One of the great things about having a blog is reading the search engine terms that lead people to my blog. Some are unsurprising, such as “healthy eating in college,” but others are really random and ridiculous. Last year, I read the funny ones to my roommate from time to time and she always got a kick out of them, so I decided it’s time to share a few of them with you.
Not surprisingly, most of them involve food and/or running. Also not surprisingly, quite a few of them involve Chipotle. Unfortunately, I don’t think most of these people found what they were looking for here before…but that changes today.
“the monster cookie with squash”
When I first started blogging, I wrote an entire post about my distaste for squash, and since then I’ve also written about how much I love monster cookies. So if you’re looking for a monster cookie recipe that includes squash, I’m afraid I can’t help.
“heat literally kills me when running”
Oh, dear! I happened to write a whole post about that.
“Can I eat durian if my iron level is low?”
I’m sure you could, but the better question is, why would you want to? 
“if i dont get enough sleep i eat like crazy”
Me too, friend, me too.
“how do i get big muscles”
I’m not the best person to consult about how to get big muscles, but if I had to make a guess, I’d say something about going to the gym and protein powder?
“restaurant students girls eating”
If you’re asking where female students like to eat, the answer is Chipotle. Always Chipotle. 
“explain which of the two fruits, banana or avocado, would be better to eat just before running a race”
I haven’t tried it before a race, but I’m guessing NOT the avocado.
“vegan beans and olives”
Blech.
“best roasted cauliflower of your life”
Ooh, ooh, I know the answer to this one! Make this cauliflower. Your life will never be the same.
“Chipotle for pre run meal”
I love chipotle, I love running, and I love meals, but that sounds like a terrible combination .
“sweet potato monster cookies”
What is it with people wanting to put vegetables in their monster cookies?
“addiction counselor job in nakuru”
As much as I’d love to help, I don’t think I can find a job for you in Kenya. Or America, for that matter.
I’m no doctor, but I’m fairly certain it’s not very possible (or at least it was for me!).
I love reading these posts! I keep meaning to do one for my blog, but always forget. Let’s just say that the words sexy Benedict Cumberbatch are one of my top search results and I’m completely OK with that! haha
Haha! I’m guessing there’s a story behind that?!
Heyyyyy! Do you really dislike squash? Noo, I can’t believe it! I make the best squash chips in the whole town! Haha!
I used to hate squash, but I’ve become more okay with it over time. It’s definitely not one of my favorite vegetables still, though. Maybe if I tried your squash chips… š
Haha hmmm… those are some very interesting searches! Best part of my week is making homemade pizza last night with my boyfriend. And I don’t know about you, but I think sweet potatoes in my cookie could be kinda good!
I always love reading the search terms that lead people to my blog. There are always some that are rather interesting! haha
Some of those are hilarious! I know, some search terms can be really wacky.
I would rather add sweet potatoes to my cookies. Squash just does not sound appealing to me.
I’ve heard sweet potato bread is good (and it actually sounds great- kind of like pumpkin bread!) but I just can’t picture that texture in cookies…
This is so funny! Yet, totally realistic, because I always type weird combinations/super specific queries in Google (and usually don’t end up finding what I need).
My Google search history is probably the strangest collection of random questions and funny search terms, too, haha. And misspellings…Google fixes them for me, anyway!
I am guilty of being a major squash and sweet potato lover and both are due to be a major feature in my dinners now Fall is well and truly on the way!
Putting vegetables into baked goods is something I quite like experimenting with and although I haven’t seen sweet potato cookies, this recipe for sweet potato brownies is awesome if you ever fancy giving it a go: http://deliciouslyella.com/vegan-sweet-potato-brownies-gluten-free/
I have nothing against sweet potatoes and squash in dinners…maybe just not in my cookies š I do enjoy zucchini bread and pumpkin bread…so maybe I’d enjoy sweet potato bread (or even sweet potato brownies!), too.
