Happy New Year! Wishing you a wonderful beginning to 2018. Outside of my chitchat on Twitter, I have stayed mostly silent since right before Christmas. The opening stretch of December is unquestionably the most hectic stretch of my year, which is why I usually sink into a couch-potato mode after Christmas and gradually come back to life once the new year rolls in. This year followed the same pattern. The downtime has felt refreshing, yet I am eager for what 2018 holds and ready to ramp things up.
A bit of looking back is essential when charting the months to come, so I am sticking with my usual practice of gathering together the top-performing posts on About a Mom, which once again all turn out to be recipes. Before diving into the ten favorite recipes of 2017 on About a Mom, have a peek at what drew readers in earlier years: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. You will spot a handful of dishes that land on these lists every single year.

It never ceases to surprise me how strongly some of the older recipes from my early blogging days still perform. I keep promising myself that I will refresh the photos in those posts, yet I can never seem to carve out the time. Despite that, they keep racking up circulation on Pinterest and Facebook. Perhaps I should simply leave them as they are?
