Top Ten Recipes of 2012

It's that time of year again for a round-up of my 10 most popular posts. Did 2012 fly by as fast for you as it did for me? 

It was quite a year for The Yummy Life. This little ol' blog grew beyond my wildest dreams in 2012, and that is entirely thanks to YOU, my Yummy readers and friends. You visited my site, left comments, shared Yummy with your friends, liked Yummy on Facebook, pinned Yummy to your Pinterest boards, tried my recipes and come back and commented again. I am so grateful for each and every one of you. Thank you so much for joining me and the millions of others who have been part of The Yummy Life community in the past year.

You're part of a big world of Yummy readers. It thrills me beyond measure to have so many Yummy friends from around the world. Readers from 214 countries visited The Yummy Life in 2012. That is so cool, it gives me chills. It means that when you are reading my blog, you can be certain that someone across the globe is reading it at the same time. When you leave a comment or share a tip, others who speak a different language are likely to read what you write via an online translator. The internet may have its downside, but what I love about it is how it connects our world. We have a big, wide wonderful world of people who are more alike than they are different, and The Yummy Life community is one example of that. Thank you for being a part of it.

In case you're curious, here are the 20 countries who visited Yummy the most in 2012 (in descending order): United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Mexico, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Netherlands, India, Brazil, Malaysia, Spain, Italy, South Africa, France, Ireland, Poland, Japan...plus 194 more countries!
