Readers' Favorite 2021 Recipes

These are the 10 most popular posts from 2021, which means these were the most visited recipes. All are vegetarian, over half are vegan, and 1 is a meal plan for winter seasonal produce.

Updated July 26, 2022

Every year I look back to see what readers' favorite recipes were. First I review the stats for recipes newly published this year. Then I look at all-time favorites. It gives me ideas of where to focus for the following year, so that I'm not only publishing recipes I want to make again and again. I also want to publish recipes you want to see too. Recipes that pull you into the kitchen.

After all, many of you may be new to this blog, and if so, this may help you wade through the 500+ recipes I have published through the years.

First, let's take a look at Readers' 10 Favorite Recipes that were published in 2021. Three of them fall in the "How-To" category that form an important building block to cooking oodles of vegetarian, vegan or recipes with meat / fish. Four of the top 10 recipes are meals. One is a snack that can also be an ingredient in many recipes. One is a sauce with French origins, and one post was a meal plan published last winter.

I have 3 different mailing lists. Although many subscribers subscribe to all 3 lists, many have chosen specific newsletter topics to receive. I try my best to group them so you never ever get more than 1 newsletter per week. What I liked about the results this year is that posts from each newsletter group is represented in readers' favorite recipes this year.

I hope that means I have the right mix of newsletter categories of food.

Want more vegetarian and vegan dish ideas? I can help you. I have three newsletters for different topics: 1) Weekly Recipes, 2) Vegetarian Meal Plans, and 3) Monthly Vegetarian Tips for helping you to move to a more vegetarian diet. Choose which newsletters are most relevant to your lifestyle and you'll also get my 5 SECRETS TO FUSS-FREE VEGETARIAN DINNERS.

This coming week, I'll do a roundup of readers' all-time favorites here on The Wimpy Vegetarian!
