Happy New Year! As we end one year and head into another, it’s always good to take stock. For me here on gfe, that means looking back at the past year and seeing what caught the eye of you and other gfe readers. The standard year-end recipe roundup shared by bloggers is the “top 20,” but I decided to include 5 more because they were also big hits with you all. In addition, many of your favorites were actually recipe roundups, mainly in the bread category, so I thought you needed a little more variety. So here are the Top 25 gluten-free recipe posts from this past year grouped by Breads, Main Dishes, Essentials, and Desserts. The actual popularity ranking is shown after the post title. Click on the title to go to the recipes.

Oh yummm! Great round up of recipes Shirley! I must give your pound cake a try – something I have not had since going gluten free many years ago. 🙂
Shirley Braden says
Hi Ina–I’m catching up on comments! Thanks so much, dear. I know you’d love the pound cake–or your version of it. 😉

Alisa Fleming says
WOW! What a round up. This is going to take some time to go through. I’ve already added some gluten-free buns into our rotation recently thanks to your round ups!
Shirley Braden says
Thanks, Alisa. The fact that the recipe roundups are the most popular makes this top recipes post look HUGE. It’s still easy to skim and pick and choose though. 😉 So happy to know that you’ve found a recipe that you’re making again and again!
Happy New Year!
Shirley

Hi Mary–Thank you so much!! There’s still work to be done (you know how that is!), but I’m pretty pleased with having a fresh, new look and slowly working through the tweaks. 😉 When these roundups make the “top” list, they sure do make it look like a heap of recipes. 😉 Thanks for the New Year wishes and Happy 2016 to you, dear!

Wow, so much to work through, Shirley! So many beautiful recipes. Thanks for putting them all in one place. Pinning this because I know people always LOVE their breads 🙂
Shirley Braden says
Hi Audrey–Whenever roundup posts make the most popular listing, it looks like a gazillion recipes at once! I feel like we are all so adept at finding what appeals to us and what works for us that we can work through these pretty quickly though. 🙂 Thanks so much for the pin! Last, oh, yes, the bread recipes are so very popular. I do love that those who want traditional breads can find terrific choices here and those who don’t want traditional bread recipes can find them as well. 😉
Happy Monday! Thanks so much for stopping by, dear.
