Top Ten Most Viewed Recipes at Stirring the Pot!

In January of 2025, my blog turned 16 years old! Over the years I've written 1,214 posts and made at least 1220 or so recipes. Recently, I've been looking at my stats to see what recipes have been viewed the most and thought it would be fun to do a roundup of the TOP TEN MOST VIEWED RECIPES ON MY SITE. 

Once I compiled the list I studied the results and came up with some observations. One, all these recipes use normal, everyday ingredients. Two, there were also somewhat budget-friendly. Three, they all make the most of simple ingredients. Each one of these recipes can be made by anyone. Some may take a little time, but all are very approachable.

So here we are...16 years, 1214 posts, and 1225 recipes later. THE TOP TEN MOST VIEWED RECIPES of all time here at Stirring the Pot. Please click on the recipe title to be directed back to the original post.

Ina Garten's Roasted Sausages, Peppers, & Onions

The NUMBER ONE MOST VIEWED recipe of all time, here at Stirring the Pot is Ina Garten's Roasted Sausages, Peppers, & Onions. Funny enough, sausage with peppers and onions has always been one of my favorite dishes to eat. It seems like it's also a big favorite with others. Ina's version is the best around and perfect for weeknights as everything roasts right on two sheet pans in the oven. Easy to put together and easy clean up makes this dish a winner. Full of flavor and oh so delicious. 

Yotam Ottolenghi's Falafel with Spiced Chickpeas and Fresh Vegetable Salad

This recipe for Ottolenghi's Falafel comes in at the NUMBER TWO MOST VIEWED recipe here on Stirring the Pot and although it is time consuming to make, it is quite delicious! Ottolenghi has a knack for creating dishes with the most wonderful flavors and textures. This dish is no exception: crispy falafel with fluffy pita break and crunchy fresh vegetables...it's hard to go wrong here.

 
I remember making this dish one day back in 2016. I didn't have much to eat, but I just happened to have the ingredients for Jamie Oliver's Nasi Goreng and I threw this together on a whim. Who knew it would be the THIRD MOST VIEWED recipe on my blog? This is a delicious combination of basmati rice with onions, garlic, ginger, chiles, snap peas, hot sauce, and soy sauce all topped with a crispy bubbly frie degg, drizzled with more hot sauce and garnished with quick pickles. If that doesn't wake you up first thing in the morning then I don't know what will! 


 
Way back in 2010, I had the opportunity to meet Giada De Laurentiis, watch her do a live cooking demo, and have her sign my copy of Giada's Family Dinners. I shared my experience, as well as the photos, and since Giada loves chocolate, I made her Chocolate Rice Pudding. The Chocolate Rice Pudding is a good dessert, but I think the views are there to see the pictures and stories Giada shared. This was certainly a big highlight in my life with food. Such fun!
 
 
At first I was surprised to see Jamie Oliver make the top ten list twice, but the more I looked at the list of most viewed dishes, the more I noticed the recipes were all economical, ingredients that people were likely to have on hand. If you notice, many of these recipes are extremely affordable and downright budget-friendly. But we've arrived at the NUMBER FIVE MOST VIEWED recipe and we have Ground Beef Wellington! This recipe is so simple and delicious, ground beef with veggies and seasonings placed into two sheets of puff pastry, rolled, and baked. Its so easy that almost anyone can do it and the presentation is great! It elevates ground beef in a way that makes it feel so special and yet it's easy enough to do on a weeknight!  


 
When I was a kid, my friend's parents would make all us girls crepes for breakfast after every sleepover. It is such a core memory and I'm so happy that Pepin's crepes are the SIXTH MOST VIEWED recipe on my site! It just makes my heart happy. These crepes are delicious and you can fill them with sweet or savory fillings. This is definitely a recipe that everyone should try!


In the heart of the pandemic, Ina Garten released her cookbook, Modern Comfort Food, and it was certainly a bright spot during a difficult time. One of the first recipes I made from the book were her Kielbasa Bites with Mustard Dip and it was a big hit! I am so glad this recipe is the SEVENTH MOST VIEWED recipe on my site. It is so quick and delicious! Simply cut up some kielbasa, fry it until crisp and then dunk it in a mustard dip made with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, and horseradish. So many times people go out of the way to make really expensive appetizers and this one is so economical and people can't get enough of it!

