Happy First Birthday, Little Blog!

Just a year ago I decided to take the proverbial plunge and start TWV?- you can read my first post here. As you can see, I wasn’t overly confidant that anyone would care what I had to say, ha ha. But as I look back over all the posts I’ve shared, the 220,000+ hits I’ve gotten, and most importantly- all the readers and other bloggers that I’ve “met”, I’m so happy that I took the chance. As every blogger knows, a lot of time and effort goes into this endeavor- especially if you post with regularity. Honestly, it’s also a lot of fun! And sometimes I get comments and emails that really move me, and make it all worth while.

To commemorate my first year, I thought I’d do some superlatives (yes, just like in your high school yearbook) to highlight a few favorite recipes (and maybe some you missed!) (Just click on the picture to view that post & recipe)

Most Popular:

Most Secretly Spicy:

Most Transformed:

Most Finger-Lickin’ Good:

I also wanted to share a few other tidbits with you:

Most common search phrase: Some variation of “chickpea burger”

Strangest search phrase: “Does your onion bread look like my status update?”

Most surprising-that-it-led-to-TWV-of-all-blogs search phrase: “Spaghetti”

And a huge THANK YOU to all my wonderful readers, I love you all! 🙂

    This is the first time I’m coming across your blog, but it’s fantastic! The name is very suiting, looking at these recipes you’d never guess half of them were vegan.