I think I was one of the “healthy eating in college” searchers and was then surprised to see a fellow Tar Heel on my screen! I’m a senior š
No way! Hey, Rachel! So fun to “meet” another fellow Tar Heel through the blog. If you’d ever like to grab lunch or something, feel free to shoot me an email! I’d love to meet up!
That’s too funny about everyone adding things to monster cookies! Squash in a cookie would be pretty monstrous though, I guess. And I think it is humidity that literally kills me when I’m running!
Haha! Adding squash to cookies WOULD make them into really monstrous cookies- love it!
I love reading posts like this, because some of my own search results are hilarious. Someone found my blog by searching “can I lift up my boyfriend”. I have no idea why it lead them to my blog.
Ha! You mean you never wrote a post about lifting up your boyfriend?! š
I love these posts, I always laugh so hard! Once I had someone search, “tatziki overnight oats” Excuse me while I vom.
HAHAHA that’s one of the most disgusting possible combinations to come up with! Hope they didn’t find what they were looking for š
I almost did a backflip at the beginning of this because I thought you had a monster cookie recipe that had squash it it. So disappointing haha someone really needs to figure that out! I’ve always wanted to figure out the search terms people use to get to me but I don’t know how haha
If I could come up with a delicious squash monster cookie recipe, I’d be a culinary genius…but I don’t think I want to devote the time and resources to that pursuit haha.
And you can find the search terms people use to get to your site (and a bunch of other helpful info) on Google Analytics. Do you have that installed? It’s pretty easy to do, so let me know if you need help!
Literally lol’ing reading this. Gimme some sweet potato monster cookies! Also- I eat like a monster needing monster cookies when I am sleep deprived as well.
LOL I eat like a monster when I’m sleep deprived, too. I felt such real sympathy when I read that search term haha!
BAH HA HA! THIS IS A FUNNY ASS POST! If only you knew some of the search terms to my blog… Oh wait, I can tell you – let me see what today’s top search is…
HAPPY SEX VIDEOS
BAHHHHHH HA HA HA AH AH AHA HA HA HA AH AH AHA HA HA HA AH HA HA AH AH AHA HA HA HA!!!!!
The next one is Ben Affleck Smoking. Interesting.
PS: I cannot believe you don’t like squash!
Girlfriend! What have you been posting on your blog?! š
The best part of my week was getting a new job. Those terms are great! You should create some sweet potato monster cookies, they could be…good? Test them out on your residents š
After experimenting with pumpkin cookies that didn’t turn out so well a couple of weeks ago, I may have to wait a while to work up the courage/energy to do that again haha. And a huge congrats on your new job- I hope you love it!
Heehee so funny! Ahhh the thought of eating an avocado before a run is so brutal!! Ouchie!
This is so funny!! LOL …love it! You are so cute oh my word! …and seriously every time I come to your blog I find you with Chipotle! Now I want Chipotle š Great post girl!!
I eat at Chipotle pretty much every week š
Ok, so I can’t believe I missed like five of your posts, but I just caught up, and saw that something is wrong with your email list, and I’m fine with waiting, I just thought it was me. š I thought I must have signed up with an old email address, and not signed up again when I got a new one. I thought it was weird that I hadn’t gotten a notification for you in a long time, and I kept meaning to check, but I kept forgetting. :S I tried once on my computer, but I can only go to a few blogs on there, and apparently yours isn’t one of them. :'(
Anyway, I wanted to know how you can tell what people are searching for? I’ve tried on mine, but I can’t figure it out. Is it because you own your domain? I’m just curious. š
I loved all these. So hilarious. I read some of them aloud to my sibs, and they enjoyed it as well! The monster cookies…oh my. š
Ugh yes, I need to figure out the email situation! The problem is related to coding, which is pretty much a foreign language to me. I hope to have it figured out soon!
I can see search terms through two plugins I have installed- Jetpack and Google Analytics. I don’t think you can have plugins unless your site is self-hosted, but I could be wrong.
Haha I’m glad you and your siblings enjoyed the search terms! They always make me smile š
