Take a walk down memory lane with the top 17 new recipes of 2017 from WhitneyBond.com — from nourishing bowls and easy weeknight tacos to indulgent cinnamon rolls and sweet treats.
The end of the year is a perfect time to reflect on favorite meals and the recipes that resonated most with readers. Over the past year the blog introduced many new dishes — and this roundup highlights the top 17 new recipes of 2017 that stood out for flavor, ease, and creativity. These selections represent the trending flavors of the year: nourishing bowls, comfort pasta, bold buffalo-style dishes, and plenty of sweet treats.
I’ve been sharing a countdown of the year’s favorite new recipes on Instagram for a few years, and this year I’m expanding that tradition into a full blog roundup. Looking back helps me plan new recipes for the year ahead, and it’s always inspiring to see which dishes you make again and again.
Bowls were a major theme in 2017 — from Buddha bowls to zoodle bowls — and many readers embraced these simple, balanced meals. Other standout trends included comforting pasta dishes, buffalo-flavored favorites, quick weeknight tacos, and easy desserts perfect for sharing.
