Our favorite recipes of 2018!
As a farewell to 2018, we checked our stats and shared YOUR favorite recipes of the year several days ago. Today, we thought it would be fun to highlight 10 of OUR favorites from the last twelve months. Although it was hard to choose just 10, these are some of the recipes that we'll be making again and again. They include a super versatile salad dressing (there's always a jar in the fridge), our all-time favorite rice, a wonderful make-ahead side dish, several fabulous one-bowl desserts and a to-die-for cinnamon raisin biscuit recipe. Check them all out below, I think you might find some new favorites too!
No time to make a fancy dessert? No one will know or care with this easy, one-bowl, 10-minute Chocolate Chip Toffee Skillet Tart!
This Mexican Corn and Bean Salad is wonderful for potlucks, with chips and makes a fabulous side for sandwiches and grilled entreés.
This juicy, tender Grilled Chicken Shawarma is wonderful on its own, in wraps, sliced thin in sandwiches and it's super delicious in salads.
If you love one-bowl, no-mixer, cookies with crisp edges and chewy centers, raise your hand. Hello, Lemon Coconut Sugar Cookies!
