Top 10 Recipes of 2013

Tags: Gluten-free, Grain-free, LCHF, Low Carb, Sugar-free

Yes, yes, I know.  I expect for most of you 2013 is a rapidly fading memory already, but before it disappears entirely from view I wanted to share last years Top 10 Recipes of 2013 – the most popular sane recipes and Top 5 most popular non-recipe posts.  I think it will be a good place to start for all you lovely new readers who have joined in the last few weeks since Jonathan’s book burst onto the New York Times Bestsellers List.

For me, 2013 was an interesting year: I changed day jobs twice and bosses thrice – not an approach I recommend although it certainly added some color, not to mention drama, to the proceedings; I travelled to California, Louisiana, Texas, and Georgia;  JB and I reached over 2 million listeners on our Smarter Science of Slim Show; Mr. McHenry joined the Brown house; JB and I shot a two-day creativeLive Smarter Science of Slim workshop, and I published my first 3 delicious and nutritious cookbooks (now 4!)  Phew.  I was also diagnosed with Bipolar II Disorder, but decided early on that I wasn’t going to let any silly old chemical imbalance take me down.

All things considered, it was a most fantastic year and a wildly exciting year and a most exhausting year all at the same time.  Some of the very best bits of 2013 were brought about by you, and I thank you – hand on heart – for all your support and cheering and love and laughter that you add to my life.  There were a few times when you totally pulled me through, and at the risk of sounding a little sappy, I heart you.  2013 would not have been half the year it was without you in it.  Thank you.

It seems you lovely readers were all about breakfasts and snacks in 2013 – staying sane on the go was what you needed – if the Top 10 most popular recipe posts were anything to go by.  Here’s the Top 10 Recipes of 2013.

  • IngridHi Carrie, I stumbled upon your and Bailor’s Calorie Myth podcasts about two months ago, and from there I have been submersing myself in all of it — your recipes, the websites, older podcasts, blogs, and now the Calorie Myth book. I want to thank you for your energy, which is truly contagious. Also, you openness and authenticity, and human-ness. Truly admirable characteristics that you bring to this whole movement of uncovering the simple(ish!) truths about eating and exercising and life. Not to mention, your creativity. Such beautiful creations with wholesome, healthy food! I would love to ramble on and ask a ton of questions, but mostly I wanted to thank! Your energy is truly contagious. I am grateful. Best, IngridReplyCancel

    • carrieIngrid, thank you! You made my day – it is great to hear that my work resonates with people and even helps them. It’s why I do what I do :-)ReplyCancel

  • ErinI can’t believe your leek and cauliflower soup is not in this top 10 list. So simple, yet so divine. I have shared that recipe maybe 10 times now. Never any leftovers. Thanks for creating so many yummy SANE foods. :)ReplyCancel

  • SarahI have read the Calorie Myth and listened to a couple of the podcasts. I love the Chocolate Yogurt Supreme!ReplyCancel

    • carrieMe too, Sarah! Love all the chocolate goodness!ReplyCancel

  • Top SANE Recipes 2014 » Carrie Brown | Life in the SANE lane[…] Super fascinating to me this year is that the Top SANE Recipes of 2014 are almost identical to the Top SANE Recipes of 2013.  Now that may be because I wasn’t able to do a lot of recipe developing this year and […]ReplyCancel
