It's often very hard to decide if a recipe gets the coveted listing of "Favorite". I try so many recipes that sometimes they all blur together. Even as I read my list of favorites some of them I don't even remember. 

And some of them are the standouts. These are the ones that as I glance over my list of recipes, THESE I remember. Some I've made multiple times and plan on making them more in 2024.

My Top 5

These were my 5 favorite recipes of 2023. These aren't in any favorite order.  

• Flank Steak in Adobo - This one is a stand out because it was so flavorful and so amazing the next day. It reminded me of Chili Colorado, which I always order when going out to Mexican food. The depth of flavor in this recipe was amazing. It is a Cook's Country recipe so I shouldn't be surprised. 
• Porto Bifanas - I made these right after we got back from Portugal. I was so impressed with their Bifana sandwiches that I wanted to replicate it for the Sunday Dinner group. And it was one of those recipes that when eating, the group is silent. 
• German Pork Cutlets - I set up a German Sunday Dinner theme after we returned from German and yet it took me over a year and a half to get to it. I was going to do German Sausages but couldn't find any. So I had to find an alternative. Google showed me this recipe and OH LORD was it amazing. 
• Honey Butter Skillet Corn - I made this for the Hunter Wives dinner this year. The dinner is always country fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy and corn. It was mom/dad's favorite recipe. This year I decided to make a different corn just to add to my recipe list. I've made this 5 more times since then. It's that good. 
• One Pot Beef Stroganoff - I have a Kick Ass Stroganoff recipe that is always my go to. This recipe may have changed my "go to" stroganoff.

I'm looking forward to 2024 and more recipes. I'm going to make my goal 175. That will be a challenge. Assuming I cook Saturday and Sunday I'll end the year at 166 new recipes. 175 will be a stretch but I can do it.
