What a fun year 2009 has been for Healthy. Happy. Life. I have had the joy of posting over 650 blog posts and numerous healthy, happy recipes and wellness tips. I have been thrilled to read your comments and feedback. You guys are awesome! So for my end-of-the-year review I'd like to showcase my Top 25 Vegan Recipes of 2009, based on blog traffic. So if you missed any vegan recipes this year, it's catch up time. I've also listed my Top 15 Non-Recipe Blog Posts of 2009. The envelope please...

Number One (Non-Recipe) Post. The number one (most traffic) non-recipe blog post of 2009 was: Wii Active vs. Wii Fit vs. Life. I wasn't surprised so many people were googling about whether or not to purchase a video game system to help them 'get fit' this past year. I am personally not a huge fan of video games as a main source of fitness, but you can read my full blog post for all the info on this timely technology/wellness topic.

Number One Recipe. You loved it and I love it. The number one rated recipe of 2009 was my Spicy Verde Lasagna. It's oh so good. And oh so vegan. Note: this was also my number one overall ranked blog post of 2009.
