Hi Reader,

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and that you're able to relax and enjoy what's left of 2025!

We have a fun new year's eve planned here in Boise, but aside from that I'm spending my time this week catching up on work (and not eating cookies). 😂

I thought it would be fun to close out the year with the top 10 recipes of 2025. I'm always surprised at which recipes resonate with people. Have you tried any of them?

Thank you so much for being here and trying my recipes! If you have any special recipe requests for 2026, hit reply and let me know!

Have a happy, safe new year! 🎉

This sauce is thick, rich and so fresh tasting! It’s made with a handful of quality ingredients and it’s ready in about 30 minutes!

9. One Hour Rosemary Focaccia Bread

This is homemade focaccia bread without the hassle! It’s tender and fluffy with irresistible crispy edges, and it’s ready in one hour flat!

8. 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 fresh flavor!

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. Mexican Sweet Corn Cake

This corn cake is one of the first recipes I published in 2013 and it's been going strong ever since. It's a recreation of my favorite side dishes at Chevy's restaurant!

5. Blueberry Overnight Oats

These oats are creamy, satisfying and packed with juicy blueberries. They take just 5 minutes of prep and just 5 ingredients!

4. 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!

3. Asian Napa Cabbage Salad

If you've never tried Napa cabbage, this salad is the place to start. It's crisp, crunchy and bursting with sweet and savory flavor!

2. Baked Zucchini Chips

These 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!

1. 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!
