather so chilly right now, I think I'll go make some.

Samoa Brownies

I fell in love with this recipe the moment I dumped a truckload of caramel coconut over the top and then drizzled it with chocolate.  How can you not love this?

Baked Potato Casserole

Everyone should keep this recipe in their recipe box for those unexpected visitors.  No strange ingredients and in fact you probably have them all available right at this very moment. Combine them together and you get a sure fire hit at the dinner table.

Pineapple Gelato

Number four most viewed recipe from my blog is this Gelato.  I'm thrilled that people were so drawn to it because it is mighty tasty.  Very cool and refreshing on a hot day.

Baked Old Fashioned Donuts

Last but not least, one of my favorite recipes for an old fashioned cake donut that is baked in my very own oven.  I used the baking part as an excuse to eat more.


Thanks to all of you who visit my blog, pin it on Pinterest or share it on Facebook.  I appreciate all of your support and hope to see you and all your friends in 2014!

Top 5 of 2011

I know I'm a year late here but better late than never right? I just wanted to start a little tradition of getting the top 5's out for the New Year so let's just pretend for a minute that you don't notice this is a year old OK? :)  Thanks!

Red Velvet Crepe Cake

To say that this recipe is a favorite of 2011 is a slight misrepresentation of it's importance, because it is in fact the most viewed recipe on my blog up until the present time.  I'm not surprised, it was an incredible cake to look at, and to eat.  In case you're wondering, this recipe makes two cakes so you can  share one and keep one for yourself!

Ina Garten Sesame Noodles

Ina Garten never lets me down.  Her recipes turn out perfectly for me every time and I always get rave reviews.  I did modify this recipe but I still think it's awesome!

Bacon Wrapped Smokies with Brown Sugar

Talk about the perfect party food and someone will always mention the cute little "hot dogs" that everyone loves.  They are the perfect sized appetizer for a party.  Just a toothpick and you're all set for a on the go nibble.  Add bacon and brown sugar and you may have just created the perfect snack!

Redneck Rigatoni

Thanks Dad!  This is one of his creations and it's been viewed plenty of times.  People love how simple and easy it is and what's more redneck then canned cheese!

Chocolate Swiss Roll with Marshmallow Frosting

This was a delicious creation!  The marshmallow frosting really puts it over the top.  The cake is so chocolatey that the frosting is the perfect accompaniment.  It was fun to make and even funner to eat!

Top 5 of 2012

2012 was delicious! I've compiled the top 5 of 2012 in the order of the most views on the internet.  I hope you've enjoyed these recipes as much as I have making them!  2013 will be even better!

Happy New Year!

Orange Ice Cream

The fresh orange taste in this ice cream is a hit!  Creamy and full of flavor.  This is a must have for this summer's menu.

Frozen Chocolate Covered Banana Bites

Frozen treats have never been easier than this one, or more delicious.  Very easy to make and they last a long time in the freezer.  Great for a quick chocolate craving and you'll feel good about giving this to your kids!

Baked Pork Chops

A delicious change of pace for your typical pork chop recipes.  I loved the creamy gravy and how juicy the pork stayed.

Ina Gartens Homemade Granola Bars

Just in time for those New Year's resolutions, these homemade granola bars are so good I could barely stop eating them.  Chewy and full of oats, nuts and fruit you can customize these to fit your personal tastes!

Chocolate Mint Cupcakes with Mint Frosting

This cupcake was the perfect holiday party dessert!  Easy to hold and eat with one hand, no plate needed.  Cool mint flavor that everyone loves and a moist wonderful chocolate cake. Best of all there is a hidden surprise at the bottom of the cupcake!
