With the New Year almost here, we are sharing the 25 Most Popular Recipes of 2021. This has been a year of A LOT of new recipes, a lot of cooking, so much baking, and plenty of cocktail mixing…more than ever before! Below are the top 25 most popular recipes. Can you guess the most popular HBH recipe of the year? What’s your favorite?
This post is one of my favorite posts of the year!! I share this “Popular Recipes” post every year at about this time. Surprisingly, it’s always one of my more popular posts. I never think you’ll really enjoy any type of round-up style post because there’s no new recipe. But you guys have shown me otherwise. I guess it’s nice to have everyone’s favorite recipes all in one place for easy reference!
Personally, I love this post because it’s so fun to see all the major recipes hits. Many of which I would never have guessed would be so popular. Sometimes I share out recipes and think they’ll fall totally flat, but then you end up loving them! So this most popular recipes of the year post is always fun for me to see what makes the cut!
Before I dive into the recipes, I really just want to say a huge thank you to you all. It’s been so much fun seeing what everyone has been cooking and baking, especially this holiday season. I said this at Thanksgiving, but we’ve never seen so many HBH recipes being made…even more so this year than last! There’s been a whole lot of cocktail mixing, cinnamon roll baking, pasta tossing, and so much cookie baking. It’s incredible, and I’m extra thankful for you guys and your constant support and kindness. We love our little HBH family.
I hope you guys are having an amazing holiday break!!

The white chicken chili and sun-dried tomato and orzo chicken are new staple recipes in our house! Delicious – thank you 🙂
I love to hear this Lucy! Thanks so much for making the recipes! xTieghan
Thank you for the love and dedication you put in to creating and sharing recipes, Tieghan! You have made another year of staying in and cooking so much more enjoyable. In fact, your recipes are so good that I’m often disappointed with restaurant dining now. And while it isn’t hard to beat fast food, that Crunchwrap supreme is crazy good! Took the leftovers with us to eat on the way home after a day of skiing…soooooo perfect. Happy 2022!
Hey Lindsey,
Thanks so much for your kind message! I am so glad you have enjoyed the recipes, it makes me so happy to hear! Happy New Year! xTieghan

Hey Kate,
