Happy New Year Friends! Here’s one more look back at the blog before we move on! It’s a review of the 10 Most Popular Recipes of 2020.
Again, I want to say a huge thanks for following along. I love creating this blog and hearing from all of you! Thank you for your support and kind words.
I make all kinds of recipes, yet in this top ten RECIPE list, there are two category front runners.
The first is authentic CHINESE cuisine. This is a result of our direct influence from our dear Chinese friends! For those who don’t know, we hosted a student from Shanghai for a couple of years. We were the lucky beneficiaries of learning and tasting the incredible dishes of Zhengzheng and his Chinese friends.
The second theme is HEALTHY recipes. I try to eat a clean and healthy diet (80-90 percent of the time). I eat minimal grains, lots of healthy fats, and protein. This can include meals that are Keto, grain-free, Paleo, and Vegan friendly. It looks like many of you like to eat this way too! Watch for more nutritious ideas on the blog in 2021.
Below are the 10 Most Popular Recipes of 2020, from 10 to 1. Enjoy!
