If all the dishes we made from scratch this year were contained in a virtual recipe file, which 10 creations would rise to the top as our favorites?
We flipped through our 2017 recipe file, and we learned a couple of things: First, we swooned over many a dish this year. Second, it wasn’t easy to pick just 10 favorites. But we did. From a lasagna with an unexpected twist to a Southern grilled peach salad, we’ve picked our most scrumptious recipes of the year.
Here they are. Enjoy!
