December 2011 Recipe Roundup

I decided to try something slightly different and only compile stats for the previous 52 weeks of meal plans in these posts instead of compiling data since the beginning of the blog.  In theory, this should generate more movement as well as a more current list.  Much to my surprise, the list still didn’t change that much! However, it was interesting to see that most of these “most cooked (recipes” were only cooked about 4 times in the entire year.  That’s pretty cool, I think! 

Since it’s the end of the year, I also included a list of the most popular (recipes according to visitor counts.

Thanks to all of my visitors who have made this another great year of blogging for me.  I appreciate all of the hits and continue to enjoy this recipe-sharing hobby of mine!

November 2011 Recipe Roundup

Just a bit of shifting in this month’s top ten.  I try to avoid making these dishes, but I don’t always succeed!  They are our favorites for good reasons, you see. 

I feel like I didn’t really to that much cooking this month so I was surprised to find seven neat new (recipes that I wanted to give a shout-out to.  I guess I didn’t do too badly in the cooking realm during November after all.

October 2011 Recipe Roundup

No change at all in the top ten this month, but I did cook some delicious new (recipes that deserve a shout out!  (I’m not sure whether I should only pick these from (recipes that I posted during the month or (recipes I cooked during the month.  I’ll probably stick with the posted option because it’s easier to keep track of that way.) 

Most Cooked Recipes

August 2011 Recipe Roundup

August was a pretty crummy month for cooking for me as evidenced by the three new (recipes posted throughout the month.  Lots of revisiting old (recipes, eating out, and otherwise slacking in the cooking department.  There was a little bit of movement in the top 10, though, and one standout recipe in the three I managed to try. 

Most Cooked Recipes

Tetrazzini

July 2011 Recipe Roundup

Not much movement in the top 10 this month.  I made a few of these during the month, so that just reinforces their claim to the status.  Not many of the new (recipes I made this month really stood out but that might be because of my general lack of enthusiasm.

May 2011 Recipe Roundup

Not a lot of change here and I sort of failed at my goal of avoiding cooking any of my top ten during May.  I guess there’s a reason these (recipes are in the top ten – because we like them so much!   However, I actually posted 13 new (recipes in May and a few of them stand out.  Many of those stand outs involve asparagus. 

Enjoy!

April 2011 Recipe Roundup

There is a bit of change in the top 10 this month, but I think that’s because I did some editing and cleaning up of old meal plan posts to remove extra links that might have been throwing off the counts.

Mom’s Chicken
Tetrazzini
Chicken Enchiladas

I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve posted a whopping four new (recipes during the month of April.  I’ve made six others, I just haven’t had the chance to post them yet.  Of the four (recipes I did post in April, none particularly stand out, so I’m afraid that there are no neat new (recipes to share with you during this roundup.
