#10 Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie – Oh yah, one of my favorites too! I don’t make this smoothie nearly enough! It really does taste like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!
#9 Chicken Noodle Soup in a Crockpot – This is one of our family favorites. My Husband just shines when I make this for him. Plus I love that it is in a Crockpot, it’s so easy. Come home from work and soup is done! Perfect!
#8 Individual Baked Oatmeal Cups – This is a fun recipe! You can top your oatmeal with whatever you like. It freezes beautifully and is perfect for eating on the go. I warm mine up in the microwave for a few seconds and off I go!
#7 Peanut Butter Cheesecake Dip – Oh man I forgot about this recipe! This recipe is super easy, only 24 calories for 2 tablespoons and is great for dipping fruit in! I am so making this right away!
#6 Oatmeal Pumpkin Breakfast Smoothie – This is another fabulous recipe! It’s filling, full of pumpkin flavor and perfect for breakfast. I have made this a few times this Fall.
#5 Peanut Butter Cookie Hummus – Love this recipe too! It’s guilt-free and really tastes like peanut butter cookies. Plus its super easy to make, and goes great with bananas and pretzels.
#4 Southwestern Chicken Soup Revamped – I love this soup! It’s one of my all time favorite recipes, but I am sure you know that. I kind of have a thing for Mexican or Southwestern flair. Matter of fact, this one is going to be made today! I am craving Mexican!
#3 Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies – This is such a wonderful little cookie, talk about guilt-free, it’s only 41 calories a cookie. It’s made with oatmeal, applesauce, coconut oil and maple syrup. I can see why these made the top 3 recipes.
#2 Zucchini Almond Bread – This is such a perfect bread to make int he Fall. It’s moist, healthy and loaded with flavor. This recipe was one that I thought was going to be a flop and it turned way better than I thought! I must have done something right for this recipe to make the top #2 recipes of 2013.
This is my most popular recipe of 2013! Drum Roll Please…. ! Oreo Cookies and Cream Smoothie! This was a random recipe that I made at the spur of a moment. I now make this all of the time for my family and myself. It really does taste like your drinking a glass of Oreo Cookies!

I’m loving all of these “top recipes of the year” post from my favorite bloggers. It’s great to be able to go back through and see all of their greatest hits, especially if I didn’t discover the blog until later on in the year. The oatmeal cups are calling my name!
Speaking of oatmeal, do you have any tips for making smoothies with oats? I’m going to start experimenting with that next week. I have old-fashioned oats which I’m hoping will work. Should I soak them first, or just throw them in? Any help would be appreciated!
Hi Lori! What I have been doing is adding about 1/4 – 1/3 cup of oats in about 1/2 cup of yogurt and then adding some milk to it, then soaking it for a couple of hours or overnight. The longer the oats sit in a liquid such as yogurt and milk, it gets creamy smooth. I have also made a smoothie just throwing some oats in it, and it turns out good, but more gritty, you really have to process it. If you can, let the oats sit for at least an hour before making your smoothie. Oh and Old Fashion Oats work great. Here are a few recipes: http://www.peanutbutterandpeppers.com/2013/05/27/berry-oatmeal-breakfast-smoothie/
