Best Recipes of the Year

This has been quite a year! Like all years it had its ups and downs and with marking an end to the current year, I always have lots of hope and promise for the coming year. Each year, I like to look back at the reader favorites from the year. These are just the recipes posts and while some of the all-time reader favorite recipes are from other years, I am only compiling here the best recipes of the year, published in 2016.  I love that there is a wide variety of foods here from casseroles to smoothies to desserts. That means to me that most of you are a lot like me. I love making comforting casseroles, but find the need for some sweets (especially chocolate) to complete my world. In addition, we like to include a healthy smoothie and serving of fruit now and then to balance our diet.

Here are the top 10 best recipes of the year from Organized Island for 2016.

These easy Chili Verde Enchiladas are so good and authentic, no one will ever guess you made them in less than 30 minutes! My family loves them!

This meal is so easy and the green chili makes these enchiladas special.

 

Fresh asparagus, spaghetti, ham and spices come together for tasty dinner (and a great way to use leftovers)!

Ham and Asparagus Spaghetti

A wonderful meal made with fresh asparagus and ham, swirling in spaghetti. A great way to use up leftover ham too!

 

Warm up this season with this easy Chicken Tetrazzini recipe. Mushrooms, chicken and cheese, swirled in pasta.Chicken Tetrazzini Recipe

 Made with fresh mushrooms, chicken and Parmesan cheese, it is a comforting classic casserole. This recipe does not include any creamy condensed soup, so you can really control the sodium and cream.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
