Top 10 Stop Lookin’ Get Cookin’ Recipes and a Birthday Giveaway
It’s been one year already since I started this blog. Thank you for visiting and reading and trying the recipes. Without readers like you, this blog would have been gone long ago, like in, 11 months ago.
Without you, there wouldn’t be fun gift packs to give away. Now don’t go getting’ all too excited. I can’t afford to give away trips to exotic places or a brand new kitchen, but, I can afford to give away some fun things you will use this upcoming holiday season in your kitchen. Keep reading and at the end, you’ll see what you can win by leaving me a comment.
I was a little surprised by a few of the recipes that made the Top 10 list of most looked at recipes. Now think of this as in a David Letterman Top 10. Imagine Martha Stewart or The Pioneer Woman or Emeril announcing these. Or – if you want, you can image George Clooney or Ryan Reynolds or Sophia Vargas. Whatever works for you. Got that vision in your head – good! So here we go.
# 10. Seasoned Deviled Eggs – Good for any occasion. Pot lucks especially.
# 9. Refreshing Oreo Brownie – Excellent choice. One of my favorite desserts!
# 8. Cheese Stuffed Pasta Shells – Oh baby. Pasta and cheese. You can’t go wrong here!
# 7. Super Easy Low Fat Fudge – Really? You can make fudge low fat and super easy? Really! You can!
# 6. Whipped Chocolate Ganache – Many of you never knew you could whip ganache but now you know exactly how to do it.
# 5. Homemade Mac and Cheese – Hmmm. Comfort food.
# 4. Chicken Strips – This one surprised me but in a good way. You’ll love you some chicken with this recipe.
# 3. Ladybug, Duck and Bunny Pretzels – I knew this one was a good one. They are too darn cute!
# 2. Cheesy Spinach and Bacon Nacho Dip – This is man enough for any party.
And the # 1 recipe is … Peanut Butter Buttercream Frosting – Yes! Yes! Yes! I’ll have what she’s having!
So there it is – your Top 10. Can’t wait to see what this next year’s Top 10 will be!

Wife, mom, business owner, volunteer, lover of chocolate, procrastinator of cleaning, experiencing life in my 40’s and not putting off to tomorrow what I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I stop lookin’ and get cookin’ in all areas of life.
My favorite was the carrot pound cake (the carrot in the jar) – I showed it to my kids and of course we had to immediately try it – the kids had a blast (of course they didn’t have to clean up after) 🙂
LOVE your blog ~ all your ideas are fun and amazing 🙂
I love David Letterman and went with his voice while reading through the Top Ten. Looking forward to another year of great ideas!
Love your blog and following you on facebook! I love reading about food and trying your delicious recipes too! I look forward to see what you have in store for the holiday season.
Love watching you on WKBT morning show, you are so patient with Bill……I imagined David Letterman reading off the top ten, with a drum roll in between!
I imagined family and friends would enjoy the recipes.
I love watching you on WKBT morning show with Bill and Jennifer, look forward to it, they should have you on more often:) As for your top ten they all look delicious:) Much better then David Letterman’s top ten anytime:)
I love the recipes and the beautiful photos, but my favorite part of the blog is the witty writing. It always makes me smile! As for who I thought of…a group of friends I don’t see often enough, sitting around a kitchen island listing their favorites.
I imagined the Pioneer Woman – Ree Drummond. Simple and great tasting recipes. Love your blog!
I imagined Bill Graul reading these fabulous recipes! 😉
I think the person or persons to read your top 10 should be Bill and Jennifer from WKBT. My kids and I love seeing you on there.
I preferred to think of George Clooney, because he is good looking. LOL I enjoy reading your blog! Thank you for the chance for the goodies 🙂
It reminded me of all the people I work with because these are the majority of the foods that are included in our monthly potlucks.
Thanks for all of your wonderful recipes! So easy and cute! I love watching you on Channel 8. I was imagining my kids and how they would LOVE some of the recipes. Thank you!
I was imagining a family gathering in which you brought all of those yummy creations for us to sample, especially the oreo dessert and peanut butter buttercream. Love ya!
I was imagining all the food lovers drooling over that mac n’ cheese
I imagined you reading it, Kendra. I’m thinking the cheesy dip will be made in our house soon!
I was thinking about making all the good things I got to read about every Wednesday.
I just imagined myself reading the top ten. How boring is that?! 🙂
Great job Kendra, as always! I’d like to hear Mark Harmon reading the top ten. George Clooney would be right up there too!
I was thinking of the chocolate cupcakes with the pnut butter cups in them with the great pnut buttercream frosting. They were a hit at Megan’s grad party. And then there it was, #1! 🙂
Made me think of my honey, who put bacon in my devised eggs for me 🙂
David Letterman!
I went along with everyone else, David Letterman, too many commercials for his top ten!!!!
Made me think of my 4 year old granddaughter, Keira. She absolutely loves Mac and Cheese and also desserts! Yummy 😉
Love your blog. Always anxious to see what you have created
I can imagine myself reading this Top Ten. I have always loved to read and I think I would do a pretty good job for you with all these wonderful recipes 🙂
Kendra – “Happy Birthday” Next comes the “terrible two’s” – what are you going to do??? 🙂
I can imagine Guy Fieri reading this!!
I imagined myself reading this to my husband and picturing him with that you’re annoying me look because all you’re reading off is recipes. UNTIL, I get to the Refreshing Oreo Brownie – in which we would insist I make ASAP! 🙂
I love watching you on the morning show with Bill and Jennifier, when my kids watch with us they want the recipes to try at home, so we go to the blog to check it out all together. Way better than letterman’s top ten.
I can imagine Jennifer and Bill from wkbt morning news reading this and Bill doing what he does best!
Of course I think of myself and baking one of those yummy recipes you posted.
I could just hear Paula Dean reading off this list, she loves good down home cookin. Love recipies that are easy and are that feel good kind of food.
I can see me in the kitchen trying all these recipes!!
I pictured you. We had SOOO much fun at our workshops at your house. It makes me miss Oda so much more. She´s back in Norway, but I still remember our fun workshops like yesterday. Especially trying to get our cupcake bouquets home. I hope you find a little time to offer more people the fun classes 🙂
I was thinking of my family at thanksgiving &how much they would love the Oreo cookie deesert
I can see several of these recipes being tried on my family! Wished We lived closer to take some of your classes! I’d probably be there all the time!
I imagine Paula Deen reading the top ten…and having these delicious recipes featured on her show!
I imagined two things. One…I’m strying to eat healthy and some of those wouldn’t be good for me. Two…just like the things my mom used to make when I was younger.
Love your blog, you are a great teacher!! So of course I imagined YOU reading the list!!!
when I hear top ten I always think of Dave Letterman. Thank you Kendra for writing this blog. We have enjoyed your stories and recipes. 😉
Believe it or not, I heard the announcer from The Price is Right! Come on down! I absolutely love reading your blogs and mouth-watering recipes. Keep up the great work!
The Muppets’ Swedish Chef. lol! I really need to get away from my kids more often! Oye!
I imagined my kids who would want me to try every one of these recipes this week if possible:). Great blog Kendra! Keep up the good work.
