I may be a few days behind the New Year, but I figure you get a week of reflecting back, right? Sure you do! Right now I'm reflecting on what baking/food posts on these here blog have been the most popular, and which have been the most overlooked. As you know, or you maybe don't know, I often give props to TV shows that I love, and also those that are underappreciated, so I figure, why not do that with some of my recipes too?
Now normally I would probably just do this for 2013, but because this is a brand new thing I haven't done before, I'm going to do alllll of my baking posts! Which maybe isn't as fair because the 2013 ones don't have the benefit of time like the older ones for most popular, but oh well! This is not science! Or is baking a science? An art? My boyfriend and I could not quite decide. It's an artful science! That you get to eat!
Onward!
Pumpkin Pie Cake
Coffee Cake Muffins
These are a great morning muffin. Or even a dessert muffin. You can make them in these big muffin tins so you eat only one, or do a regular-sized variety, but then you're gonna eat two. Or three.
- Chocolate Chunk Toffee Cookies
I know I've made some Heath Toffee Bits Cookies before, and in fact those are one of my most popular recipes on this here blog, but I saw this slightly different version around the interwebs, and knew I had to give it a try. Was I disappointed?...
- Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
You guys, I'm on a cookie frenzy lately! I don't know what the deal is, but I can't seem to make enough cookies. Perhaps I should've named my blog something to do with them at this rate. Because, yes, I've got another cookie recipe...
- Cake Mix Toffee Bars
Have I mentioned lately how much I love toffee? Because I lurrrve it. Didn't even know how much I liked it until I tried one of those Hershey's toffee and almond nuggets a few years ago, and then discovered that it wasn't just because those...
- Soft And Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
If you hadn't figured out by now, chocolate chip cookies are kind of my go to cookie whenever I just need one rightthisveryminute. I've tried many recipes, which you can find in the archives, with varying results. The chewy molasses ones are pretty...
- Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are a go to cookie for virtually any occasion, and I have been trying to hunt down a recipe that knocks my socks off for a while. I'll probably post each time I try a new recipe, because while these ones were good, they weren't...

Five Most Popular Recipes
Heath Toffee Bits Cookies
These are REALLY amazing. Soft, chewy, full of chocolate and toffee bits. Yum.
Homemade Fiber Bars
I know this is blurry. It was taken quite a while ago and sadly the camera I was using was not the best! Nonetheless, these are an alternative to buying fiber bars at the store.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Souffles
I mean, who doesn't want to dig into their very own gooey chocolate chip cookie souffle?
Chewy Molasses Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are quite flat, so you may think they wouldn't be chewy. But they ARE! Pretty great chocolate chip cookie option.
Summer Berry Bundt Cake
This is probably just taunting you right now, huh? So summery and delightful! One of the best bundt cakes I've ever tasted, that's for sure.
Five Most Overlooked Recipes
* These are a little more opinion based than the straight most-popular above. I included ones that have low numbers that I also think are really good, rather than just low numbers alone. *
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
It saddens me that these have not been very popular on here. Of course, they're one of the older recipes before anyone knew about this blog, so that could be one contributing factor. Nonetheless, an older recipe does not mean a worse recipe (just sometimes worse photos!). These are great for anyone who likes peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies. They are soft and delightful and not OVERLY peanut butter-y.
Pumpkin Pie Cake
Literally my first recipe posted on here - EVER! You can see I did not know how to take pictures in the right kind of lighting. Maybe one day when I make this again I will update it! Anyway, this is something that is made almost every single year for Thanksgiving. It rolls your pie and your cake into one, and you really won't be able to resist the topping. One of my all-time favorites.
Nutella Swirl Peanut Butter Chip Blondies
These are actually a more recent recipe. I'm not sure if Nutella is passe now or people see blondie and think I'd rather have a brownie, but in either case, they would be missing out. These are a great little bar with flavors that compliment each other without overwhelming each other. If you like Nutella at all, you should try this!
Cookie Bars
These are serious crowd pleasers. I don't think I've ever had someone NOT like these. They are, granted, super sweet. But man, the gooeyness that the marshamallows give to these bars just send them over the top into amazingness.
Coffee Cake Muffins
There you have it! I hope you do check out some of those overlooked ones. Honestly, I wouldn't post about them if I didn't fully back them as being really good. I also apologize for the terrible nature of some of the photographs. Yeesh! I swear I'm getting better! I mean, the toffee bits cookies ones are decent, right?!
