From desserts to one pan recipes, salads, and homemade dressings, here are the Top 10 Recipes from 2019 on Iowa Girl Eats as chosen by YOU!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I hope 2020 is treating you well so far and that your holidays were just the merriest!
We spent Christmas sitting around a fire in my parent’s backyard as it reached 61 degrees on the 25th. Insanity! The park and trail behind their house were filled with pick up soccer games, kids riding new bikes from Santa, and lots of dogs and walkers. A few people were even out mowing their lawns – ha! The Midwest likes to keep us on our toes. ;) We spent the rest of the week hosting Ben’s family, seeing old friends, and in general taking a vacation from our vacation. I’m still not quite sure what day of the week it is.
What I DO know is that I’m so excited for 2020 and all that’s to come. I feel like we’re out of the baby fog of 2018-19 and speaking of baby, one of the highlights of this past year has been watching Gwen, especially, grow and change. Of course it’s an absolute pleasure to see our boys evolve as little men, and lately grow to really enjoy playing together (#finally!), but it’s always an incredible thing to watch your “baby” start talking, running, and insisting on wearing her blanket like the queen of England’s cape. ;)
I sure have a lot to be grateful for!
Anyway! Before we dive into January and some fresh and healthy recipes (if I never see a red meat roast of some kind again it will be too soon,) I wanted to recap the best of the best recipes from 2019 as decided by your clicks, views, and shares. Spoiler alert: you loved all things one pan, comforting, and dippy! I’m also including a few of my personal favorite recipes that didn’t quite crack the Top 10 list.
Thank you as ALWAYS for your loyal readership. I have the best readers in the entire world and your support, kind words, encouragement, and sharing of my content are what keep this little corner of the Internet afloat day after day, year after year. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I really, really love my job. Wishing you the absolute best in 2020, but first…!

Happy New Year! I’ve never disliked a recipe from you! Next up are green smoothie muffins because my 14 month old LOVES throwing her veggies on the floor.
That shephard’s pie has been one of my favorite recipes to make recently! Going to give the Italian Rice Ball Skillet meal a try next. Your recipes never disappoint! Thanks for creating and sharing as always! :)
I love your recipes and your blog. Many blessings for the new year. Every time someone asks me about my gluten free journey I refer them here to read your book and your blog. It’s where I started, even though I followed you before your journey began. Keep inspiring others. ❤️
So many incredible recipes this year! I’ve been a reader for many years and each of your recipes I’ve tried have always turned out great! I’m definitely looking forward to trying out more in the coming year.
Thank you for your support and readership, Melissa! It’s always great to hear from you on a post! :)
Happy New Year Kristin! We love your recipes and more often than not they find their way into our holiday celebrations. Your party potatoes deluxe are on the menu today for New Years Dinner. Love your blog and your stories, looking forward to 2020!
I am thrilled to heat that, Melony!! Enjoy those potatoes – they made many appearances on our holiday dinner tables too!
Thanks for all your hard work, Kristin, so many of your recipes are my go-tos, I’m making cheesy chicken and rice soup for the Michigan game this afternoon. It’s fun to watch your family grow on the blog, too. Thanks!
Sounds perfect, Anita!! Thank you for such a kind message!
I need to try that everything bagel dip!

I’m a sucker for a good sour cream dip – it really is incredible!
Your family is adorable. The fall shredded Brussels sprouts salad has been on my New Year’s Day menu every year since you first posted it. We’ve also shared the recipe (with a link to your site) with many family and coworkers. Happy New Year!
Thank you so much, Sharon!! I appreciate it more than you know!!
I’m always so so sooooo thankful for THE EASE & PEACE OF ALL OF YOUR RECIPES! I’ve been a reader since almost day 1 and I’m so thankful you’re here and to watch your blog, and esp your family!, evolve and grow❤️
❤️ from NJ❤️
So thrilled to have you along for the ride after all these years, Donna! I so appreciate your readership all the way from NJ! Happy new year!
You missed MY favorite recipe of yours. The marinaded olives are a huge hit in our family! I personally, can’t get enough of them. I’m making my 3rd batch since Thanksgiving. This one is for me! Thank you for this recipe, you nailed it!
Ahhh, I am thrilled to hear that Mona! Now I’m craving olives ?
I made the sausage gravy and tater tot casserole for Thanksgiving morning, and it was a hit. One daughter is gluten sensitive and her two sons dairy free – it’s become a staple at her house.
So happy to hear that Greg! The gluten + dairy free combo can be a real tough one. I’m glad she’s found a recipe that works for the entire family! :)
My favorite recipe of yours is the Sweet Corn, Potato and Kielbasa soup!
Huge favorite of mine too, Beth! I need to make that one again ASAP!
