Top 10 recipes of 2016 from Downshiftology.com

We’ve quickly come to the end of another year, haven’t we? And it sure has gone by fast, though I’ve been hearing from friends and family alike that they’re happy to say goodbye to 2016 and welcome 2017 with open arms. What about you?

2016 was a great year for Downshiftology with lots of shifts, changes and huge growth. This website has morphed a bit over the last two years from a wellness blog, to wellness + food, to now WAY more food…with a little travel + healthy living (never-ending passions of mine).

In fact, it’s been the food and recipes on this site that helped catapult massive growth this year. Yep, content on Downshiftology was viewed more than 1.2 million times – wow! And I’m honestly humbled and honored that you guys come back day after day to search for new recipes and read my sometimes lengthy (and I’m sure blabbering) posts. Thank you, thank you!

So without further ado, here are the top 10 recipes that YOU have viewed the most this year. And to my subscribers, I’ll be popping you an email next week with all the exciting plans in store for 2017!
