Best Recipes of 2020!

December 30, 2020 by My Farmhouse Table 2 Comments

Best Recipes of 2020!

First off, I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and Santa brought you everything that was on your wish list for the year. Second, who else is ready to kick 2020 to the curb and move into a new year? I know I am. 2020 had some bright spots, but man, did it have some speed bumps too! I never want to end on a bad note, so for the final blog post of the year I’m wrapping up with a compilation of the Best Recipes of 2020!

Best Recipes of 2020 The Best Recipes of the Year The Best Breakfast Recipes The Best Easy Dinner Recipes The Best Dessert Recipes My Farmhouse Table

Best Recipes of 2020 – Top 5

#5- Jiffy Mini Corn Dog Muffins

I posted this recipe back at the beginning of August. At that point in the year, it seemed almost everything fun and special had been canceled, including the Iowa State Fair.

County and state fairs have always been a highlight of my summers. I love the competition, the friendships, but probably most of all I love the food! Corn dogs are such a quintessential fair food, I couldn’t resist making some at home, and it appears since it comes in as the #5 most viewed new recipe on my site, y’all were missing fair season as much as I did.

#4- Candied Red Hot Cinnamon Pickles

Gardening and canning produce were a big theme for 2020. Maybe not as much as buying an overabundance of toilet paper, but to find canning lids and other supplies as the summer moved along was almost impossible!

My family has always enjoyed canning and any year that we have an abundance of cucumbers, which is often, we make these Candied Red Hot Cinnamon Pickles!

#3- Best Baked Cod Recipe

Even though I live in the very landlocked Midwest, my family always enjoys seafood and this Best Baked Cod Recipe is so incredible, simple and delicious.

A great option for a quick meal to serve unexpected dinner guests!

#2- Oven Baked BBQ Meatballs

Back in January, I introduced a new section and theme on the blog of “Double Dinners”. The concept is for a recipe to have one pan to eat the day you prepare the meal, and then a second pan to stick in the freezer for another day.

These Oven Baked BBQ Meatballs were the first “Double Dinners” recipe I made for the blog and you all obviously loved them!

Perfect to make now and freeze for later (or even make one now and gift the second pan to an elderly neighbor, single parent, or family getting ready for a newborn baby!).

*Public Service Announcement!* I plan on continuing the theme of “Double Dinners” for this January. So stay tuned for more fun recipes that serve double duty in the coming month.

#1- Classic 7 Layer Salad

As the recipe name implies, this one is a classic!

7 Layer Salad has been a staple at Midwest potlucks for as long as I can remember. Easter, family reunions, Thanksgiving, and of course, Christmas never seem complete without a casserole dish of this on the buffet line.

Best Recipes of 2020 – Honorable Mentions

Zucchini Cheese Breadsticks

Zucchini is one of those seeds that if you plant it in the garden you better be certain that you are willing to find someway to eat a zucchini a day for approximately 10.74589 weeks in the summer.

Okay. Maybe I’m being a little dramatic, but seriously, I want to ask the question.

Has anyone ever not had an over abundance of zucchini in their garden?

I think you are more likely to find someone who has a pet unicorn then fail at growing too much zucchini!

Because of this, I shouldn’t be shocked that finding recipes that have zucchini as the main ingredient are popular on this blog. If I am honest, these Zucchini Cheese Breadsticks are a favorite of mine!

The second “Double Dinner” recipe to make the list are these Baked Beef and Rice Burritos!

Easy, delicious, and perfect for an impromptu Mexican and Margarita night with your Best Friend!

(But, most of the time we just make frozen pizza).

With Easter just around the corner I thought it wo With Easter just around the corner I thought it would the perfect time to share this simple “How To” on boiling eggs.

I struggled for years getting the eggs to peel easily.... until finally the stars aligned with these instructions. It’s not anything too difficult or crazy. Simple and straightforward. With the shell coming off in almost one piece and the yolks are perfect every time! 👌🏻

I’m incredibly blessed that in my job I have the I’m incredibly blessed that in my job I have the opportunity to meet and get to know many different groups of people from every walk of life, but occasionally… there are certain ones who find a special place in your heart.

A gentleman I’ve been working with sent met copies of this in the mail yesterday and to say I (ugly) cried is probably an understatement. 

I’m not one to push politics (especially on social media) but all I want to say is this is why history matters. Your not going to find this sort of thing written in text books… but it is in the hearts and minds of a generation quickly fading away.

What is happening in the world is not just “news”. These are people’s lives. See the pain and affect this sort of war still has on a generation 75 plus years later. 

Context:
Picture 1- Poem written by my clients grandfather sometime after his son (client’s father) was KIA in WWII. The line that got me was… “It is just a sweet memory that chants the refrain… I’m glad I touched shoulders with you.” 😭 I think if you have ever lost someone dear to you… you can understand that line ❤️

Picture 2-3- Note from client to me on a copy of his dad’s obituary. I think it’s easy to sense how this sort of loss had an affect on multiple generations of a family.

It’s no secret I love to travel… and one of my It’s no secret I love to travel… and one of my favorite ways to experience new cultures is through the food.

So until I can finally make it to Italy for myself, I guess making delicious pasta dishes at home like this Authentic Carbonara will have to hold me over. Link in profile.
Buy yourself the flowers. Light the ‘good’ ca Buy yourself the flowers.

Light the ‘good’ candle.

Put on a spritz of your favorite perfume, not because you are going out, but because it makes you feel special.

Open the expensive bottle of wine that you’ve been saving for the ‘perfect’ occasion, and drink it for no particular reason at all. 

Stop saying “we need to get together” to a dear friend and then never actually making plans.
Leave your sweatpants on, messy bun in, and just BE with each other. Curl up on the couch with their dogs, kids, etc and enjoy some leftover Chinese food while catching up on your favorite shows.

Life is messy and real. 
Stop living FOR the perfect and just LIVE.
Don’t wait.
Make the memories WITHIN the mess. 

That’s the mindset I’m trying to live in these days, and you know what? 

I’m happier for it! ❤️
