Top 16 of 2016 and Cheers to the New Year!

December 30, 2016

Before we dive into the new year, today I’m taking a look back at all the top blog posts of 2016! Check out the Top 16 of 2016, plus some of my personal favorites! Did your favorite make the list?

Top 16 of 2016
Whelp! Another year has come and gone! I am so thankful and feel so blessed for all the things 2016 has brought! Sure, there have been trials and challenges (life wouldn’t be what it is without overcoming challenges), but mostly there has been a lot of fun, a TON of laughter, new adventures and memories made, and of course, lots of delicious eats!

As I sit back and reflect on my personal and professional life in 2016 and plan new goals and adventures in the year ahead, I like to take a look back at all the content I shared here on Kitchen Concoctions. This helps me as I plan new content and new features for the blog in the new year and inspires me to keep moving ahead with this little place of mine.

Honestly, I was kind of surprised by this year’s top blog posts. Over half of them were non-recipe posts and consisted craft tutorials, travels, date night ideas and Austin area fun and good eats. This is exciting as I love bringing you a variety of content and am happy to see that you all love a variety of content too!

BUT, don’t worry all you foodies, this will always be a food blog, so I still plan to bring you lots of delicious recipes in the next year!

Below are the top 16 blog posts I shared in 2016. Below that you will find some of my personal favorite recipes from this past year as well as some “Oldie but Goodie” recipes that continue to be some of the top posts year after year!
Did your favorite Kitchen Concoctions’ recipe make this list? Please share your favorites and what you would like to see more of in 2017 in the comments below!
