What’s Up, Hungry People
There are so many big and exciting things happening on my blog right now that I was surprised to see my recipe counter right at 499 this morning!
I made a big deal out of my 100th post, 200th post, and 300th post, but some how 400th post got lost in the shuffle of #bloggerlife. So many things have changed since my first official post. I started making videos in late 2016 and launched a new series, Know Your Food, on Youtube just this month. Heck, I even went live with my Let’s Cook Live Stream Cooking Show! It’s been a wild ride, and it’s just getting wilder! Trust me when I say, much bigger and better things are on the horizon for The Starving Chef.
So for now, let’s look back at my ALL TIME, MOST POPULAR POSTS EVER!
#15 Chicken Waffles with Maple Sriracha Aioli
People who’ve been around my blog for a while probably know about my chicken waffles obsession. This was the chicken waffle recipe that started it all.
#14 Campfire Cooking – Garlic Shrimp Packets
I may not have ever been camping IRL, but that certainly hasn’t stopped me from mastering cooking over an open fire.
#13 Giant Hostess Ho-Ho Cake
The first time I made a GIANT HO-HO, it was a massive success. And absolutely delicious!
#12 Harry Potter Treacle Tart
Not surprisingly, a Harry Potter recipe made the top 15 list. I’m also mildly obsessed with all things Harry Potter. Naturally, I had to make the favorite dessert of the Boy Who Lived…
#11 Hanky Panky
A classic recipe that my boyfriend and friends had been begging me to make for years…and it’s now one of my go-to appetizers for parties.
#10 Game of Throne’s Direwolf Bread
Another one of my favorite things to do is make Game of Thrones themed recipes the week leading up to the premiere. And with the final season starting up soon, you can bet that I’ll be going all out again this year!
#9 Twisted Tzatziki Pizza
Tzatziki on a pizza!? This gyro-inspired piece of ‘za has been a long-time favorite of mine – and my friends – for years now!
#8 DIY Pizza Pockets
This recipe was one of my first ever to go viral – they are super easy to make and taste just like Pizza Rolls, but bigger!
#7 Avatar: The Last Airbender Fruit Pies
I’ve been a huge fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender since my childhood, so when I was on my 100,001st rewatch-a-thon, I decided to recreate some of my favorite dishes as I imagined them from the show. I did the same thing with The Legend of Korra too!
#6 Bailey’s Irish Cream Soaked Cupcakes
Who doesn’t want to get drunk off a cupcake?
#5 Sous Vide Barbeque Chicken Legs
I’ve been gradually learning how to sous vide anything and everything – this recipe covers my first attempts at using a precision cooker to get the job done.
#4 Healthy Chicken Wraps – Meal Prep Sunday
Back at the beginning of my blogging journey, I was super into meal-prepping. I still am – and to this day, these are my all-time favorite wraps.
#3 Copycat Swensons Galley Boy
Quite possibly my most-searched-for recipe to date is this recipe for an Akron/Cleveland classic: the Galley Boy. With not one but TWO secret sauces, I think I got pretty close to cracking it.
Another copycat recipe to top the list is this recipe for Maid Rites – my mother and her family grew up in the town where they supposedly originated, and they were something I LOVED as a kid!
#1 Copycat Crispitos
The TOP recipe on my blog right now is this recipe for copycat crispitos. They taste spot-on to my memories from high school!
I can’t believe we’ve hit 500 recipes together, Hungry People! From our first post to live streaming cooking shows, it’s been an incredible journey. Each recipe holds a special place in my heart and in your kitchens. I can’t wait to share even more delicious creations with you. Thank you for being part of The Starving Chef family.
I can’t wait to see what’s next for my blog. I’ve learned so much, not only about cooking but about marketing, editing, and filming too. It’s all my passions rolled into one delicious result. Stay tuned for more delicious recipes!
