Your Top 10 Recipes of 2020
Today I’m sharing YOUR top 10 recipes of 2020. These are the ones that got the most page views during the year, thanks to google searches, Pinterest, and other traffic drivers.
Part of my blogging gig involves looking at stats throughout the year to see what recipes are getting attention. While I enjoy these ten recipes, there are SO many more that I hope you try as well.
What I’m loving right now:
- Scones – For me, it’s a tie between my Maple Nut Scones and my Mini Chocolate Chip Scones. Both go great with a homemade latte, like a pumpkin one or my new favorite eggnog latte!
- Pizza is our #1 food here, and we love our pizza parties with the kids. I use my homemade dough and love making both Pesto Tomato Pizza and Taco Pizza, and a white pizza (not shared yet).
- Salads – I love making a big salad and eating it all week long. My top three are my Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad, my Italian Chopped Salad, and my Mexican Quinoa Salad.
- Soup – As soon as our Texas weather drops out of the 90’s, I start making ALL the soups. There are tons of variety on the blog, but lately I’m loving my Italian Minestrone, Hearty Beef Vegetable, and Sweet Potato Turkey Chili.
- Cocktails – If you follow me on Instagram, you know that we love our weekend happy hours. While it’s hard to beat a glass of wine or a craft beer, we love Mai Tais, Apple Cider Margaritas, and a classic Vodka Slush. And of course, a nice charcuterie board.
Here are YOUR top ten recipes of 2020!

6. Crunchy Asian Cabbage Salad
Crunchy Asian Cabbage Salad is a classic potluck dish that I’ve made a hundred times. I tweaked the recipe slightly, by adding shelled edamame and adjusting the salad dressing to up the health factor. Still SO good and an easy recipe I keep coming back to again and again!
