It was a great year on the CRAFTZINE blog for foodies as well as those just casually looking for an easy meal, a homemade gift from the kitchen, or a new main to serve to the fam. I’ve collected some of our more popular recipes — those that took off on Facebook, really excited the editors, or made a splash on StumbledUpon. I think it’s an awesome list, and I plan on making all these recipes in the new year.
A few words of warning — going through this list may make you extremely hungry, thirsty, or both. It’s best to sit down with a pad and paper so you can start your shopping list for the ingredients you’ll soon be craving.
