It’s always fun – and, admittedly, a little weird – to look back at the recipes that resonated over the course of a year. And this year is no exception. For instance, this is a food blog that’s dedicated to showing that vegetarians and meat-eaters can live together in peace, and I post a lot of main-dish meals because of that. But 4 of the 10 most-viewed recipes? Sauces and condiments! I suppose vegetarians and meat-eaters alike like to dip and adorn their foods, no matter what they are. So, you know. It works out.

Kitchen Treaty Food Blog's Top 10 Recipes of 2013

The majority of my traffic comes from Google searches, so really what this means is that lots of people like to make their own condiments just like I do, and so they searched for a recipe and came up with one of mine. Yay!

Also, recipes that I posted closer to the first of the year are, for obvious reasons, more likely to have been viewed more, and I guess I was on a sauce kick in early 2013.

Anyway, here are my top 10 most-viewed recipes of 2013. And, if you scroll on through, you’ll also see a list of my own 10 favorites, too.

Hasta la vista, 2013. You were a good year!
