Top 10 Blog Posts + Recipes of 2025

January 14, 2026 by Julie 1 Comment

It’s that time of year when I do a deep dive into what worked well and what didn’t on my blog, social media spaces, etc. the prior year. It’s always so interesting for me to see what you guys liked, what fell flat, what efforts of mine were worth my time and what I should probably let go of in the future. However, I say all of this to say I am who I am and there are some things that take my time — day in the life blog posts and chatty share-whatever-I-want-to blog posts — that never gain a lot of long-term traction but that I’ll never let go of because I love writing them and they bring me joy. I think that is important as still, 15+ year of blogging later, sitting down to blog and simply chat with you guys, whether it’s something lighthearted or something deeper, is still my very, very favorite thing to do in this space.

That being said, Google sure doesn’t like those kind of blog posts so you won’t see them claiming top spots when it comes to my most popular blog posts of the year. This make sense to me (I mean no one is Googling a day in the life blog post from 4 years ago, ya know?) so you’ll see mostly content that’s evergreen and of interest year-round claiming the top spots. I’ve actually poured some more effort into updating old blog content for SEO behind the scenes which seems to be paying off in terms of maximizing some of my old content for Google search. Of course, I am fully expecting this could change anytime (especially with AI taking over the world and massively impacting bloggers) but with more than a decade of blogging under my belt, I’m more than used to the internet’s crazy ways and the way trends, content and, well, everything can change seemingly overnight.

Aaand that was a heck of a long segue to introduce the 2025 top blog posts of the year! I have the top blog posts categorized by recipes (which claimed almost every single one of the top spots) and other miscellaneous blog content. It was interesting for me to see cottage cheese recipes and chicken marinades perform well in this space as well as travel content and Amazon and gifting content. (I was honestly shocked to see my Gift Guide for Her claim a top spot since I just published it in November. That post apparently worked hard behind the scenes!) If you have any requests for blog posts you’d like to see or content you’d like to see more of in 2026, please let me know in the comments section of this post.

Hope you’re all having a great 2026 so far!

    I love all your kid tips, tricks, and recommendations—please keep them coming! The “on the boys’ plates” part of your week of dinner posts are really helpful for inspiration. Would you be willing to share your approach to snacks and desserts for your kids, and how it’s changed over the years as they’ve gotten older? It feels like it can be tricky to get mostly nourishing foods in them while also helping them establish a positive (neutral?) relationship with food, especially when schools, sports, and other events are filled with so many sugary treats. It’s always helpful to learn from other moms, and I’d love to hear what works for you (especially since, from the outside, it looks like you’ve found a healthy balance for your family).
