Scrolling back through a year of recipes, I’m really excited about where I am with my cooking. I feel like 2023 was the year I really embraced everything I’ve learned around cooking for food restrictions, creating a mix of original dishes, as well as remixing a few classics to be more allergy-friendly.

And as much fun as it is to come up with all of these recipes, even more special than that is seeing how much y’all enjoy them when you try them, or how helpful they were to you in cooking for your own food restrictions. So, here’s a recap of 2023’s most popular recipes – all of which will be on our menu in 2024 as well. Happy New Year, y’all.

    Looks delicious! Do you have some favorite go-to mocktails that you could share? Either ready do drink or diy? So many I’ve tried are either kinda boring or just suuuuuper surgery
