10 Most Popular Recipes of 2014

10 Most Popular Recipes of 2014 | sharedappetite.com

Goodbye 2014.  Hello 2015.

I don't know about anyone else, but sometimes I feel like I'm not doing enough.  My goals not being completed fast enough.  My to do list keeps growing instead of shrinking.

So that's why I always love to take a few seconds and look back over the past year.  To see what was accomplished.  To see what goals I reached.  To take a look at all my posts and recipes.  And you know what I found?

90 recipes.  90!  ...and a handful of restaurant reviews and food photography tutorials, too.

Another big venture I started in 2014 with my great friend, Tyler....  Ashe Photography Studio.  We specialize in engagement and wedding photography, and we've been incredibly blessed with a growing number of really awesome clients.

And on a personal level, 2014 brought some really exciting changes.  I turned 30, which really hasn't sunk in yet.  Asheley and I bought our dream home.  And of course, the biggest miracle of all... expected to arrive in June of 2015.

So 2014, thanks.  You've been a great year.

Here's a look back at the 10 Most Popular Recipes of 2014 on Shared Appetite...

    Chris, "sometimes I feel like I’m not doing enough. My goals not being completed fast enough. My to do list keeps growing instead of shrinking." dude, I feel the same way. . this is why I guess every day is new and allows us to re-group and re-charge and I've realized over the years to take it one day at a time and that we are only human. The to-do list will always be there .. we can only do so much and the rest we just have to let go. . anywho! (sorry for that ramble). . your recipes, posts and photos are always so stunning and delicious. . wishing you a fabulous 2015 and can't wait to see what you have in store for us, here on the blog!

      Glad I'm not the only one that feels overwhelmed by the "to do" list! And you're so right... one day at a time and do what you can do! Looking forward to 2015 over at Hip Foodie Mom too!!!

    So I was thinking maybe the MEXICAN STREET CORN CROQUETTES for lunch, that incredible looking RUSTIC TUSCAN-STYLE SAUSAGE, WHITE BEAN, AND KALE SOUP for dinner and maybe a BAKED BROWN BUTTER CHURRO DONUT or two for dessert. You're killing me with this year end roundup. WOW! #WolfpackEats

    Spinach and Kale Greek Yogurt Dip! Bookmarked!! I have a ton of spinach leaves in the fridge and until now I didn't know what to do with them before they go bad. This just changed 😀
    Happy new year!!

    I don't know how it happened, but I missed your announcement post! Congratulations! My husband and I have yet to start trying for kids, but I'll admit that infertility is my biggest fear right now. I don't even know how we would begin to approach that. I'm so glad that you and Asheley are getting the happy ending!

    As for popular posts, I should tell you that I pinned your Churro Donuts post when it first came out. I don't have the kind of Pinterest that's followed by thousands, and I haven't even baked them yet myself...but it's been repinned FOUR HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN TIMES. Apparently you filled a hugely unmet need with the churro donut recipe!
