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!

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).

Today is the start of Lent! And if you are a Cath Today is the start of Lent!

And if you are a Catholic or just looking for a meatless option or two for the next few weeks, here is a roundup of some of my favorites that have been shared on the blog. 

The Baked Cod recipe is on the menu tonight for me! How about you?

A friend recommended ‘The Cheat Sheet’ by @aut A friend recommended ‘The Cheat Sheet’ by @authorsarahadams to me this past week and let me say it was the perfect pre- Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day read that I couldn’t put down and ended up finishing in a day.

I don’t know if I’ve read a book where I caught myself smiling from cover to cover.

It was sweet (almost cavity inducing), WITTY, deliciously flirty, hard to put down, charming, with great comedic timing, and sexy! 

It’s a friends to lovers and fake dating tropes that is right up any Hallmark lover’s alley with a side helping of NFL. 

I found myself laughing out loud, cheering from the sidelines, and BLUSHING 😊. A touchdown in my book! 🏈

You know you’re a gardener if any of these gif’s and memes ring true to you too… Waiting for spring tests your patience that’s for sure, but buckets of blooms and produce make it worth it every time!
I’ve been a fan of Fr. Mike Schmitz and his podc I’ve been a fan of Fr. Mike Schmitz and his podcasts (Bible in a Year) for a while, but I found this quote of his the other day and it was as though I had been hit over the head with a wooden spoon. 

How often are we happy in life just to survive? I get it life is ROUGH- survival mode is sometimes all we can handle in a season, but after I read this quote I thought to myself- am I living too small of a story? Sometimes yes, I get stuck in my routines. The edges, things that push me, things that scare me- it’s uncomfortable. I doubt myself and what I’m capable of… but He doesn’t.  I’m going to cling to that truth as I continue to grow my own story. ❤️
Eucalyptus- I’ve wanted to grow it in my flower Eucalyptus- I’ve wanted to grow it in my flower garden for years- but I hear it’s  finicky and slow to germinate. You’ll fail far more than you will succeed. 

A lot like life, right?

Well, there’s one thing I’ve learned you can never grow if you don’t plant the seeds. So as we kick off a new year here’s your sign to plant the seeds in the areas of your life you want to see grow.

Faith. Relationships. Yourself. 

Sure you may fail more then you succeed, but you’ll never know if you don’t even start. ❤️ 

Thanks for sticking around for my unqualified TED talk 😜
I don’t know about you, but after the holidays a I don’t know about you, but after the holidays and all the cooking and prep that goes into them, I usually enter January wanting to be anywhere BUT my kitchen.

Every year when we get to the week of Thanksgiving Every year when we get to the week of Thanksgiving it almost feels like the Super Bowl equivalent for anyone who loves being in the kitchen and feeding a bunch of people. 

The planning. The prep. The game plan. It all comes together on Thanksgiving Day!

For this year’s starting lineup, try out this Sausage and Mushroom Thanksgiving Dressing. 

Just as delicious without all the turkey gravy as it is with!

“For everything there is a season.” One of my “For everything there is a season.”

One of my favorite verses in the Bible and with our first frost of the year expected tonight, I’m taking @floretflower advice and with this last bucket of blooms, savoring the beauty that is Summer on the farm. 

As much as I dislike the idea of not going out into my garden every few days to pick these stunners for bouquets to fill my vases and jars, I am happy to say goodbye to weeding, watering, and that big spider in the cosmo patch that we mutually agreed to stay out of each others way and we both will be fine 😜

Also… shoutout to one of my favorite new finds on Insta… @philipbowenmusic on the strings (seriously this dude is super talented!)

I’ve enjoyed going through this experience with her, including random texts and Snapchats of hormonal cries, nesting episodes, and of course, food cravings- which is how the baby earned the nickname of “Scoops”. 

A few weeks ago, out of the blue, I get a message that simply said- lemon bars. I guess when food cravings hit, they hit hard. So what is a best friend to do, but find my recipe for these Easy Homemade Lemon Bars.
