With New Year’s Day just around the corner, I wanted to share our most popular recipes of 2020. They are incredible, delicious, easy, and tasty. But that’s to be expected because they are your favorite recipes of 2020!
This has been a year filled with new recipes, and lots and lots of cooking. While many of us stayed at home, limiting even takeout, we cooked and baked and celebrate and learned this new “normal” we found ourselves in.
But in these unique days, we also found a new love for baking bread, making simple, healthy meals at home. Trying new treats and, of course, celebrating both the big and little things this year has brought to us.
This annual post is one I look forward to all year long! Because it’s the best of what you loved, tried, shared, rated, and emailed me about. I LOVE those emails and ratings and sharing! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

A Classic Ribollita: Tuscan Bean Soup Recipe
I am SO happy you've loved this soup as much as I do. It's hardy, healthy, and perfect for the colder months ahead. And I've been told... the toast is a must!
