Panning The Globe's Top Best Recipes of the Year: The 10 most popular recipe of 2013!
Hi everyone and happy 2014. For many of us the end of a year represents a clean slate - an opportunity to reflect on the past year and step into the new one with the insight and resolve to make positive changes. I would love to share some of my resolutions with you but I'm reluctant to because I've been reading up on how to make resolutions successful and, contrary to popular belief, one of the major pieces of advice is not to go around telling people what you're going to accomplish. Apparently, when you get positive feedback for announcing your goals, it tricks your brain into feeling a sense of gratification that diminishes your resolve to actually change. So suffice it to say - I'm starting out the new year trying really hard to resist overindulging in all of the tempting leftovers from my New Year's Eve party. And please don't praise me for that or I might just run to the fridge and start pigging out!
In honor of the new year I thought it would be fun to do a little retrospective. My year-end statistics show tremendous growth for Panning The Globe in 2013 - not just in numbers of visitors but also in its global reach, with visitors from 178 of the world's 194 countries! The stats also tell me which were your favorite recipes of the year - so here they are - in order.
