Top 10 Favorites for 2024

Here we are at the end of 2024. Quite the year when it comes to trying new recipes. I hit my goal of 170 new recipes. That's a CRAP ton of new recipes. 

As I continue to try new recipes one thing becomes crystal clear to me, all the recipes I try are almost always close to one I tried in the past - only with slight variations. I have a "style" in my cooking and it's pretty clear. 

This years saw some amazing recipes and some not so amazing. Here's my list of my top 10 favorites this year.

And if you're interested in stats like I am (or is it that I'm just a data nerd), here are the stats for this year. 

Month over month looks like I maintain a pretty good average. May was the month I traveled for a couple of weeks, so that explains the low number of recipes. December is clearly the most I've made, and that's primarily because I was focused on hitting my annual goal. 

Year over Year you can tell when I truly started tracking and cooking like a crazy person. Covid got me cooking and I never looked back.
