Hello, Reader, Calm me nosey, but I think it's so interesting to know which posts get the most traffic on different blogs. Sometimes, it's something totally random that you wouldn't expect and other times, it's a post you definitely didn't know about and absolutely should! At the end of every year, I like to take stock of which posts got the most traffic on my own blog, and just had to share with you. Do any of these surprise you? ๐ Most Popular Posts of 202510. Dill Salt I'm honestly not sure why this one is so popular, but hey, I'll take it! It's a nice way to use up leftover fresh dill, especially if you're growing it this year.
โ 9. Vanilla Bean Paste Yep, you can make this baking essential at home! My recipe uses just three ingredients, including vanilla extract and spent vanilla beans.
โ 8. Vanilla Simple Syrup Infusing real vanilla bean into your simple syrup adds so much flavor and richness! I'm not too surprised by this one at all.
โ 7. Honey Wheat Sourdough Bread This is one of those recipes that always turns out great. Soft, tender, and slightly sweet with a nutty whole wheat flavor!
โ 6. Setting Up a Homesteading Kitchen If you want to cook from scratch and preserve the harvest, you really need to make sure you have the right equipment on hand. This post guides you through what you'll need to make it easier to get organized.
โ 5. How to Make Whipped Honey This super simple technique makes your honey thick and creamy, like a cloud of sweet marshmallow fluff. Not surprised by this one! I also include flavor variations, which most people don't do.
โ 4. Cardamom Scones I don't want to toot my own horn on these ones, but I totally understand why they're so popular. The mixture of homemade cardamom extract and cardamom sugar plus super soft and tender scones...delicately spiced, aromatic, buttery, and sweet. So good!
โ 3. DIY Baking Powder This one tends to spike before each holiday, which I assume means people are running out of baking powder from all their holiday baking. Always happy to help!
โ 2. Slow Living Hobbies This post has been one of my most popular ones for years. Really, it's just a good list of hobbies and activities to try to slow down this year.
โ 1. What is an Ingredient Household? I'm definitely surprised by this one! I published it last January, and had NO idea it would explode on social media and Google. I get thousands of people coming just for this post every month!
โ Honorable Mentions These ones almost made the list for 2025. Maybe for 2026?
Any surprises here? Did you find any posts you hadn't seen before? I'd love to hear what you think! |

Hello, Reader, Whew, what a whirlwind! This month truly flew by. How were your holidays? Now that the chaos of Christmas is over, I'm ready to sink into winter. This is the best time to focus on rest, and as someone who practices seasonal slow living, this is an essential part of my annual rhythm. I'll even be taking the next week off from posting new recipes and the regular hamster wheel of content creation to get some time away from my phone and social media and spend more time with my...
Hello, Reader, Happy Christmas Eve Eve!I made a spur of the moment decision three weeks ago to post 24 different homemade holiday gifts this month - one for every day leading up to Christmas.

But I just published the final recipe, and wanted to give you the FULL list all in one handy spot. 1.Hot Chocolate in a Jar 2. Beeswax Candles 3. Flavored Whipped Honey 4. Wooden...
Hello, Reader, Winter Solstice officially occurs tomorrow morning (7:03 am my time), and I think that's close enough to start feeling excited about it!That means we are about to enter the longest night of the year, and after this point, we will gradually get 1-2 minutes of daylight every day until we reach the spring equinox. We made it! The longest, darkest part of the year will be over tonight; then, we'll be moving back into the light. I have a few posts about this that you may enjoy, like...
