Top Ten Recipes of 2025

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy.

The top ten recipes of 2025 are the ones y’all cooked more than anything else on Southern Food and Fun. Old-fashioned buttermilk biscuits and salmon patties took the first two spots, with Grandma’s corn pudding right behind them. The rest of the list is four weeknight suppers, another Southern side, and three desserts.

Most of these use pantry staples and nothing you have to hunt for at the store. If you’ve never made biscuits from scratch, start there. The rest is weeknight cooking, and the two sides will stretch to feed a crowd.
