Cheers to 2025 and the Best of 2024! 🎉


Hi Reader,

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and that you're able to relax and enjoy what's left of 2024!

We have been visiting family in California for a week, which has been really nice. I will have a lot of work to catch up on when I return home but it's been nice taking a break!

I thought it would be fun to close out the year with the 10 most popular recipes of 2024! If you haven't tried them, I highly recommend doing so. :)

Thank you so much for being here...I truly appreciate your support! Have a happy, safe new year!

Happy cooking,

Marcie


Top 10 Recipes of 2024

​10. Peanut Butter Banana Oat Bars​

These bars are a wholesome, delicious snack that tastes like a treat, and they include just a handful of simple ingredients!

​9. White Bean Turkey Chili​

This is my most popular chili recipe! It's packed with hearty ground turkey, creamy white beans and it's bursting with flavor!

​8. Mashed Butternut Squash​

This mashed butternut squash is one of our favorite sides! It's velvety smooth with the flavor of garlic and chives, and it's so easy to make!

​7. Key Lime Pie​

This is my family's most requested pie! It's sweet and tangy with a buttery graham cracker crust and it's the easiest pie you'll ever make!

​6. Homemade Applesauce​

You'll never buy applesauce at the store again once you see how easy it is to make yourself, and you just can't beat the fresh flavor of homemade!

​5. Parsnip Puree​

Try this recipe and discover why I love this parsnip puree more than mashed potatoes! They're velvety smooth and creamy with a slightly sweet, earthy flavor that sets them apart!

​4. Air Fryer Shrimp​

This air fryer shrimp is crisp on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned with a simple spice blend. They're great served as an appetizer, or as a topping for pasta and salads!

​3. Blueberry Baked Oatmeal Crisp​

This is baked oatmeal like no other! The oats soak overnight to create a soft, fluffy texture, then it's studded with juicy blueberries and topped with a crispy streusel!

​2. Apple Crisp​

This is my most popular dessert recipe for good reason! It's brimming with chunky apples, the warm flavor of cinnamon and a golden brown crispy streusel!

​1. Baked Zucchini Chips​

These baked zucchini chips are like magic. Slice them very thinly, toss them in olive oil and coat with breadcrumbs and parmesan. Bake until super crispy for the ultimate snack!

Hi Reader, I love cooking, but I hate washing dishes. I assume that I'm not alone, so I try to develop one pot dinner recipes as much as possible. The less dishes the better, right? Just in case you feel the same way, I've rounded up 15 one pot dinners and linked them below. They include minimal prep (most of which can be done in advance), and most of them are ready in 45 minutes or less. These one pan wonders are all easy, delicious and guaranteed to make clean up a breeze. :) I'm obsessed...

Louie salad dressing

Hi Reader, It's salad season, and there's no better way to dress them than with homemade salad dressings. Your salads deserve the best! Luckily I've got you covered with all the salad dressing recipes you need to get you through the summer (and then some!). I love prepping a batch of balsamic vinaigrette and honey mustard dressing at the beginning of the week to drizzle over my salads. They take all of 10 minutes to prep with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand! My green...

Tarragon chicken salad

Hi Reader, I started lifting weights a little over a year ago to get stronger and strengthen my bones. I realized that I wasn't getting enough protein, so I've really been trying to up my protein intake. I try not to eat a lot of dairy, and I'm not a big fan of cottage cheese (which isn't too popular these days!), but thankfully there are plenty of other great protein sources that I love.
