So many good recipes here. I made the Zuppa Toscano, corn chowder and Korean beef bowls and loved all of them. I have the baked ziti bookmarked to make very soon. Making your cheesy taco soup this week.

I can’t say I have an absolute favorite, as ALL your recipes were amazing and sooooooo goooood…..but if I was forced to really pick something, it would have to be the Chipotle Chicken Empanadas …..made them AGAIN for New Year’s Eve and they were gone in like 3 minutes I think…not kidding….burning hot out of the oven and gone!!! Thank you, Jen, always for the amazing photography and mouth watering recipes that you do. Blessed New Year to you and your husband…..

  Thank you for following along and making my recipes Judi! I am thrilled you love them so much – wahoo! That is awesome the Chicken Empanadas are your favorite and such a hit at New Year’s Eve! They are a newer recipes so I haven’t had much feedback on them, so I especially love hearing that! Thank you for taking the time to comment and I wish you and yours the Happiest New Year!

We loved the Honey Balsamic Beef and the Southwest Orzo Salad with Chipotle Honey Lime Vinaigrette! Also, it isn’t a 2017 recipe but we recently tried the Sheet Pan Chili Dijon Pork Tenderloin and it was absolutely incredible! Any chance for some Instant Pot recipes? I got one for Christmas and I am totally intimidated by it!!! Thanks for the great recipes and Happy New Year!

  Hi Dani, thank you so much for taking the time to comment! I love all of those recipes too! It makes my heart so happy to hear others are enjoying my recipes! I don’t have plans for instant pot recipes as I don’t currently own one and like to post recipes that everyone can make but more and more people are getting them so that might change 🙂 A Bountiful Kitchen has some Instant Pot Recipes, but more importantly, at the bottom of the index, she has a “HOW TO USE” Post: http://abountifulkitchen.com/category/instant-pot-2/ I hope that’s helpful! Happy 2018!

hi jen. i love your recipes. we have had million dollar baked penne (using elbow pieces instead of penne). had enough for two meals and a couple lunches. will be making again. we also loved the cheesy baked italian meatballs (i could eat these everyday). we also tried the italian mozzarella chicken foil packets – tasty and so easy. will be making the baked cheddar ranch chicken tenders in the fairly near future. there are quite a few more that i’ m interested in. thanks for sharing so much with us. patti in florida
