When it comes to popularity, some recipes just have an unfair advantage. They were made earlier in the year and so have had more time to be viewed and shared by the general public. Or they get picked up and shared by a big name site or a big name blogger and so they get greater exposure. Or they are made with chocolate and peanut butter. There is no denying that chocolate and peanut butter is always an unfair advantage. So some recipes are just more popular than others and today I am counting down the 13 Most Popular Recipes of All Day I Dream About Food.

But because I know that chance and timing and other factors can affect a recipe’s popularity, I thought I’d also give out 13 Honourable Mentions. Recipes I love that didn’t quite make the pageview cut-off. Some of them I love because they just taste so damn good. Some of them I love because they were innovative and unique. And some I love because they have wonderful memories attached to them. There are probably a lot more I could throw in there for any number of reasons, but I had to limit myself somewhere.
