Every time I publish a new recipe, it’s my new favorite recipe. Honestly. I love them all, so it wasn’t easy to pick out my favorite recipes of the year. Below, you’ll find ten recipes that have gotten great feedback from you guys and deserve a little extra attention.
Which recipe was your favorite? While we’re at it, what have you been craving lately? What would you like to see more of on Cookie and Kate? Specific recipe ideas and more general requests are most welcome!
Twenty fifteen was a great year for Cookie and Kate, and I’m eager to come up with fresh recipes for you next year. I don’t have any new ones for you this week because I’ve been typing up pages upon pages for our upcoming cookbook. I can’t wait to share them with you! Click through to see my favorites.
1)Thai Red Curry with Vegetables
Gluten free and vegan
“Kate, this is so so delicious. We’re marveling over how it tastes as good (or better) than restaurant quality – thanks for another amazing recipe!!” – Kim
2)Healthy Banana Bread!
“I’ve made this recipe twice. It is by far the best banana bread recipe I’ve EVER made. Even my three year old who doesn’t like anything says “this is the best bread ever!”. I can’t wait for your cook book!” – Suzanne
3)Green Goddess Hummus
Gluten free and vegan
“Oh my goodness, it turned out beautifully, doubling it in a 7-cup processor. What a delicious recipe – I went a little heavy on tarragon, because I love it, and I also added some spinach, kale, and swiss chard, and it was absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for posting such an easy and unusual recipe.” – Beth
4)Homemade Salsa Verde
Gluten free and vegan
“I’m going to make this delicious salsa verde again for Christmas dinner! When I made it first time, my husband loved it so much, and guess what? He is Mexican! Thanks for the great recipe!!!!” – AKI
5)Roasted Cauliflower and Lentil Tacos with Creamy Chipotle Sauce
Easily gluten free and easily vegan
“Kate, I have to admit that when I first saw this I was bit scared to make it. Of course, based on how delicious your other recipes are, I should have known better. Well, no need to fear….this is soooo delicious!!!! Another winner for sure, even my nonvegan family loved this.” – Tanya
6)Spinach Artichoke Lasagna
“Thanks for the recipe! I made it last night for a group dinner with 6 girlfriends, and it was a big hit. I love the fresh and healthy flavours. It will definitely become a regular!” – Mimi
7)Toasted Muesli with Almonds, Coconut and Dark Chocolate
Gluten free and vegan
“This is a complete staple in our house. I started making it a few months ago and haven’t looked for anything else since!” – Aimee
8)Spinach Artichoke Enchiladas
“I am a native New Mexican, and these are some of the best enchiladas that I have ever had! I’m sure they will become a staple in our house! Thanks again!” – Madeline
9)Spaghetti Squash Burrito Bowls
Gluten free and vegan
“I stumbled upon this recipe while heading to the supermarket for something to make for lunch. Absolutely amazing! I didn’t miss this meat. It’s healthier, tastier and cheaper than eating out at Chipotle. I’m so happy to see you are working on a cookbook.” – Taisha
10)
Easily gluten free and easily vegan
“I made these tacos a couple of weeks ago and loved them! Instead of Feta in the corn salad, I used Queso Fresco Casero cheese. I also used the Trader Joe’s corn tortillas, which in my opinion are the best corn tortillas out there. The corn salad can also be served as a side dish — so yummy.” – Ginger

Like you, every new recipe you bring out is my new favorite. If I had to choose one right now, and I’m going by extended non-vegetarian family who’ve all asked for a copy of the recipe, it’s your chili. It’s super quick to make and everyone is blown away by the taste. In fact, I’m bringing this to a pot luck New Year’s Eve party. Thanks for ALL your phenomenal recipes, Kate. Hoping your New Year’s Eve is great.

Thank you so much, Trish. Glad to hear the chili has been a hit with your friends. Funny thing is, my grandma made it and told me she didn’t love it! Gave the leftovers to my great aunt. Womp womp. :)

Your buckwheat waffles should’ve made the list!! they are sooooo delicious. I keep making them and since I have so many leftovers, I freeze them and they’re so fast to prepare when I’m in a rush during weekdays before going to school

Kate
Thanks, Ariel! I’m glad you’ve been loving those waffles. Now I want to make some for dinner…

I just had one of my new favorite snacks – fresh shish*to peppers from my friend’s garden sautéed in olive oil with sea salt. How about something inspired by those flavors? :)
Reply
Kate
Oh, I love shish*to peppers! I’ve been hesitant to use them in recipes because they’re not widely available, but now they’re at Trader Joe’s, so maybe I can come up with something! Thanks for the idea, Margot.

So many yummy recipes to love! I think if I had to pick just one I’d have to go with the enchiladas first thing but they all look insanely delish!

I enjoyed three of your recipes on Xmas- the rainbow carrots with creme fraiche (I put em’ on a bed of quinoa and lentils to keep it GF, worked out great), the pear crisp (w apples too) and the cinnamon whiskey sour (my husband added a hint of cayenne to his and that was quite good too).
I’ve tried a few of your recipes- all great! The one that got the most compliments ever was the honey mustard brussels slaw. I made mine with half brussels, half kale. I also ran the dressing in the vitamix, which made it extra creamy… I brought that to parties 3 times last summer and always got requests for the recipe!Reply
Kate
Wow, three C+K recipes on Christmas! So awesome. I’m glad you’ve been enjoying them. Your slaw sounds perfect!

Hold the phone – you’re making a cook book?! Well, Happy New Year to me! (this is, by far, my favorite recipe blog. I got a new job a few months ago and therefore haven’t stopped by in a while – but decided to today because I’m getting bored with my food rut. I can’t WAIT for your recipe book! Thank you for bringing such delicious, flavorful whole foods into my house!)

I absolutely loved those black bean and corn tacos as well! I made them a few times, and I’m happy to be reminded of them. Soo fresh and yummy!

Thank you Kate, being a vegetarian for me meant eating the same things over and over again since I did not know anything different I could make for myself. I tried some of the recipes and so far I am so pleased with myself and the delicious food I get to it now.
