We’re home after a long weekend spent with family in the Twin Cities area. Bad roads on the way home Monday made the trip much longer than normal. Hence, no post yesterday and total writer’s block concerning a topic for today’s top ten list.

Until I remembered today is New Year’s Eve, the perfect time for a run down of Gravel Road’s top ten posts of 2013. That said, here goes:

10. Savory Vegetable Strata: First glimmer of 2013 readers looking for non-dairy recipes.

9.   Mexican Rice: First glimmer of readers looking for easy recipes.

8.   Top Ten Reasons to Look Forward to a Cousin’s Reunion: No glimmer necessary for this one. The pictures tell why this post was so popular. Our family is overflowing with cousins…with almost a dozen more yet to be born at the time these photos were taken!

7.  Where Minnesota Farm Girl and Queen Elizabeth Meet: I love that readers loved this post pointing out parallels between the lives of Mom and England’s queen.
