Favorite Recipes from 2016 {#FarmgirlFaves}

All the Favorite Recipes From 2016…collections compiled by you, by me, and by my family!

It’s hard to believe there are only a couple more days left in this year. Where did 2016 go?!

Just like the past couple of years, I’ve created three separate collections of Favorite Recipes From 2016. The first, shown above, is a list of the top ten recipes as ranked by Google Analytics (in no particular order). These are the recipes created in the past year that had the most page views on a farmgirl’s dabbles. These recipes were chosen by you!

• Grilled Lemon Pepper Chicken Kebabs
• Rømmegrøt (Norwegian pudding)
• Lemon Heaven Bars
• Extra-Marshmallow Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Bars
• Oreo Cheesecake Bites
• Touch of Grace Biscuits
• Lemon Broccoli with Beans and Bacon
• Cheesy Grilled Skillet Potatoes with Bacon and Herbs
• Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats
• Nutella Cheesecake Brownie Bites

This second grouping is a compilation of my own favorites. This was not an easy thing for me to do. To pick just 10 recipes?!

• Grilled Margarita Shrimp Kebabs (So. Awesome. Good.)
• Quick Grilled Beef Pho (A bowl of warm and savory deliciousness.)
• Watermelon Jicama Salsa (So good, I could eat this salsa as a salad!)
• One-Bowl Almond Chocolate Chunk Blondies with Sea Salt (Quick to make + irresistible!)
• Margarita Recipe for One and For a Crowd (My go-to big-batch summer cocktail!)
• Fluffy Whipped Blueberry Butter (Like frosting for your muffins and breads!)
• Butterscotch Chocolate Chunk Blondies with Smoked Salt (That smoked salt with butterscotch and chocolate!!)
• Grilled Romaine and Tomato Salad with Bacon and Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing (This dressing has become an overall family favorite. And have you tried grilling romaine?!)
• Cheesy Stuffed Mushrooms Grilled on a Cedar Plank (Want!!!!)
• Gingerbread Brownies (Fudgy spiced chocolate yum.)

I also can’t resist mentioning a few more of my top picks! >>> Creamy Wild Rice Casserole with Sausage and Mushrooms >>> Grilled Veggies Salad with Grilled Vidalia Onion Dressing >>> German Potato Salad >>> Black and White Cheesecake Bars >>> Green Apple, Pineapple, and Fennel Salad with Honey Ginger Dressing. Okay, I’ll stop now. :)

And this final selection of recipes was handpicked by my family. Blake and the girls clicked through the archives and each one gave me their two favorite recipes from 2016. I think I have the most fun finding out what they, my most special people in the world, liked best from the past year!

Blake:

• Rømmegrøt (Norwegian pudding) (A recipe from his childhood…he said this was the best he’s ever had!)
• Breakfast Egg Salad with Bacon

Hatti:

• No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie Bars
• Chocolate Dipped Cherry Macaroons

Tessa:

• Pepperoni Grilled Cheese
• Extra Marshmallow Rice Krispies Bars with Confetti
