    When you hit those big birthdays...30, 40, 50 and so on...do you get as sentimental as I do? I need a couple of days to look through all photos and relive memories from the past five or ten years. My poor family would be wise to leave the house, or just sit me in front of a plate full of sushi to keep my quiet.

    Well, I'm going through one of those sentimental times with my blog this week. As I mentioned on Friday when I chatted about My Top 10 Tips for Bloggers, Cookin' Canuck just turned five.

    So, I sat down with a bowl of soy sauce and cayenne-doused soba noodles (one of my many comfort foods) and scrolled through some of my favorite recipes and posts from the past five years to come up with my top 10 recipes.

    And then I decided to get analytical about the whole thing, which just means that I looked up my stats in Google Analytics to find out what YOUR favorite posts were. My Health and Weight Loss Journey post was one of them, but I wanted to make it all about the recipes.

    So, here they are...my top 10 recipes, your favorites:

    #1 Hearty Chicken Stew with Butternut Squash & Quinoa

    Hearty-Chicken-Stew-with-Butternut-Squash-&-Quinoa-Recipe-Cookin-Canuck
    The most frequently made recipe on my site. This one's a definite keeper!

    #2 Cannellini Bean Vegetarian "Meatballs" with Tomato Sauce

    Vegetarian "meatballs"? Yeah, that's why I said. Trust me...try them.

    #3 Baked Egg Breakfast Casserole with Mushrooms, Spinach & Salsa

    #10 Fisherman's Soup with Tilapia, Shrimp, Tomatoes & Capers

        I love all of these recipes, but my FAVORITE is the brie-strawberry-agave nectar-basil-on-little-toasts appetizer. It always gets RAVES. Thanks!!
