Top Ten Recipes of Last Year:

#1

Easy Apple Crisp with No Oats – this recipe has been in the number one slot for three years running. Lots of people are looking for a great apple crisp recipe with a streusel that doesn’t call for oats and this recipe is perfect! Make it in one dish for easy clean-up.

#2

Salmon Patties – moving up from #7! Traditional salmon patties are made with canned salmon, a little onion, bread or cracker crumbs, and an egg. Fry for a few minutes in a skillet and enjoy! No fancy stuff needed!

#3

Baked Pork Chops with Cream of Mushroom Soup – long in the number one slot, this easy pork chop recipe got beat out by the apple crisp three years ago. But folks still love these pork chops! They’re delicious and did I mention EASY?
