Interesting (and small!) best of list for me this year. Lots of sweet and one salad  Excellent 12/4 Chocolate Espresso Cupcakes (CLBB) Very moist, not too sweet. Used Valhrona dark from TJ’s for ganache. Droste for cupcakes. Did not add espresso beans to the filling. 6/30 Strawberry Margarita (Rachael Ray 6/13) Such fresh flavor and not too sweet. 4/15 Pecan Sandies (BC Foolproof) Nice depth of flavor from ground pecans and turbinado. I think these will be a fair entry for me. Good several days later and after being frozen. *2nd place at Canfield Fair! 2/28 Chopped Salad (BHG 6/10) So good! Excellent method and dressing was delicious. We used sour cream. 2/15 The Best Banana Muffins (Hungry for Comfort) Nice crumb, moist, bitter from walnuts, sweet from cinnamon. |

Erin, thanks for posting your best of '16 list. They sound great, I will certainly be checking out the recipes and add them to my to try list. I don't think I've ever made margaritas at home, well, gotta add that to my 2017 resolutions. : )
I always like to read what you're cooking and your awesome party menus. From all the recipes you've tried (which is impressive) and it gets the top rating .....
Happy new year! Have a great year and fun cooking!

I have been lurking for years, and the monthly and annual "hits" is one of my favorite threads. Thanks to everyone that has taken time to participate over the years, I have gotten so many great recipes! In 2016 I made 124 new recipes and I am adding 26 of them to my recipe binders. Here are six that stood out:
Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole (Damn Delicious) - Comfort in a casserole dish
Cilantro Soy Turkey Burgers with Orange Sauce (Recipe Girl) - I didn't serve with buns
Scallops with Warm Corn-Chorizo Salad (Family Circle) - I added lemon juice and roasted grape tomatoes, subbed andouille for the chorizo and used blackening seasoning on the scallops
Sunny's Pork Kebabs and Baked Pineapple Rice (Food Network) - I saw her make this on The Kitchen
Asian Lettuce Wrap Chicken Chopped Salad (Skinnytaste) - I added edamame and crunchy wonton strips
Blueberry Custard Pie (The Girl Who Ate Everything - I'm not a huge pie fan but this one was a little bit different
Cheers to more great recipes in 2017!
