Lets just start with the TOP post of the year and maybe all time!! Meal Planning Made Easy!!! Since posting this one it has been #1 daily almost every single day! I’ve got lots of breakfast and lunch ideas, as well as snacks that will help make life a whole lot easier and can help keep you on track with healthy eating!

Next up, Spinach & Artichoke Puff Pastry Cups! Maybe its the holidays, but this recipe has exploded over the last few months and for good reason… its delicious!!

How about pasta? Well there were quite a few popular ones this year, lets start with this gorgeous Easy Fettuccine Alfredo! Its creamy, delicious and a great quick weeknight meal.

Chicken is such versatile and I love creating new ways to make a delicious meal like this One Pan Roasted Chicken, Sausage, Potatoes & Mushrooms.

Lets throw in something super healthy shall we? Hugely popular this year was my Lean Green Smoothie {with Pineapple, Banana, Spinach & Vanilla Yogurt}. It is not only good for ya, but its incredibly delicious…. like so go good that my 6 & 4 year old request it!

How about a fabulous breakfast? Crepes with Whipped Orange Ricotta & Fresh Strawberry Sauce was a breakfast I threw together one Sunday morning and it quickly became a favorite in my home and here on the blog. Its fantastic!!

Maybe a savory breakfast is more your thing? Well, then surely this Sausage, Potato, Spinach & Cheddar Frittata will hit the spot! It really is a flavorful dish that works for any time of day.

Classics are classics for a reason and thats why this Italian Pasta Salad is always such a hit and one of the Best of 2015!

Ok lets get to one of my very favorites of all time and definitely a best from this year! My Lemon Raspberry Tart! It is gorgeous and easier to make then it looks. The flavors are absolutely incredible. This dessert will certainly WOW friends and family!

This next one was easily one of the most tasty lunches I’ve ever thrown together at home. BLT Chicken Salad Stuffed Avocados… every ingredient adds flavor, texture or a pop of color. It is perfection!

Somedays a good ole Italian Sub with Soppressata, Mozzarella, Roasted Peppers, Arugula & Olive Spread is good for the soul! This is simple and such a nostalgic one for me. This is the kind of sandwich I grew up enjoying.

How about an appetizer? Yup I’ve got these Fried Prosciutto Tortellini that everyone seems to love… getting this one on the best of list! Think fried ravioli but better!

Mexican or southwest inspired dishes are one of my favorite cuisines to cook up at home, the next two hit it on the head with incredible flavor so it is no surprise that they were wildly popular! Southwest Chicken Salad with Cilantro Lime Dressing & Grilled Chicken, Avocado, Rice & Cheddar Burritos are MUST tries!

How about a big pot of comfort food, like this One Pot Mac & Cheese! With just 5 ingredients, you cant go wrong! Always a crowd pleaser!

Looking for a hearty, meatless, delicious lunch or light dinner idea? How about these Falafel Pita with Tzatziki Sauce?!?! So pretty too right!??! I’m really glad this on is on the best of list!

The next 3, well they are all Italian inspired dishes that I am just thrilled to share again. I am so glad you enjoyed these Sicilian Rice Balls, Bucatini with Sausage & Kale and this Skillet Tortellini & Meatballs as much as my family enjoyed them!!

Last, but certainly not least… the Best Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream!! A recipe from a fellow blogger that I just fell in love with and has become my go to vanilla cupcake! These are the perfect sweet treat and a great way to wrap up the Top 20 Recipes of 2015!!
