2025 was my 15th year publishing recipes on Happy Healthy Mama. When I started this blog, I was feeding a toddler, and now I’m feeding two teenagers (oh–and a husband, too). A lot has changed in those 15 years, but one thing has stayed the same. My goal is to feed my family a wide variety of healthy foods, that fuel their bodies well, and taste delicious.
I’m a dedicated lifelong learner with an open mind, so my definition of what “healthy foods” are has evolved over the last 15 years, as have my recipes. Some things don’t change. I’m sure I’ll always think, for example, vegetables are good to eat in abundance. It’s interesting, nonetheless, to see how my recipes have evolved with me.
I always enjoy reflecting on the year as it ends, and that includes looking back on all the recipes I published. These were the top 10 most popular recipes on my site this year. Let’s count them down!
