Top 10 Posts of 2015
It’s always great to look back and see the progress made in different areas of life. I was encouraged as I looked back at the posts from 2015 and to see the growth as a person, in writing and photography. I found it interesting to see which posts did the best. I thought it might be all recipes, so I was surprised to see some money posts crept up to the top.
So there are two ways to do present this. One is just looking at posts that were only written in 2015. And then there are the posts that have been circulating for a few years. No surprise that the posts with the most traffic have been hanging around the longest, so we have two lists.
Top 10 Posts Written in 2015
- Double Chocolate Banana Breakfast Muffins. Moist, chocolatey, dairy-free using coconut oil, and healthy. What’s not to love?
- French Toast Bake with a Crumble-So easy to throw together the night before serving. Makes a great dish for guests, during holidays, or anytime. And the crumble is the best part of course!

- Crock-pot Turkey-And yes, you can crock-pot a whole turkey, too! I’ve done it SEVERAL times. It’s another oven-freeing recipe and keeps your turkey moist! I use my 7 quart crock-pot for this baby.
And for the most views of 2015…(music enters) dun, dun, dun…
- Costco Price List-Containing about 150 natural and organic groceries, this list is updated every 6 months to help people know their prices and to comparison shop. I think it’s so important to know grocery prices to keep a frugal household running.
