The 10 Most Popular Recipes of 2020

With the end of the year quickly approaching, I wanted to share the 25 Most Popular Recipes of 2019. We’ve shared out so many delicious recipes this past year, but below are the top 25…as picked by all of you. Can you guess the most popular HBH recipe of the year

As crazy as it is to all of us, the year is coming to an end. And even more crazy? We’re coming to the end of a decade. I realize that just about everyone is saying this right now, but time goes so quickly. You blink and the year is over, especially this year. It’s been one for the books and I’m so grateful and happy to say that 2019 has been one of my happiest (and also hardest) years of my life. So many incredible milestones were reached this year. And so much of the success that HBH has seen is all thanks to you guys! I know I sound so cheesy saying this, but thank you all so much for being the most kind, supportive, and amazing community. You all truly feel like family to me!

So today I’m sharing the top most popular recipes of 2019. This year’s recipes have been my favorite. This was the year that I really embraced keeping things SUPER SIMPLE, but somehow managed to keep them flavorful and colorful too. It’s been a challenge, but one that kept me thinking outside the box. Thankfully, you’ve all seemed to truly enjoy these recipes!!

The theme I’ve been seeing over the past year has been a love for the cozy vegetarian recipes. Dishes with mushrooms, garlic butter, onions, and cheese are always popular. This year’s better than takeout style recipes are tried and true weeknight favorites. And meatballs…which was shocking to me…were another favorite enjoyed by so many.

Oh! And sweetbreads, so many of you seem to really LOVE them, especially banana…and pumpkin too.

What was your personal favorite? Dying to know if it made this list? Or is your 2020 favorite from the HBH Super Simple cookbook? What recipes would love to see most in 2020? Please do let me know!

Greek Lemon Chicken Bowls

With Sizzled Mint Goddess Sauce. Grilled Greek chicken (or roasted), served bowl style with orzo, roasted peppers, avocado, feta cheese, cucumbers, and the most deliciously addicting sizzled mint goddess sauce.

 Healthy Chipotle Chicken Sweet Potato Skins

Kind of like cheesy nachos, but instead of chips, we’re substituting crisp sweet potatoes skins…so much better!

Caprese Pesto Pasta Bake

Pasta tossed with slow-roasted cherry tomatoes, basil pesto, burrata cheese, and prosciutto. All baked until the cheese is melty and the prosciutto extra crisp.

One Pot Creamy French Onion Pasta Bake

The ultimate cold-weather comfort food. Think French onion soup, with the addition of pasta, a creamy sauce, and melty Gruyere cheese.

Sheet Pan Blackened Salmon Bowl

With Potatoes and Avocado Goddess Sauce. Baby potatoes roasted alongside blackened salmon and served bowl style with steamed brown rice, feta cheese, and the most deliciously addicting avocado goddess sauce.

 Cream Cheese Swirled Pumpkin Bread

Better than your coffee shop. Moist pumpkin bread sweetened with maple syrup, swirled with cream cheese, topped with sweet cinnamon sugar, and served warm. So GOOD!

Souper Creamy Lemon Butter Cheesy Zucchini Orzo

Kind of like risotto, kind of like soup, kind of DELICIOUS.

 Flaky Honey Brioche Bread

This light, buttery, super soft, and eggy brioche bread is swirled with hints of sweet honey. It makes for the most delicious, extra fancy companion to your morning coffee.

Minute Coq au Vin Chicken Meatballs

With browned butter mashed potatoes. Best for those cold fall and winter nights when you want a fancy slow-braised chicken, but you want it ready in less than an hour.

 Roasted Garlic Spaghetti Squash Lasagna Boats

Spaghetti squash stuffed with a spicy chicken, tomato-based ragu sauce, and creamy cheesy béchamel sauce made with fresh ricotta and provolone cheeses. It’s all baked together until the sauce is bubbling hot and the cheese is melted and perfect.
