The Marvelous Muffin Link!

So every now and then I check out my site's stats to see what dishes are popular, who's reading and from where, and how people are finding me.  In the left margin of my page is listed my top ten most popular dishes based on page hits. I find this interesting and sometimes see items move up or down the list.  Anyways, a few months back, I noticed my Sausage and Cheese Muffins came out of nowhere and zoomed to near the top.  Wha?? I was perplexed!  I mean I know they are simply fabulous, but that wouldn't explain their sudden rise in popularity.  :-)  I decided to find out what caused their jump. 



I did some sleuthing and tracked a link in my stats that I hadn't seen before.  It was to VegNews of all things.  I clicked on the link and found this wonderful article, "7 Out of This World Vegan Cheese Dishes."  In no particular order are listed seven dishes from the vegan online world that they rated as the seven best that had vegan cheese as an ingredient.  And, my humble muffins made the list!  They even put in a lovely description of them.  There is no photo, but they had a link to my recipe, and that explained the huge jump. 

I am not one to blow or even slightly toot my own horn, but this was so much fun, I thought you'd enjoy hearing about it, too.  The only thing I wish is that VegNews would have popped me over an e-mail or something just to let me know.  I'm very honored to have been noticed by them.  So, if this doesn't convince you to make those muffins, then nothin' will!  :-)

  8. That's cool. You're a movie star! I had a similar experience when four of my posts landed on Buzzfeed. I didn't even know what that was but my son was VERY impressed so it must mean something.
