I know this is a little late but I so wanted to share my top 15 recipes from 2015. It was a year filled with lots of growth, expansion and new experiences with this little blog of mine and man it was good to me. I had my first few sponsored posts this year and a couple even made it into this list! I’ve really focused on creating my own recipes and thinking creatively. I also decided to start monetizing and have made a little spending cash here and there. I’m excited to experiment with my new lens I received for Christmas and hopefully up my photography game this year.
I cannot tell you how incredibly thankful I am for all of you dear readers. I couldn’t do it without you! When I hear from you through comments, social media and emails that you’re cooking and enjoying my recipes it makes my heart oh so happy. I’m no big time blogger but I can’t believe that I get to cook and write to help support my family. Thank you all for your support and readership to allow me to do so! I hope to bring you even more deliciousness this year! With that, here’s your favorites from 2015.
15. Take 5 Bark – I’m not too surprised that this crazy, sweet and salty treat was popular with you guys. It was definitely a Christmas favorite at our house.
14. Christmas Tortellini – Everyone in my house ate this pasta making it a huge hit for us. I’m guessing that’s why you all enjoyed it so much too. Because who doesn’t love a big plate of cheesy, saucy pasta?
13. – Skillet Drop Biscuits – Everybody like a simple and quick way to get those carbs in, right? Biscuits can be finicky but this drop version is pretty much fail-proof and are a great way to round out your dinner. Glad you all loved them as much as we did.
12. Sugo Sauce – This tomato sauce has a red wine kick and is simmered for hours to increase the richness. Perfect for Sunday suppers and totally comforting.
11. Bacon and Bleu Hot Corn Dip – Bacon and cheese makes this dip a no-brainer.
10. Coconut Macadamia Nut Chicken Tenders – These chicken tenders are loved equally by kids and adults. They are baked and coated with good for you ingredients to make a healthy dinner for the family. We love them and I’m so glad you do too!
9. Peanut Butter Banana Muffins {Gluten and Dairy Free} – Well look at you guys being healthy. These are our favorite muffins of the year not just because they healthy but because they don’t taste like it. Great way to trick those resistant to “health food.”
8. Chicken Sausage, Broccoli and Potato Frittata – I don’t know if I just posted healthier recipes this year or if you all were searching for them but I’m so glad I did this post to see what you guys are loving and wanting. This frittata makes a fancy brunch that you don’t have guilt over.
7. Hot BBQ Sandwiches – We love these simple yet delicious sandwiches on busy nights.
6. Amish Sugar Cookies – These are hands down my favorite cookie post of the year. They are melt in your mouth delicious and I dream of them often.
5. Cold Brew Coffee – Life changing.
4. Caprese Tortellini Salad – The best summertime salad. I’m not surprised by the popularity of this one!
3. Meat Lovers Skillet – There is a time for the healthy recipes listed above and there is a time for this. When I created this one, I had a strong feeling it would be a hit.
2. Simple Chicken Cordon Bleu – Simplifying a fancy dish and pairing it with wine is an instant classic. This was one of my sponsored posts this year so I’m especially proud of it. Happy you all loved it too!
1. Corny Banana Blueberry Pancakes – This recipe from The Skinnytaste Cookbook was the number one recipe this year. I love when we can have comfort food that doesn’t wreck our day.
There you have it folks, your favorites from 2015. I can’t wait to see what you love this year. Thanks for going on the ride with me!
