14 Comments

Drumroll, please! Yesterday, I shared my favorite recipes from 2018, and today I’m sharing your favorite recipes. I’m thrilled that these recipes have become staples in your kitchen.

I had a hunch that the blueberry muffins and cauliflower soup from Love Real Food might make the list. The crispy potato wedges were a clear winner, and I’m happily surprised that you’re as crazy about my sunshine salad dressing as I am.

Thank you so much for your feedback on the recipes. I work hard on them and I love hearing from you in the comments and seeing how your recipes turn out on Instagram (don’t forget #cookieandkate)! You keep me inspired.

4) Peanut Slaw with Soba Noodles

5) Healthy Blueberry Muffins

Easily gluten free and easily vegan

“These are fabulous. I’ve made them many times since buying the cookbook and I can’t get enough! They’re light and fluffy and just sweet enough. I always make them with honey and light olive oil, and I always make a double batch and freeze them to have for breakfast over the course of a couple of weeks. Fantastic recipe!” – L.S.

6) Creamy Roasted Cauliflower Soup

“Omg this is the best cauliflower soup recipe I have ever made and I have made a lot. This will definitely go into my soup rotation. Thank you Cookie and Kate for providing such great tasting recipes.” – Angie

7) French Carrot Salad

“Oh my gosh!!!! Thank you so much for posting this recipe. I spent a summer in Paris in 2006 and fell in love with this salad, which was cheap and vegetarian so it checked all my boxes. I’ve been meaning to recreate it for awhile, and I finally did with your recipe. It was delicious and took me back. Amazing <3” – K.

8) Ultra Crispy Baked Potato Wedges

Gluten free and vegan

“Kate! These crispy baked potato wedges are the new food love of my life! Seriously! They are better than any deep fried french fries or oven baked fries I’ve ever had. Soaking the potatoes in hot water is the secret of all secrets in achieving the perfect crispiness on the outside while keeping the insides soft…exactly what everyone wants in a french fry. I used avocado oil, which has a high smoking point and they were to die for! Thanks for all of your wonderful recipes. Love your blog :)” – Suzette

9) Hearty Spaghetti with Lentils & Marinara Sauce

“This recipe is awesome! As a vegetarian I’m always looking for something nutritious and simple yet gourmet. This one delivers all! Love love love it!” – Claudia

10) The Very Best Granola

“This IS the best! I’ve been making it almost every week for the past six months and we still can’t get enough of it. My husband thanks me every time I make it! We can no longer eat store-bought cereal. Ten stars! Thank you!” – Dia
