When I started Real Food Real Deals last March, I didn’t realize what a wonderful community I was joining. I’ve learned so much from other writers and readers in the blogging world, and I’m looking forward to more great recipes and inspiration in the year ahead. Eating unprocessed food has so many benefits, but it can be challenging to stick to such a countercultural approach to food. When I find myself standing in the kitchen scrubbing my measuring cups for the third or fourth time in one day, I love knowing there are so many of you out there who are in the same boat.
These are the three recipes on my site that had the most views this year:
Chewy Blueberry Banana Oat Bars
Homemade Larabars
Pumpkin-Glazed Popcorn

And these are my favorite non-recipe posts from the past year:
How Much Money Can You Save by Making Food Yourself?
Happy New Year, and here’s to another great year of real food!

I agree, it’s really such a great community of people! And I really love how wordpress sent along a stats update, and I am inspired to post my top 5 too. Thanks Anne Marie for your blog and your support of mine

It’s not too far off from the gingerbread popcorn. I think you’ll like it.
Just read an article on food trends for 2013 and they put homemade snacks right up there. Your larabars are going to increase in popularity!

Thanks, Tammy! Good to know. I don’t always succeed, but I try to make all our snacks from scratch.
