Our Absolute Best Recipes of 2019:
We’re counting down to the most popular recipe on our blog for 2019.
#15 Zuppa Toscana (4.94 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from 59 votes)
This is a restaurant copycat recipe that tastes even better homemade. This is also on our family’s regular rotation. Zuppa Toscana is so satisfying.
#14 Chicken Tetrazzini (4.93 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from 98 votes)
A comforting and supremely cheese chicken pasta bake. We love one-pot meals like this one. This is a reader and family favorite.
#13 Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry (4.96 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from 41 votes)
Oh yum! This beef and broccoli recipe is even better than takeout. It has the very best sauce and you all agree. Read the glowing reviews. This is one of the most made recipes (per your #natashaskitchen) that I am seeing right now on Instagram and Facebook.
#12 Baklava (4.91 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from 304 votes)
This Baklava is better than any storebought version and it’s the syrup that makes it. Watch the video and you’ll be a pro in no time!
#11 Strawberry Pretzel Salad (4.75 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from 143 votes)
Every time any holiday rolls around, this Strawberry Pretzel salad is front and center. It’s make-ahead and is dangerously delicious.
#10 Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad (4.89 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from 286 votes)
This avocado salad is our most requested party salad. It is so simple to make and you will want the dressing on all your salads!
#9 Baked Salmon with Garlic and Dijon (4.92 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from 297 votes)
This Baked Salmon recipe first became popular in 2012. It’s still kicking and one of the all-time most popular salmon recipes around.
#8 Creamy Shrimp Pasta (4.93 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from 110 votes)
This is a famous copycat recipe and I love it even better than the restaurant version. This shrimp alfredo pasta is creamy, rich and delicious with plump juicy shrimp.
#7 Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken (4.86 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from 122 votes)
This is the easiest slow cooker chicken recipe and results in fall-apart tender shredded chicken. It’s so good in buns as sandwiches with coleslaw.
#6 Roasted Pork Tenderloin (4.92 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from 340 votes)
The easiest way to get super juicy and tender pork tenderloin. See why everyone raves about this method.
#5 Avocado Chicken Salad (4.9 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from 298 votes)
The world fell in love with this Avocado Chicken Salad recipe after it went viral on Facebook. This video on Facebook alone has 180,000,000 views. It’s also my son’s favorite salad.
#4 Moms Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo (4.88 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from 58 votes)
I grew up eating this creamy but light Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo pasta and I love that it has become a favorite for so many of you as well. It has a light sauce that uses half and half but it’s just as satisfying.
#3 Philly Cheesesteak (4.96 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from 22 votes)
This classic Philly Cheesesteak is a new favorite for the year. It shot up to the #1 Philly Cheesesteak recipe right out fo the gate. It’s THAT GOOD. This is the real deal and the classic way to make a Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich.
#2 Meatloaf (4.93 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from 138 votes)
This meatloaf has the best tangy glaze and it has become the internet’s favorite meatloaf. Just looking at it makes my mouth water. Have you tried it yet?
#1 Fish Tacos (4.96⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from 197 votes)
We make these ALL THE TIME! They have the best fish taco sauce and are perfect for parties because everyone builds their own tacos. I love that your favorite recipe is also ours. If you haven’t tried these fish tacos, get on it!

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
Do you have any cookbooks out? Don’t want to miss anything.
Hi Deanna, not at the moment but I am already working on it.
New to your site but will be back. Made the fish tacos with lime crema sauce which were delicious! 5 stars
Thank you for sharing and for the 5 stars, Cathy! I hope you love every recipe that you will try.
Your recipes and videos make me want to cook and believe me I don’t cook! Tried one of your apple pie recipes and loved it. Then I tried the filet Mignon in mushroom sauce…not so good. I had trouble getting the sauce to thicken and could not figure out why. Maybe I did not cook off the alcohol enough? Any ideas?
Hi Elaine, hmm – that is one of our more popular recipes, it sounds like maybe something did go wrong. I would follow each step and yes, make sure to cook down that wine.
I absolutely Love all your recipes Natasha. I look forward to making a lot of them in the future.. They always turn out great. I love the Apple pie with butter , especially. It’s one of my favorites. I’ve made a couple recipe binders and most of them are from you. Thank you so much..
Awww that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me! I’m all smiles
Hello Natacha.
I love so many of your recipes..do you have have recipe books we can purchase?
Hi Fran! I’m so glad you’re enjoying your recipes! We are working on a book! Stay tuned!
Hi Natasha
I am new to your site and since discovering it I have made your cheese cake with lactose free cream cheese..it was amazing the hit of my son-in-laws to be birthday. I’ve made you chicken Avocado salad. Lemon chicken, chicken fried rice, cream cheese puff pastry with the peaches and blueberries. All amazing. I’m have a few close friends for a distancing dinner this coming week and am excited to make your pork tenderloin, Crab cakes and salmon, the cream cheese puff pastry But can’t decide what other dishes. Perhaps the new potatoes, which salad. What Do you suggest?
