Hard to pick just one! Love the no knead brioche bread, Swedish sticky chocolate cake, ridiculously easy scones and shortbread cookies.
I have made so many recipes from this site. It’s my all time favorite place to go for something fun, easy and delicious to make and eat
I love that, Kristin! Thanks for leaving a comment.
So many recipes from you have been amazing. I’m still trying new ones. But I get so many compliments on the No-knead Brioche bread. I make it as our everyday bread, so that’s about weekly. I sincerely appreciate your recipes made easier. It takes the fear away from trying new menus! Looking forward to a new year discovering new ways of cooking.
That's great, Seena! Thank you for letting us know!
I made so many of the Cafe Sucre Farine recipes this year and last year but one of my all time favorites has to be the Churro Cake. It's fun to make and fun to serve ..... oh, and fun to eat. Thanks for all the wonderful recipes.
That's great, Susan! Thanks for letting us know!
I made most of these recipes this year! All were amazing, but my very favorite was the apple cider Bundt cake (omg)! Have a great and prosperous new year.
Thank you, Nilene! Happy New Year!
