2023 was a delicious year here at The Café! These are our favorite new recipes of the year. Did your favorites make the list?
We shared the most popular new recipes of the year and now it's time for our favorites! We truly loved everything we've shared this year, but we wanted to highlight some recipes that didn't make the most popular list.
These are recipes we will keep in rotation, year after year. In fact, I made the Pepita Pecorino Kale Salad and Katherine's Hot Onion Dip last night for friends! Have you tried any of these? What are your favorites? Thank you for such a great year, and we are looking forward to more delicious recipes in 2024!
