New & Most Popular Recipes from 2020

Over thirty new recipes made their way to the blog in 2020! Check out the new main dishes, sides, desserts, and more– plus what were the most popular recipes all year too!

It’s that time again! Time to look back at 2020 and remember all the new recipes of the year, and take stock of what were the most popular recipes on the blog.

This is always a fun exercise because even though I am the one testing and publishing the new recipes, I’m still amazed when I look back and remember recipes that have slipped my mind.

I’ve organized the new recipes (all thirty-nine of them) into categories so you can easily scroll through and find something new to try this year. I also looked back through which recipes were visited the most frequently in 2020, and compiled a list of those, too, at the end of the post. 

Thank you so much for trusting me with your meal times and trying so many new recipes with me this year! (I’d love to hear in the comments which were your favorites!) Your support and enthusiasm keep me going and mean so much!

Scroll through the list, check out which new recipes you missed this year, and save this post so you can come back for quick and easy links!
