The Top 10 Recipes of 2019!

Happy (almost) New Year! Today, I’m excited to take a peek back at the most popular and most often made-by-you recipes from 2019, as well as share a little bit about what 2020 holds for The Colorful Kitchen.

2019 was a really intense year for me both personally and professionally. I turned the manuscript in for The Colorful Family Table in December 2018, then 2 weeks later Baby L was born. I spent a huge amount of time and energy figuring out how to balance being a mama to a baby and a toddler, with running my own business and being a my own person outside of those two things. Parents who’ve been there can attest, it is not easy.

I definitely don’t feel like I’ve figured it out completely, but now that the book launch is mostly behind me (except for some fun events coming up early 2020!), and Baby L is no longer a newborn, our family is starting to find a better rhythm and I can almost see the light at the end of the insane-early-years tunnel.

I’ve really had to practice what I preach this year, and I’m proud to say that the recipes I shared on the blog in 2019 were more simplified (but just as colorful & delicious!) then ever. Even though cooking is my job, I’ve found myself stressing about what to make for dinner more in the past year than even before- and it’s helped me come up with some really tangible, simple strategies to make feeding my family even easier.

What’s ahead for The Colorful Kitchen in 2020…

I’m so excited to kick 2020 off with the Cook-the-Book Challenge!! Starting Monday, January 6th, we’re going to cook our way through The Colorful Family Table together. I want to help as many people as possible get more plants onto their plates, and the challenge is designed to help you do just that Plus, every recipe you make counts as one entry to win Whole Foods gift card. Join here!

I’m also super excited to launch two new programs in 2020!! Colorful Kids: The No-Stress Strategy for Raising Colorful Eaters is coming for the mamas and papas for babies- 4-year-olds. I cover everything you need to know about helping your little ones develop a healthy relationship with colorful, real food. Join the waitlist to be the first to know when it launches.

I don’t want to spill all the beans here, but I’m too excited to keep all the newness to myself. My new program, Even Easier: Meal-Prep, Make-Aheads & 5-Ingredient Recipes is also coming soon!! Join the waitlist and stay tuned for more details.

I can’t wait to share more details about both programs with you soon!

Ok, let’s get to the recipes!! These were to most-loved and most-made recipes that had the highest traffic on the blog from the past year. I have to say, these are definitely my personal favorites as well.
