Most Popular: Cheesy Chili Mac: Karen's Kitchen Stories

After a great reveal day for Group D, it's time to reveal the "Most Popular" recipe. This recipe was chosen by YOU the readers. YOU loved it and now I'm sharing it! Our most viewed recipe was Cheesy Chili Mac from Karen of Karen's Kitchen Stories.

Karen had this to say about the recipe...

"This dish comes together so easily, and is the perfect weeknight dinner for a busy family. You can pretty much have this on the table within 45 minutes, less if you pre chop the onions and garlic. You can also make this in advance and reheat it. It's a perfect make-ahead meal."

Cardamom Pear Muffins: food.baby.life

Today's featured recipe comes from Group D blogger, Susan of food.baby.life, who made Cardamom Pear Muffins from her assigned blog, Hapa-tite. Cardamom is such a lovely spice.

Susan had this to say about her recipe:

"These muffins were absolutely delicious. The cardamom added a complexity of flavour that I wasn't expecting yet it wasn't overpowering, probably because it was paired with cinnamon and nutmeg (and the clove that I added because I love it)."

Twisted Cinnamon Rolls: Baking and Creating with Avril

One of today's featured recipes comes from Group A blogger, Avril of Baking and Creating with Avril, who made Twisted Cinnamon Rolls from her assigned blog, Chef in Disguise.

Avril had this to say about her recipe:

"4 lovely layers of dough blanket melted butter which is then sprinkled with a cinnamon sugar coating on top of each dough layer.  The layered circle of deliciousness is cut into 8 portions which are then cut again with a slit in their centers.   The slit in the mid section provides the tip of each portion to be looped into it which creates the twist.  So much fun!"
