These were the most searched recipes of 2018

When we want a recipe we may ask a family member or consult a cookbook, but more often than not, we just ask Google. Google just revealed what we were collectively searching for in 2018, and it seems last year was a year of classic comfort foods. Only one food on this list seems to be a little strange, but regardless, we support your efforts! See which recipe you think doesn’t belong: 1. Pecan Pie This classic pie came out on top, thanks to Southerners and their deep love of the dish on Thanksgiving. Many people just wouldn’t consider the holidays complete without a big slice of this dynamite dessert. 2. Hummingbird Food No, this isn’t some name of some cutsy Pinterest recipe. People were literally searching for foods they could make to attract hummingbirds. Aside from certain native flowers, and nectar feeders, the Audubon Society recommends hanging a few…

Odd foods that are dropped on New Year’s Eve instead of a ball

Every city has its own way of celebrating the turn of a new year. There’s no shortage of alcohol, parties and dazzling, dropping disco balls dangling from towers. But for some towns, this all seems just a bit too boring. Here are 13 towns that celebrate New Year’s Eve by dropping something a little more flavorful than a sparkly ball. https://www.instagram.com/p/BOme7KmDegD/?taken-by=rosaduartetv 1. A Peep (Bethlehem, Pennsylvania)  Peeps usually make their only appearance during Easter, but in Bethlehem, the town where the famous candy was invented, New Years Eve brings the annual “PeepFest.” Every year on the 31st of December, a gigantic 400-pound Peep is dropped at precisely 5:15 p.m., followed by a colorful fireworks display. The massive Peep is made out of fiberglass and therefore, unfortunately, it is inedible. However, the big yellow icon is still a joy to see and something locals look forward to at the end of every year. https://www.instagram.com/p/xFFif8vEEj/?tagged=moonpieovermobile 2.

The most popular diets of 2018

Research has shown us that adopting a daily healthy lifestyle and routine is the best way to shed pounds and keep them off. But that doesn’t stop us from looking for the latest strategy for losing weight in a hurry. Google has published its list of the Top 10 Most Searched Diets of 2018. This year, diets fell largely in two categories — those that skip or cut carbs, or those that restrict eating to certain hours or days of the week. Google receives more than 90 percent of the world’s searches, so the search engine’s list is probably a decent gauge of what people were actually interested in a trying out this year, or at the very least, which diets have grown tremendously in popularity from 2017 to 2018. Noticeably absent this year, are former heavyweight diet methods paleo and Atkins. So, how did Google do? Did you search…
