Did your favorite recipe make the list of the top recipes from this past year?

Just like that, another year has come and gone. It is hard to believe how quickly 2022 passed, especially when so much of the year was spent behind the scenes, working on life, routines, and the recipes that have been part of this site for a long time.
This year, instead of focusing only on brand-new ideas, I spent much of my recipe time revisiting old favorites. Some of these recipes have lived in the archives for years, quietly waiting to be rediscovered. Others have always been reader favorites, the kind of dependable dishes and desserts people come back to again and again. With a little care, fresh attention, and a reminder of why they are so good, these classic recipes found their way back into the spotlight.
That is what makes this year’s list especially fun. The top recipes of 2022 are not just new trends or quick flashes of popularity. They are tried-and-true recipes with lasting appeal: chewy cookies, celebration cakes, cozy dinners, creamy frosting, homemade salad, fluffy doughnuts, no-bake desserts, rich chocolate cake, and a simple pie crust method that makes baking feel easier.
Whether you love baking from scratch, need a reliable dessert for a special occasion, or are looking for a flavorful dinner idea, this collection has something worth saving. These reader-favorite recipes are delicious, approachable, and full of the comforting flavors that make homemade food so memorable.
So, without further ado, here are your top recipes of 2022.
