Top 10 Recipes of 2014

Happy 2015!   I hope you had a great end to your year.   My husband and I had a lovely night and we are much looking forward to a happy and healthy 2015.  To help ring in the new year I wanted to share my top 10 most popular recipes from last year.

Is it any surprise that two of the top 10 are cupcakes?  Not really.   I love making them and my readers like to read about them.  I am surprised that one of the top 10 recipes is a vegan recipe, that another is a breakfast recipe, and yet another is a salad!  All very surprising as those are not usually the most popular recipes on Hezzi-D's Books and Cooks.

So without further adieu, here are the top 10 recipes from 2014.

10.  Jalapeno Cheddar Beer Dip

A delicious dip made with Jalapenos, Cheddar cheese, and beer that is great for dipping bread, pretzels, or chips.

9.  Red Velvet Zebra Cake 

A vanilla cake and red velvet cake layered to make fun zebra stripes is great for a party.

8.  Brown Butter Grilled Peach Cupcakes

Cupcakes made with brown butter and sweet grilled peaches make for a delightful summer or fall dessert.

7.  Caribbean Cobb Salad with Spicy Pineapple Dressing

A fun twist on the traditional Cobb using chicken, bacon, mangoes, and avocado with a spicy pineapple dressing.

6.  Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Crescent Wraps

Bacon, eggs, and cheese wrapped in Crescent rolls and baked to a golden brown makes for a hearty breakfast.

5.  Bacon and Shrimp Pasta Toss

Bacon, Shrimp, and Spinach tossed with pasta in a tasty garlic butter sauce.

4.  Sauteed Chicken with Caramelized Onions and Dubliner Sauce

This is one of my favorite entrees this year.   Sauteed chicken served on a bed of couscous with caramelized onions, spinach, and a rich and creamy Dubliner cheese sauce.

3.  Mu Shu Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Chicken and vegetables wrapped in romaine lettuce for a healthy main dish.

2.  Vegan Hot Pretzel Challah Bread 

This is currently my all time favorite bread.   Made in a vegan style, this bread tastes like a fresh baked hot pretzel coming out of the oven.

1.  Pink Moscato Cupcakes

You can't go wrong with sweet and bubbly Pink Moscato baked into your vanilla cupcakes!
