Closet Cooking celebrates 18 years of sharing tasty food and recipes!
I can’t believe that it’s been another year! It was a tasty year filled with plenty of new and fun recipes! As I look back over the recipes shared in the last year I see a wonderful variety of: mains, sides, appetizers, desserts, breakfasts, soups, sandwiches, pastas, breads, etc. from many different cuisines! I’m eagerly looking forward to what new adventures lie in wait for the upcoming year!
One of the main challenges this last year was the rising cost of food. I tried to keep the ingredients to more pantry staples and items that come on sale frequently and there was certainly no loss in flavour, variety, or fun!
Here are some of my favourite recipes from the last year:
Italian Lemon Ricotta Cake
Chili Cheese Sloppy Joes
Tzatziki Potato Salad
Garlic Parmesan Grilled Chicken
Caesaroni (Caesar Pepperoni Pizza Sandwich)
Pumpkin and Turkey Wild Rice Soup
Greek Style Beef and Eggplant Rice (aka Moussaka Rice)
Fruitcake (Christmas Cake)
Hot Honey Harissa Chicken Bowl
Lasagna Soup
Sweet Potato and Chorizo Chowder
Cheesy Ground Chicken Fajita Pasta
Happy Birthday! Thank you for the continued inspiration! Can’t wait to see your new creations.
