This year-in-review features the top 25 new recipes of 2025, from the most popular reader favorites to the best new recipes added this year.
The Top 25 Recipes from 2025 (and a THANK YOU from my heart)…
As we move through 2025, I wanted to share the top 25 most-loved recipes from the past year. These are the recipes you cooked, saved, shared, commented on, and came back to again and again.
While the blog continued, 2025 looked very different behind the scenes.
Much of this year has been spent fighting cancer and recovering from surgery, which brought with it a truly ridiculous number of doctor appointments, tests, scans, and follow-ups. It’s been a season of learning patience, listening to my body, and facing fears — including slowly but surely beating my fear of the MRI machine. Hahaha!
There were days when my energy didn’t come easily and moments when showing up felt harder than ever. But through it all, this is my passion. It is what I love to do. I LOVE creating recipes and I want to THANK YOU for supporting what started out as my favorite hobby in the world and somehow turned into my business.
I am endlessly grateful for friends and family who have shown up in ways both big and small. And I am so thankful for you — for your messages, comments, encouragement, and kindness. Whether you knew exactly what I was going through or simply supported my work, you helped keep me moving forward on days when it mattered most. You have been so kind and I will always remember that!
Your support has reminded me why I started this journey in the first place…to share food that brings comfort, connection, and joy.
I’ll be honest — my energy isn’t quite what it was in 2024. But I am giving myself grace, focusing on healing, and working toward coming back stronger in 2026. This year has changed me, but it has also strengthened me in ways I didn’t expect. There have been so many lessons learned!
Thank you for cooking along with me. Thank you for supporting my work. Thank you for your kindness, patience, and love.
Let’s get back to the cooking! I have included the Top 25 NEW RECIPES for the year 2025. But here are some classic favorites that you keep coming back to…
This Creamy Tuscan Gnocchi is made with a sundried tomato cream sauce tossed in with pillowy gnocchi and topped with fresh parmesan cheese and basil. You will love this Marry Me Gnocchi!
This French Onion Pot Roast recipe is made in your slow cooker and packed with flavor. With sweet caramelized onions, beefy broth, and gooey Gruyère cheese, it's truly the best savory beef pot roast recipe!
No Bake Cheesecake (with sweetened condensed milk)
This easy No-Bake Cheesecake is made with a luscious filling made with cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, in a homemade graham cracker crust.
This Cheesy Taco Rice Skillet is a hearty, one-pan, under 30 minute meal. Mexican Taco Skillet is loaded with seasoned ground beef, uncooked rice, and diced tomatoes—then simmered in a savory blend of beef broth and spices until perfectly tender and topped with melted cheese.
These viral baked dumplings from TikTok are the ultimate easy dinner hack! Crispy dumplings are baked in a creamy coconut curry sauce and topped with cilantro, chili crunch oil, and sesame seed.
These buttered noodles are the easiest comfort food ever made with tender pasta, butter, and parmesan cheese. You only need 3 ingredients to make this butter parmesan pasta (also known as Burro e Parmigiano).

How to make the juiciest, tender, flavorful Ricotta meatballs made with ricotta cheese and parmesan cheese. These Ricotta Parmesan Meatballs will be a hit!
This is the best rice pudding recipe! This Tres Leches Rice Pudding is made with three kinds of milk, tender rice, and a hint of cinnamon come together in the creamiest, dreamiest dessert you've ever tasted.

Easy, delicious, no-bake treat that combines crunchy cereal, sweet peanut butter, and a chocolate-butterscotch topping. It’s a take on the classic Scotcheroos recipe, but we’re swapping out the usual Rice Krispies cereal for Rice Chex.
