Every year I struggle with what to highlight in my “best of” or “top 10” posts. Do I go strictly by the numbers and share what my most popular posts were? Or do I choose only posts that were written in 2015? Do I share the top posts in separate categories, like recipes and cleaning tips? Or should I just pick whatever my favorite 10 posts of the year happened to be, whether or not they are popular? Does it even matter? 🙂 In the end I decided to do a little bit of everything.
Thanks for spending 2015 with me! I can’t wait to see what new recipes, random tips, DIY and random stuff for kids 2016 will bring.

Top Three Posts (all-time)
Personal Favorites from 2015
- Jumbo chocolate chip cookies
- Easy homemade slime
- Homemade “Velveeta” cheese
- OREO brownie trifle
- Strawberry cake with lemon cream cheese frosting
- White chocolate raspberry pie
I do think it’s a little funny that 4 of my 6 “favorites” are desserts. I can’t help it. I do love my sweets. I just try to keep them spread out or give them away. 🙂 Those jumbo cookies are definitely one of my favorite things for the entire year. They taste so amazing and I’ve made many, many batches of them and they turn out great every time! The strawberry cake and white chocolate pie are both recipes that are a little more “involved” but they taste fantastic and look so pretty!
If you REALLY want to walk down memory lane with me, check out these other “best of” posts from past years!
I’d love to hear what your favorite post of the year was- did it make the list, or do you like something else?

I love the personal favorites the best when I am looking at recaps on blogs. It tells me something about your personality.

Thank you for a year full of great ideas!
One thing I would like is a recipe for Cheese Whiz. One that has much less salt than the original. Hubby and I are both on salt restricted diets, but love cheese whiz whipped into potatoes and then fresh or frozen peas added at the last second ( the frozen peas melt quickly and taste like fresh picked peas). Dh especially needs the salt free or very low salt. Any ideas or recipes??

You are so welcome! And I don’t have a recipe or tip for that on my site, but it’s a wonderful idea. I’ll do some research and testing and get back to you! If it’s a success you’ll see it on the blog this year 🙂 (I’ll also put the word out among my blogging buddies to see if anyone else has successfully tried that.)
