The best recipes of 2013, according to you!

Top 10 Recipes of 2013 (1)

It’s really hard to believe another year has passed. We all say it every year and it’s never any easier to believe. In fact, I think each year that passes makes it that much harder to say and believe… especially as you get older. Right?!

I learned something about you while I was writing this post and compiling the top 10 recipes… you love cheesecake, and desserts in general. It’s basically a 180 from last year’s top 10 list, where primarily soups and other savory items topped the list. If we could have a party with the top 10 from this year and last year, that’d be super amazing and delicious. Start off with an array of soups, pasta and bread, followed by an over the top collection of sweets. I think we’d all be very happy with that kind of food party.

Keeping things short and sweet, so we can of course get to the food… I want to thank each and every one of you for stopping by and being a part of this little world of mine. I appreciate all of your support, without it, Baked by Rachel wouldn’t be what it is today. Have a happy, safe and delicious New Year!

Are you ready for the top 10 recipes of 2013?! Here we go…


10. Buffalo Chicken Nachos


9. Easy Homemade Strawberry Fruit Leather


8. Mini Cookies and Cream Cheesecakes


7. NY Times Chocolate Chip Cookies


6. Mini Santa Hat Cheesecakes


5. Mini Red Velvet Cheesecakes


4. Mini Banana Cheesecakes with Nilla Wafer Crust


3. Perfect S’more Cookies


2. Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownie Bars

And the top recipe of 2013 is…


1. Garlic and Herb Pull Apart Bread

So tell me… was YOUR favorite Baked by Rachel recipe in the top 10?

And because there were SO many recipes this year, here are a few of my favorites that didn’t make this year’s list:

Soft batch pumpkin chocolate chip cookies
Cookies and coffee ice cream
Amish potato rolls
Apple pumpkin gingerbread muffins
Cinnamon swirl bread

    Oh heavens, everything looks great! Since I’m more of a savory gal, I have to say that the buffalo chicken nachos would be my #1! Although you know I have a weakness for those mini cheesecakes of yours -they always look so good!

    • Rachel

      I agree – I’d probably vote savory over sweet most of the time, but not always ;)

  8. Amy @Very Culinary Reply

    I agree with all of those. And I’ll take 2 of each. Or 11.

      haha! Thanks Amy! Happy new year! :)
