As 2025 comes to a close, I’ve been doing what I always do best:: looking back with gratitude, a full heart, and probably a bowl of something cozy nearby. This year brought travel, comfort food, new favorites, and a few posts that truly connected with you.


These are the five most-read and most-loved posts of 2025, counting down from five to one :: and the number one spot - a repost - ran away with it (no surprise there).


5. Sips and Snacks in January
















This month’s lineup was all about cozy indulgence and classic favorites. We poured a crisp, crowd-pleasing Riesling, served up a rich and comforting lobster bisque, and mixed my most-asked-for cocktail :: the Fireside Old Fashioned.


Warm flavors, winter sips, and comfort in every bite — the perfect way to settle into January.

4. Cheeseburger Bake


Comfort food will always have a place here—and you proved that with this one. The Cheeseburger Bake quickly became a family-favorite kind of recipe: easy, nostalgic, and perfect for busy weeknights.

And the clear, far-and-away winner of 2025…

Roasted Tomato Basil Soup.


This cozy, comforting recipe was cooked, shared, saved, and loved more than any other post this year. It’s simple, rich, comforting, and exactly the kind of recipe that feels like home.
