What were our top posts for the first week in January? Well, there were small kitchens with good storage, and bright kitchens painted orange. There were recipes for vegetarians and vegans, a poll on your favorite food blog, and plenty of New Year's resolutions and predictions. There was another dinner party under $100, some good ideas for leftover orange peels, and more. Read on for the top 15 posts from last week.
