It's hard to believe that it's already 2019! I don't know about you, but my family still has our Christmas tree and all of the holiday cards up around the house.
I'm just not quite yet ready to tear it down yet this year.
So while my mind is still lingering on the past, I thought I'd check out the posts that got the most traffic in 2018 here on Big Flavors.
It's always fun to see which posts bring the most visitors my way, and I hope that once someone pops in for one recipe post, they'll be encouraged to stick around and find some more to try out down the line.
The top 12 posts from 2018 include some of my family's absolute favorites (like the Steak Fajitas, Melt-in-Your-Mouth Buttermilk Chocolate Cookies, Sausage and Peppers, Italian Cream Cheese and Ricotta Cheesecake, and Instant Pot Braised Lamb Shanks with Tomato.
It also includes two of the recipes that I've prepared as part of my new series of live cooking videos over on my Facebook page: Ricotta Cookies and Falafel-Spiced Chickpea Flatbreads.
