The Big Winners
Let’s start with the big ones: three incredible recipes that I couldn’t help but love this past year, although for all different reasons. Each of these is special in its own way and, of course, absolutely delicious. Choose your favorite, and let me know, or make it your resolution for 2023 to make them all.

It’s like hygge on a plate! Everything about these french toast sticks, from the super moist and chewy banana bread base soaked in rich custard to the sweet cinnamon-sugar coating and warming drizzle of rum caramel sauce, will have you feeling super snuggled up. Try it now!

Adorable, right? And these cute little nests are super easy to make. Try making this sweet and colorful recipe interactive by letting everyone pick their own empty nest and their favorite peep color. See the full recipe!

Sticky hands are the perfect accompaniment to a hot and sticky summer night with these twists on a campfire classic. But you can enjoy these s’mores all year with a broiler!
