It looks like that winter that forgot to happen in the “winter months” decided that April was a great time to make up for it. We had several days of 80+ temperatures followed by days of snow fall and temps in the 30s. It has been strange for sure and definitely interesting! I have looked at the page views and stats to check out the popular recipes posts from last month. There are no surprises here – at least for me, maybe you missed one of these posts? Either way I hope you enjoy checking out the Five #MostPopularRecipes of Last Month – APR-2026. It is a countdown, so be sure to scroll to end of this post to see #1!

#3 – Crispy Buffalo Chicken Wraps
Some times dinner just needs to be a wrap. It’s easy to make, easy to eat and easy to clean up from. You can turn lots of different things into a wrap or burrito or roll-up – whatever you prefer to call them. This particular wrap puts lots of veggies into a tortilla with some crunchy crispy chicken and kicks up the heat with the addition of spicy buffalo sauce. These easy to make Crispy Buffalo Chicken Wraps are a great idea for a a weeknight dinner.
#2 – 10 Recipes Using Ground Pork
In our house we have basically 3 meats on constant rotation – Chicken, Beef and Pork. And I love to utilize the ground versions of each. We definitely use other types of meat like turkey and seafood, but not as often. So for this Recipe Collection, I want to share with you my favorite Ground Pork recipes. Ground pork is such a great canvas for so many different cuisines. I hope you find a few on this list to add to your rotation.
#1 – Blackstone Cowboy Stir-Fry
I don’t usually make recipes that require a super specialized piece of cooking equipment (except maybe slow cookers), but I am so in love with my Blackstone griddle, I can’t help it. For the most part the other things I have made thus far can be made on the stove top, however this Blackstone Cowboy Stir-Fry really does the need the wide open flat space of the griddle. It is a total game changer for making meals like this for the whole family at once. By the by – this is not an ad for Blackstone products at all – my hubs got me one for my birthday this year and I just love it so very much.
