As we forge ahead into the new year, I wanted to take a moment to recap the Top Recipes on Valerie’s Kitchen for 2017. The list below represents the recipes that had the highest traffic this year. They also happen to be some of my favorite recipes of all time. Recipes that I’ve made countless times in my own kitchen.

A bunch of different types of food with text overlay.

The biggest change for us this year? Video! It has become by far the most effective way for us to get these recipes in front of you all on social media, which I’m sure you’re aware of  even if you only pop on to Facebook occasionally. We’ve been having a lot of fun bringing these short instructional videos to you and will continue to do so in 2018. Follow along with me on Facebook  and my new YouTube channel to keep up with the latest.

With the help of my smart and talented (totally unbiased opinion) video editor son, Jake, we produce one new video per week and not surprisingly, the recipes with videos did very well this year. In fact, all of my Top 10 recipes have videos that go along with them and I’m including them below along with a link to each recipe post. 

So without further ado… here is my Top 10!

#10 – BAKED EGGPLANT PARMESAN

#9 – CHICKEN MARSALA

#8 – ONE BOWL CHOCOLATE CAKE

#7 – SHREDDED MEXICAN BEEF

#6 – EASY HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI SAUCE

#5 – NEXT BEST THING TO ROBERT REDFORD DESSERT

#4 – CROCK-POT CHICKEN TACOS

#3- EASY BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE DESSERT

#2 – SLOW COOKER BEEF TIPS WITH GRAVY

#1 – ITALIAN STUFFED ZUCCHINI BOATS

I want to express my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to all of you who have played a big part in our growth this year. I appreciate each and every one of your comments, emails, and your engagement on social media.

There are some fun new things coming to Valerie’s Kitchen in 2018 that I’ll be sharing with you soon.
