Top 10 Recipes of 2013

2013 has been an amazing year of growth for Roti n Rice. As she celebrates her 4th Blogiversary today, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your valued and continued support. I appreciate your visits day after day to read my ramblings and check out my recipes. Many thanks also for subscribing to my feed and for cheering me on at Pinterest, Facebook, Google+, and Twitter. THANK YOU!

I would also like to thank my dearest hubby, Ro-Ri San for his unconditional patience and support of my work, without which this blog will not be what it is today. He has spent many hours helping me with the props, photography, editing, taste testing, and critiquing of my recipes. Many of the beautiful dishes and props you see in the photographs are gifts from him. My two wonderful boys have also been amazingly patient and good natured with their mom for her endless photography sessions.

As the year comes to a close, I would like to line up my Top 10 Recipes of 2013. These are the most pinned, shared, and viewed recipes of 2013. As always, there are returning favorites and a few pleasant surprises…..
