Don’t miss these favorite recipes from 2014, collections compiled by you, by me, and by my family!
Happy New Year, all!
This is the first time I’ve written a year-end post, recapping all the deliciousness that happened throughout the past twelve months here on a farmgirl’s dabbles. A conversation with a couple of friends earlier this week convinced me to give it a try. They talked about how they always enjoy reading and/or writing these posts. And now, having completed one myself, I can see why. Perusing through the archives, flipping the calendar from month to month, season to season, really puts into perspective everything that goes into keeping this site alive. The process was extremely gratifying, and inspired me even more to jump head first into 2015!
I’ve created three separate Favorite Recipes From 2014 collections. The first, shown above, is a list of the top ten recipes as shown by Google Analytics (in no particular order). These recipes were chosen by you!
[rss-cut]
- Greek Chopped Salad
- Pickled Red Onions
- Foolproof Peanut Butter Fudge {2 ingredients!}
- Slow Cooker Hungarian Goulash
- Tator Tot Hotdish {2 ways…with and without canned soup!}
- End of Summer Herby Chicken Chili Pot
- Grilled Lobster Tails with Sriracha Butter
- Slow Cooker Coconut Curry Beef
- Grilled Chili Lime Pork Tenderloin
- Strawberry Rhubarb Crumb Bars
This second compilation highlights my own favorites. It was no easy feat to narrow this list down to ten recipes. I’ll also add that I could easily classify all of your favorites (from the first collage), as favorites of my own!
- Cheesy Potato Bacon Skillet
- Grilled Angel Food Cake with Mom’s Super Simple Rhubarb Sauce
- Pickled Vegetables
- Roasted Mexican Cauliflower with Pepitas
- Mom’s Ultra Soft and Tender Caramel Rolls
- Pineapple Mint Julep Sangria
- Harvest Salad with Butternut Squash, Maple Pecans, and Curry Fig Vinaigrette
- Sun-Dried Tomato Spread
- Herby Grilled Chicken Kebabs with Grapes and Shallots
- Sriracha Deviled Eggs with Garlic Toast Crumb Topping
This final selection of recipes was handpicked by my family. Blake and the girls sat down and clicked through the archives during breakfast today, and each gave me their two favorite recipes from 2014. Before they let me know, I played a little game in my head, guessing which recipes would be on their lists. I got one correct for each person, so fun!
Blake:
- Caramel Honey Nut Cheerios Squares
- Sriracha Garlic Toasts with Shrimp

Thank you so much, Judy. That chicken chili is wonderful. I’m not sure where you live, or your availability to fresh sweet corn – but make sure to try this recipe when you have access to fresh corn on the cob. So good! Happy New Year to you!
