I know I say it every year, but I can’t believe that 2015 is over. I feel like it really flew by with no time to do any of the things I promised myself I would do, but when I look back, I actually did a lot. I like to take the end of the year to take the time to contemplate and reflect, and just like last year, I perused the archives to see what I spent the year cooking.

In 2014, I did a round up of recipes that I loved, but this year I’m mixing it up a bit and posting up the recipes that were the most popular as decided by you! It looks like you guys are obsessed with chicken, pork bell, comfort food, and quick loaves. Are any of these personal favorites or did I miss a post that you can’t get enough of?

    You left out your Vietnamese fish tacos! I make that frequently and just had it tonight. I add a couple of things- a squiggle of Kewpie mayonnaise, some Thai basil, and a jalapeno herb sauce that’s a Mexi-Viet fusion based on one served at Same Same in Philadelphia PA.
    Your Sriracha roasted cauliflower is also a favorite of mine.

  7. The pork belly pasta… omg. I keep seeing pork belly this morning. I think it’s a sign! Happy new year :)

  8. MIKE IS A LUCKY MAN. Sheesh to all this deliciousness! Happy new year beautiful friend! Here’s to even more piles of fried chicken, pork belly and comfort food this year!!! XOXO
