10 Top Recipes 2016

Share this recipe!

" Recipes from Asia to Mexico to good old fashioned American chocolate chip cookies were what my readers chose as their 10 favorites of 2016. Check out potatoes and pasta and and a whole lot more to try in 2017. Just in case you missed them in 2016!"
This year it seems many of my blogger friends are posting top posts from 2016. This got me wondering what mine were. After checking I was quite surprised by the variety of posts that I found were popular with my small group of readers. (Next year I'd like to make that a big group of readers!) What fun to be able to see that Mexican recipes are important, as are Asian, and even a Jewish recipe made the top 10. I'm so glad desserts still rank and my favorite make ahead cheese souffle was a hit. And those potato bundles? Oh my! My readers have chosen some good ones and I am happy to say I agree with their choices!

    Can't believe I missed a couple of these, but I definitely remember the potatoes with chorizo. Thanks for the reminder because I'm making a 2017 dishes to make list and that just went on it.

    Oh my goodness, Abbe! Let the pinning festival and recipe recruitment begin =) Your chocolate chippers are a must to my wish-list. And your egg foo yong is so my jam - to quote the youngsters of today. Happy New Year, Abbe. Wishing you the best in 2017 =)

    As much as I love chocolate chip cookies and those potato bundles look great, I think I'd have to say your flavorful chicken soup is what I would love a taste of right now. Great collection of recipes.

    Happy New Year! Great list. I'd love a bowl of that Vietnamese Chicken Soup. I have a bad cold and Asian soups are my magic cure-all for colds. GREG

    So much deliciousness all in one place! I have loved all of your recipes but want to start with your Vietnamese Chicken noodle Soup as it is just one of the cold and dark days.

    Aren't these roundups fun? So interesting to go back and see what was popular, and surprising. I did a pickled beet recipe years ago that is still one of the most popular every year. And, as many local people in my circle of friends that complain about beets - fooy to them. 🙂 After seeing Borscht in your lineup, It makes me wonder if I shouldn't make my version again and repost with a decent photo. If I remember, you can hardly recognize that it's a soup in my old post. 🙂 Here's to a delicious 2017 Abby.

    Mmmm, some real goodies! I need to take another look at your borscht recipe -- I've been playing with different versions of that lately, and need to compare notes! 🙂

      Thanks John! As for the borscht...it was a pretty classic recipe and though I didn't try any others and since I had never tasted it as a child, I suppose it depends on any preconceived notions you might have as far as taste. And my mother reminds me that I haven't done summer borscht, which is cold!

    You did some great cooking last year. I could use some of that food right now . I have been traveling and the food choices I have made have been pretty bad.

      Thanks Gerlinde. My kids used to say that I never cooked the same things twice! It depends where I'm travelling when it comes to food. China was great!
