Happy 2015!
Almost.
Vegas and I escaped to Lake Tahoe for NYE and some other shenanigans, so today’s WIAW post is a look back on the top posts of 2014.
Thank you to everyone for helping make 2014 one of the best yet. I’ve loved making new friends, learning a lot, and eating a TON of (strange but) good food.
Without further adieu, here are the top 10 posts you thought were good (and likely a little strange) in 2014.
Top 10 in 2014
10. 3 Surprisingly Quick Meals
Here are three meals that I threw together quickly when what I had on hand. They look fancy-ish, but they were incredibly easy (and fun) to make: Stuffed French Toast Egg Wrap, Squachos (nachos… but with squash), and a Pressed Bison Wrap.
9. 5 Benefits of Drinking Water
I bet you didn’t know a few of these benefits! Drinking is good. Especially on New Year’s.
8. Cleaning Up My Act
The one where I decided to do (what has become) my annual cleanse. And I made some delicious puddin’.
7. Spaghetti Squash & Cauliflower Gratin
I’ve over-done foods before, but I don’t think I’ll ever get enough spaghetti squash. Or cauliflower. Knock on wood.
6. Morning Cocktail
I get that this is probably only popular because it was a giveaway post, but I’m including it because it features my daily staple – a Morning Cocktail.
5. Confessions of a Child-Free Woman
While I may have to bite my tongue at a couple of things I said (I’m quite happily sharing my food these days), this is my favorite post of 2014.
4. Banana Chocolate Chip Protein Muffins
These are my favorite breakfast muffins. I’ve done ’em with banana, plantain, and pumpkin. All good. And they freeze perfectly!
3. Marshmallow Chocolate Chip
The cottage cheese in this microwave cake warms up and makes a gooey marshmallow-like filling. Mmmmm…
2. Food Intolerance
I did really well with keeping away from the foods I learned my body is sensitive to… and then I fell of the wagon. Hard. Since I’m going to start competing again this year, I’m going to bring this back this month. It really did help!
1. Easy Oat Flatbread
This was the most popular post of 2014! And probably the easiest!
And that’s what I ate in 2014. Don’t forget to check out Jenn’s link up!

I’m beside myself excited for 2015 – it’s a year to celebrate and enjoy this crazy, unpredictable, beautiful life. ♥

AwesomelyOZ says
I need to start drinking your morning junk – My cholesterol is off the chain. Genetic so nothing I’ve personally done to myself. My doctor is all worried bah. She said diet won’t help but doesn’t hurt to try and chug something that may improve it!? Great list of faves lady! Hope you and Vegas and whomever else have a wonderful New Years Eve celebration!! Happy 2015 Laura! -Iva
Laura says
Doooooo it!!! It’s the best – I swear!
Emily @ Sweets and Beets says
Ahh, now i need to go back and try all your recipes! 🙂 Happy New Year, Laura. Here’s to a great 2015!
Laura says
Happy New Year to you too! Let me know if you do try anything – I love to see all the twists!
Amanda - RunToThefinish says
LOVE love love all your crazy food because it’s not the overly fancy things I see everywhere and know I can’t replicate!
