Best of 2015

[ssba]

It’s time for my favorite post of the year!!  I love finding out which posts have been reader favorites!  It’s always fun to see which ones make the cut into the top ten posts of the year here on Diary of a Recipe Collector.  Plus, you guys really liked a nice variety of things this year.  The top ten has everything from desserts (but of course!) to breakfasts to appetizers and finally some pretty good entrees as well.  I love all of these recipes too, so I can totally see why they made the cut!  Hope you enjoy and thanks for celebrating with me!  For recipes, just click on the links above the photos.

Best of 2015 on Diary of a Recipe Collector - Top ten recipe posts of the year.

 10.  Hot Pressed BBQ Chicken Wrap
Y’all know I’m obsessed with wraps, so it’s only fair one of them made it into the top ten.  These were so good, and I can’t wait for some good grilling weather so I can make them again!

1.  Boston Cream Pie Poke Cake
I made this cake several times this year to tweak the recipe, and get it just right!  I could literally eat the entire pan by myself.  My non-dessert eating husband grabbed the pan and started eating it too!  I can totally see why it made it to the top spot!

    Jaren, I pinned and printed and remembered back to one of the first few recipes of yours that I had printed, (didn’t pin cuz had no clue what it was, this was way back in March, wow.) The strawberry wet cake, and the Boston Cream Pie Poke Cake. The wet cake.was.yummy.The poke cake was funny, as I had started a binder of poke cakes, and had a similar recipe, maybe a few. BUT, yours I kept because of the frosting! The hubs favorite thing of all time, are my eclairs. Which had become a trial.and error thing 20yeas ago.! The frosting is very similar to yours, thick and firm. Anyway, so the poke cake sorta gives the vibe of the eclair? But, WAYYYY less work! You are so wonderful, so happy to have discovered your blog! Thanks and Happy New Year!
