Just a year ago I decided to take the proverbial plunge and start TWV?- you can read my first post here. As you can see, I wasn’t overly confidant that anyone would care what I had to say, ha ha. But as I look back over all the posts I’ve shared, the 220,000+ hits I’ve gotten, and most importantly- all the readers and other bloggers that I’ve “met”, I’m so happy that I took the chance. As every blogger knows, a lot of time and effort goes into this endeavor- especially if you post with regularity. Honestly, it’s also a lot of fun! And sometimes I get comments and emails that really move me, and make it all worth while.
To commemorate my first year, I thought I’d do some superlatives (yes, just like in your high school yearbook) to highlight a few favorite recipes (and maybe some you missed!) (Just click on the picture to view that post & recipe)
Most Popular:
Cauliflower n’ Cheese
Most Secretly Spicy:
Chipotle Sweet Potato Chowder
Best Drinking Buddy:
Beer-Battered Sweet Potatoes
Most Likely to Send You Into a Carbo-Coma:
Mac n’ Cheese Bread Bowl
Class Clown:
Korean BBQ & Sriracha Pineapple Pizza
Most Likely to Fool an Omnivore:
Butternut Squash Mac n’ Cheese
Most Multicultural:
Korean BBQ Quesadillas
Most Transformed:
Buffalo Wing Tacos
Most Finger-Lickin’ Good:
Butternut-Sausage Stuffed Phyllo Cups
I also wanted to share a few other tidbits with you:
Most common search phrase: Some variation of “chickpea burger”
Strangest search phrase: “Does your onion bread look like my status update?”
Most surprising-that-it-led-to-TWV-of-all-blogs search phrase: “Spaghetti”
And a huge THANK YOU to all my wonderful readers, I love you all! 🙂

This is the first time I’m coming across your blog, but it’s fantastic! The name is very suiting, looking at these recipes you’d never guess half of them were vegan.
That’s a great compliment, thank you! And welcome!
