Hi friends! Happy New Year!!!

To be honest, I had no idea you guys adored cocktails so much! I mean, I was little bit surprised to see THREE cocktails made the top 4 spots. Obviously your love of libations is one of the reasons why we get along so swimmingly. 😉

Before we count it down, let me just say, I have some SERIOUSLY scrumptious things planned for you guys this year. So, prepare yourselves for an EPIC year FILLED with downright delicious, good eats!!

Until then, here are the recipes you clicked, read, made and love the most last year…

10. Slow Cooker Thai Chicken Noodle Soup

Ridiculously easy, and made with the convenience of the slow cooker, I was happy to see this mash up of Thai chicken curry and classic chicken noodle soup made the top ten list!

Moist and fluffy (from the addition of yogurt), loaded with tart lemon flavor, topped with sweet streusel and finished with a sticky, rich glaze, these flavor packed muffins were also one of my personal favorites of 2017!

4. Pumpkin Pie Martini

These martinis seemed to be slightly controversial on social media, and some people didn’t seem to share the pumpkin-flavored-everything enthusiasm that every fall season seems to bring. But, that didn’t stop this pie flavored martini from taking the number 4 spot!

3. One Pot Creamy Lemon Chicken Pasta

I got a lot of messages, emails and photo tags on Instagram about this creamy-dreamy one pot wonder. It’s fast, fabulous, packed with flavor and the most loved weeknight dinner 2017.

2. Sour Apple Tequila Cocktail – the lucky shamrock

Not going to lie, I was floored to see this cocktail made the top 10 list. Apparently controversial cocktails are my jam, because this is another one that you guys either loved or loathed. But, love it or hate it, plenty of you seemed to be channeling the spirit of your inner Irish with this boozy libation!

1. Apple and Gin Cocktail

Tart, slightly sweet and smooth with a fruity apple forward taste, this cozy autumn cocktail was the most viewed recipe of 2017. Clearly you guys have stellar taste, because this little libation is one of my personal favorites as well!

    Great 10, Chey! No wonder 4 coctails have made to the top 10. They always are so insanely irresistible and appealing. My favorites from this gorgeous list would be 8, 5, 4, and 3. But I am totally surprised why any of yours Naan/flatbread pizza are here. I believe you shared some amazing ideas last year.

    Happy New Year, Chey! I hope you had the most wonderful holidays! This post is making me very hungry, and very thirsty. I’m so glad the apple and gin cocktail made it on the list because it’s a reminder that I need to try it sooner rather than later. . .I can probably wait until tonight but no promises 🙂
