Our staff writer often shares her family's favorite recipes in the newsletter, bringing a personal touch to each month (her great-grandmother made Ambrosia Salad for every family gathering while she was growing up). Here are the top five recipes our readers loved in 2025. Did your favorite make the list?
#5 Retro Recipe: Meatloaf (February 2025)
We kicked off our 70th Anniversary celebration with this classic dish that defined mid-century American kitchens.
#4 Retro Recipe: Seven-Layer Salad (May 2025)
Another throwback favorite! This beautiful layered salad was a staple of the 70s and 80s. The best part is mixing it all together!
#3 Lettuce Wraps (January 2025)
After the busy holiday season we were craving something fresh, light, and easy to put together. These lettuce wraps check all the boxes!
#2 Easy Hamburger Soup (September 2025)
We greeted soup season (and back-to-school) with this easy, hearty, comforting soup that can be on the table in just 30 minutes.
#1 Peach Cobbler (August 2025)
This was your favorite recipe of 2025 and we don't disagree with you! Beautiful, seasonable peaches, a great cobbler topping, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream to top it off. What could be better than that on a hot August day?
Here's to a great year of good friends, good food, and good times! On to 2026!
