Top 16 Recipes of 2016

Happy 2017! Before we count down the most popular recipes of 2016 and jump into the New Year with heaps of new recipes, I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making Carlsbad Cravings possible. I am forever grateful and humbled that you are part of my foodie family. Carlsbad Cravings only exists because of you!

2016 as been an exciting year of LOTS of great food including about 150 new Carlsbad Cravings recipes. I love each recipe I post (otherwise I wouldn’t post it), and usually have a feeling before I post something if it will be a niche recipe that only certain people will want to try and love (like me 🙂 ) or if it will resonate with millions and go crazy on pinterest. Regardless of the outcome, I will always only post tried and true recipes that I am “craving,” so despite the hundreds of recipes that didn’t make it onto this “most popular” list, I hope you take a moment and check out my Recipe Index for more of my favorites. I will also be sharing my top personal favorites of 2016 in a separate post – you don’t want to miss those!
