Published: · Modified: by · This post may contain affiliate links · 10 Comments

As I look back on the year that was 2022 one thing was constant…there was an abundance of nourishing food that tasted great. Here are my top 10 new recipes from the blog this year….recipes that earned their spot on this list of favorites by becoming staples in our lives.

These are the vegan recipes that made it onto our plates and into our hearts most often over the course of 2022. The new recipes that I served to guests, that I brought to pot-lucks and made on the regular for my family….and for me.

Of course, there are other faves….the tried and true favorites from the blog over the years…like raw cauliflower salad (a weekly staple in my life), zucchini bread (keep a loaf in your freezer at all times), and Mexican pinto beans (truly a blessing to have a batch on hand).

I can’t wait to hear in the comments what YOUR favorite recipes this year have been….here are my top 10 new favorite recipes from 2022. The ones that I return to over and over again because they are easy to make, always delicious and everyone adores them. My goal, as always, is to inspire you to make healthy recipes that taste incredible….good food has no season and great taste never goes out of style.

Sesame Noodles with Veggies and Tahini
Sesame Noodles with Tahini Sauce and crunchy vegetables is a simple recipe that’s ready in just 20 minutes. It's an easy weeknight dinner recipe and the leftovers are fabulous for lunch or a vegan side dish!
