Every year in early January I post the 10 “best” posts of the previous year. Sometimes I choose my favorite posts. Sometimes I choose posts that are very personal. And sometimes, I just choose highly trafficked blog posts. This year, I am stickin’ with the high trafficked posts.
Ann’s Entitled Life gets a fair amount of daily readers. People are kind enough to share my posts on social media alerting their friends and family to posts that they think may interest their circle of friends. A good many times, it is the same post others have shared. Sometimes, a post is timely. Sometimes the photos look good. And sometimes, a post just catches on for no reason apparent to anyone.
These were the top 10 posts published in 2015 on Ann’s Entitled Life:
● Orange Creamsicle Cocktail Recipe – This recipe went CRAZY on facebook. Over 1.5 million people have stopped on Ann’s Entitled Life to read this specific recipe since it was published in May. That’s a lotta people who like cocktails. Or creamsicles. Or both.
● 20 Useful Household Hacks – People like hacks. We all like new and different ways to do things, and a hack is a MacGyver-ish way of thinking outside the box.
● White Christmas Pie Recipe – This was posted three weeks ago, and became a top 20 blog post for 2015 (and #3 published in 2015) the first week it was out. To say I was flabbergasted would be an understatement.
● Classic Vanilla Buttercream Frosting Recipe – Also a very popular recipe on Facebook. I’ve noticed that people on Facebook love frosting, and apparently, this recipe.
● Macaroni Pizza Casserole Recipe – Hubby’s favorite dinner when he was a child. It really is pretty darned good!

● 20 Easy Icing and Frosting Recipes – Another very popular post with the Facebook crowd.
● 20 DIY Costumes for Families – A Halloween costume round-up, this was a very popular post with people with children.
● Italian Macaroni and Cheese Recipe – Sometimes I don’t understand why a recipe catches a reader’s fancy. This one I totally get though! Who doesn’t looooooove cheese? The more cheese, the better, IMO!
