top 10 best reader favorite recipes for 2021 title collage

I am so excited to share this year’s reader favorite recipes with you! We made a whole lot of tasty dishes together this year, and these 10 recipes represent the BEST OF THE BEST. All decided by you. These are the recipes you visited most, cooked the most and shared the most. And wow, they are seriously some good ones!

The classics won the year, for sure. An ambrosia-style fruit medley, banana pudding, pecan pralines, chicken and dumplings… We went a little old school, and it was just what we all needed to put a little home on our tables and comfort in our souls.

And while the food was special, none of it measures up to all of you! We have so much to be thankful for at The Southern Discourse Cottage. And I am more tickled than ever for the new year, new recipes, new ideas and a brand new series that I can’t wait to introduce in the next few weeks! Happy 2022!
