My perennial top recipe, Apple and Onion Casserole, was knocked down to third place this year. I'm always surprised at the popular reaction to a new recipe. Kugelis is an example. It's one of my favorite "comfort" foods that I grew up with. I never thought viewers would like it, too. Kreplach is another example. But, to be fair, that recipe made it to stumbleupon.com and I got over 1,000 in just one day! (So, please, push that SU submit button!!!)
Food blogs follow a cycle. Right now, we're coming out from the holiday cycle which is the most popular. Viewership will go down a bit now with spikes around holidays such St. Patrick's Day and Easter.
Recipes also follow the seasons. This summer, for example, the recipe for raspberry cake was immensely popular.
People are looking for recipes that are easy, inexpensive, but taste great. That's the theme I see here.
As always, thanks for stopping by. And a special thanks to my viewers in the UK, Canada and Australia!
- 1. Kitchen Bounty: Kreplach How can you go wrong with stuffed pasta? I could easily eat this every week. And they freeze beautifully.
- 2. Kitchen Bounty: Stove-Top Brownies I have three recipes for brownies that I've been meaning to try. But why bother? This one is easy, moist, dense and filled with chocolate.
- 3. Kitchen Bounty: Apple-Onion Casserole This is one of the first recipes I ever posted. And it's still wildly popular. Last month I paired it with Italian sausage and chicken for a winter-hearty wonderful meal: Kitchen Bounty: Chicken with Sausages, Apples & Onions. Speaking of sausages:
- 4. Kitchen Bounty: Homemade Sausages I was really pleased to see these make the top-ten list since I'm rather proud of them. A plastic bag and ground pork is all you need. And the results are incredible. Related is a separate recipe for lamb sausages: Kitchen Bounty: Homemade Lamb Sausages with Feta, Rosemary, Sun-Dried Tomatoes.
- 5. Kitchen Bounty: Kugelis (Potato Pudding) I was thrilled to watch this family-favorite zoom onto the top-ten list. What's not to like? Potatoes, ham or bacon and a dollop of sour cream.
- 6. Kitchen Bounty: Canned Salmon and Rice Casserole I almost didn't post this recipe that I doctored up from an old cookbook. It gets lots of hits on the web-site. As does it's sister recipe for patties: Kitchen Bounty: Canned Salmon Patties. I recently found out that canned salmon has the longest shelf life of any canned meat. So if you are stockpiling for Armageddon, you may want to begin hoarding this.
- 7. Kitchen Bounty: Crescent Roll Cheese Cake Squares Yum! Easy and delicious. Cream cheese, sugar, and pastry.
- 8. Kitchen Bounty: "Craft" Macaroni and Cheese I never tire of making this or adding new combinations of cheese. Rich and satisfying, it's not the stuff from a blue box!
- 9. Kitchen Bounty: Fresh Raspberry Cake Everyone who takes a bite from this light, airy and fruit-studded cake always says the same thing: recipe, please!
- 10. Kitchen Bounty: 4-Hour Roast Chicken This is a favorite of my British and Canadian viewers--as is the raspberry cake.
The following also deserve worth mention and are next in order of popularity:
Kitchen Bounty: Easy Ham and Bean Soup Deelicious!
Kitchen Bounty: Stuffed Cabbage Rolls (Pigs in a Blanket) Yes, they take some time to prepare, but so worth the effort!
Kitchen Bounty: Fines Herbes My favorite herb combination. No kitchen is complete without them.
