What a year this has been! I praise God for the many many blessings we've had here at Nourishing Joy this year, including publishing our first e-book and more than quintupling the number of people who have received our free cookbook by signing up for our newsletter.
As I've dug deep into my analytics, I realized that the top 25 posts this year weren't dominated by recipes (as I thought they would be), but by natural home remedies and natural living tips. How fabulous!
So, here are the top 25 posts this year on Nourishing Joy. Many of these elicited good conversation on our Facebook page when they were first published – if you're not part of the community there, join us! (We're on Pinterest too!)
