Top 10 Recipes For 2020!

Share this recipe!

Enjoy our Top Ten recipes from last year!

2020 is officially past and though it wasn't the greatest year, This is How I Cook  cooked some pretty good food. 

See for yourself!

Let's start at #10 on the top ten list. A perfectly wonderful whole roasted cauliflower with feta cheese that would be awesome for a main course or an awe inspiring side dish! Trying to start out the new year with some healthier dishes? Well, this qualifies!

These Southern biscuit muffins from Paul Prudhomme are the real deal. These are so good, I think I'll make them to go with my black eyed peas that I'm cooking today!

Better Than Bisquick Muffins

Everyone needs an easy chicken dinner and this whole roasted chicken with lemons and dates is pretty awesome!

Burgers always make this list and my Spanish pork burger with saffron garlic aioli certainly deserves its spot. Truly a showoff burger, make this as soon as you can!