Wow, you’ve already tried a lot of my recipes. That is awesome! You might want to check our reader favorites on the right side of my homepage for some recommendations.
Hello Natasha,
I’m Cathleen, as it’s my first time visiting your site from my search for an interesting meatloaf recipe, that I will be preparing your recipe this evening. I also glanced at the top recipes of the year and am ecstatic to land on your baklava recipe. I’ve said many times that I need to find a recipe for that and now I have yours!
I chose to comment so I could be sure to let you know how personable the content is from you that I haven’t seen anywhere till now
You are fabulous and I hope for you & your families continued happiness and great health.
Sincerely,
Cathleen
Long Beach CA.
I’m on my way to subscribe to your site!
Hi Cathleen! I’m so glad you discovered our site! Welcome! Thank you for sharing that thoughtful comment with us! I’m smiling big & inspired!
Love your recipes! I wondered if you could feature “lite” calorie conscious recipes from time to time for those of us who can’t indulge in cream, butter, sugar, and fats. Hard to find tasty things. Thanks!
Thank you for that suggestion! We have an awesome salad category and we just released one of our favorite salads this past week. I hope you give it a try soon.
Oh My Gosh Natasha,
I haven’t seen such a delicious picture of Baklava since my mother died, as a matter of fact I haven’t eaten any since then. I’m 71 now and just purchased an Instant Pot and have been looking for recipes I can make and came upon your blog. I know it is labor intensive but I have got to try it. Any hints? Have also seen some more delicious recipes I have to try.
Hi Dominic! I’m so glad you found our recipe! I recommend reading through the entire recipe first and getting all of the ingredients ready ahead of time.
I don’t know how your Corn Chowder didn’t make it to the top of your list, at 192 5 star reviews, except to say the competition is pretty tough! However for all the readers, if you haven’t made this recipe, I vote for this recipe as #16! It’s phenomenal! Best corn chowder, bar none!
THAT one is good! We love the corn chowder!
We have also tried so many of these top 15 and are never disappointed in your recipes! In 2020, I would love to see your creativity used to create some awesome Gluten free desserts. Half my family has celiac and I struggle finding decent cake and cookie recipes that are good with gluten free flour substitutes and I prefer to bake from scratch. I’m a pro at muffins though!
Thank you for that thoughtful and wonderful review, Shawn! I will add more gluten-free options to my list. I’m so glad you’re enjoying our recipes!
Would like the list of your favorite kitchen utensils.
Thanks
Hi Elaine, here are all of our favorites in our shop. These are the products we use and love.
You made Creamy Mashed Potatoes Number 1. My favourite comfort food. Thank you.
You’re welcome! I’m so glad enjoyed that.
Love your blog! Would love to see more low carb recipes without using too much cream or butter
Thank you for stopping by and sharing that with me, Kate!
Looking for easy coffee cake recipe.
Hi Mary, we have a great apple coffee cake and several others that would serve well as a coffee cake. If you are looking for a coffee-infused cake, you would love our Tiramisu.
Thank you so much for what you do! Your recipes are always a hit with my family. Our favorite from the list are Zuppa Toscano and Salmon. Now I must make the Fish Tacos 🙂
In 2020 I would like to see more lower carb recipes.
Hi Anna! I’m so happy you love those recipes. Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I think you’ll love the fish tacos. Those are my personal favorite.
Love your recipes! I wondered if you could feature “lite” calorie conscious recipes
from time to time for those of us who can’t indulge in cream, butter, sugar, and fats. Hard to find tasty things. Thanks!
Hi Barb, thank you for the suggestion. Noted!
Natasha look into you pocket and you will find the answer you are looking for. You said you want a publisher or Agent
It’s in your pocket
Hi Joan, I literally have a mitten in my pocket. Ha ha! I’m at a loss for what you mean.
Natasha, I absolutely love everything you put out on social media and want you to know what a superb job you are doing. Wishing you and yours a happy, healthy and meaningful 2020! The year of *perfect vision*! Cannot wait to see what your future creations will be!
I’m so glad you enjoy all of our channels. Thank you so much for that amazing and thoughtful feedback!
My favorite isn’t on here Lemon Chicken Pasta is the BOMB
Hi Allison! We LOVE that recipe too!
Would love to find out how to make my own Pineapple Mango salad dressing. I only have it when I go to a restaurant and would love to make it myself for guests.
Thank you for that suggestion, Judy!
Thanks for a great roundup of your best. Also, thanks for doing what you do. We all have been given a gift. God bless.
Thank you so much for that encouraging comment. I’m so glad you enjoy the lists! I hope it makes it easy to find new favorites.
There are so many great recipes on this list! My favorite from what I’ve tried so far are the cheesesteaks, so good!
I’m so glad you enjoyed those? Did you like the mini cheesecakes or the full-size ones? Both so good!
I can see why these are your top recipes. They all look amazing. I’ve tried a couple of them myself and can vouch for those.
My favorite was the Strawberry pretzel salad. So good!
That one is one of our favorites also!