Madhur Jaffrey's Butter Chicken

I think everyone loves a saucy chicken over rice dish, and it turns out Madhur Jaffrey's Butter Chicken is my EIGHTH MOST VIEWED recipe of all time. Chunks of chicken breast in a creamy sauce made with tomato puree, garlic, ginger, garam masala, chili, cayenne, coriander, lemon juice, and cumin make for one comforting and quite beautiful meal.  

 
Fitting my theory, Ina Garten's Old-Fashioned Apple Crisp uses ingredients that most people have on hand. Ingredients that don't break the bank: apples, citrus zest, sugar, cinnamon, flour, oatmeal, and butter. Put those simple ingredients together and you have the old-fashioned quintessential American dessert, or the NINTH MOST VIEWED recipe on my site, apple crisp. This one is delicious with loads of buttery crispy topping. Perfect on it's own, but also great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or even yogurt.  



The TENTH MOST VIEWED recipe on my site belongs to Ina Garten with her Engagement Roast Chicken and truly, this is THE BEST ROAST CHICKEN! The skin turns out perfectly golden brown, the chicken is moist and it is sitting on the most flavorful and delicious bed of roasted and buttery onions that become all caramelized. If you wanna make a killer roast chicken, try this recipe!

Top Twelve Recipes of 2024!

 2024 was a shorter year in the kitchen for me. Due to some medical issues I didn't really start cooking until sometime in mid February, but once I got cooking I got lucky with some great dishes! Normally I only do about 10 top dishes for the year, but this year I have 12!

The dishes below aren't ranked from 1-12, but they are in calendar order of how I cooked them throughout the year, February thru December. If you click on the title of the recipe you'll be directed back to the original post with the recipe!

First up is How Sweet Eats Chicken and Bacon Ranch Puff Pastry Pizza. I truly love the puff pastry pizzas from How Sweet Eats. This version uses leftover chicken, or rotisserie chicken, with cheese, bacon, dill, scallions, and a drizzle of ranch dressing. If you love these flavors then this will be a big hit for you too! Easy enough for a weeknight, but delicious enough for a party or entertaining, you simply can't go wrong!

Next up is the dish I made more than anything else this year, How Sweet Eats Our Favorite Baked Cheesy Rice. I made this dish out of necessity because I was on a mild diet and we ended up loving the baked rice dish with bits of crispy sharp white cheddar on top and creamy white cheddar underneath. It became a staple dish everyone craved and went well with so many things. I bet I made it at least 25 times throughout the year!

Why make one puff pastry pizza when you can make two? How Sweet Eats Puff Pastry Breakfast Pizza was also a grand slam in the breakfast department. Again, it's hard to go wrong with flaky puff pastry with eggs, bacon, cheese, and herbs! If you want something easy that is rather impressive first thing in the morning go with this recipe! It is dressed to impress and tastes delicious! Would be great for a Sunday breakfast, a girls brunch, or any situation where you need to entertain.

How Sweet Eats Oreo Peanut Butter Pie is hands down THE BEST PEANUT BUTTER PIE we've ever had. I'm not the biggest Oreo fan, but Oreos do make for a great crust for the luscious peanut butter mousse that goes inside. The first day the peanut butter mousse is light and creamy, but after several hours in the fridge, or overnight, the peanut butter mousse gets thick and dense like cheesecake. When you top this pie with Oreos and peanut butter cups and whipped cream it is the most decadent and delicious of all desserts!

This favorites roundup is quickly becoming a How Sweet Eatspalooza, but her site offered many recipes I wanted to try and they all became instant hits! This One Pot Garlic Butter Shrimp and Orzo from How Sweet Eats was quick and delicious and we've had it a couple times since. I've noticed that people love quick shrimp dishes, as they tend to garner some of the most views on my site, so I wanted to include this one because it is a great weeknight dish!

This roundup makes it look like my family eats A LOT of puff pastry, but I can assure you we do not. It is always a hit though, and for a special treat these Cheeseburger Puff Pastry Pockets from How Sweet Eats are sure to be a favorite in your house too! What's not to like about savory beef and cheese pockets in a crispy-crunchety crust?

This Lemon Butter Chicken from How Sweet Eats is lemon forward, and you do have to like lemon, but the garlic and herbs also come front and center and the chicken bakes up so tender and flavorful. This is a healthy, quick, and delicious weeknight dinner that any lemon lover would adore.

I make a lot of regular ol' rice krispy treats, but I really love peanut butter so I wanted to try my hand at How Sweet Eats Salted Peanut Butter Rice Krispy Treats and it should be illegal how good these are. The balance of flavors is perfect and the peanut butter with the gooey marshamallow gives a this a fluffernutter feel. These are addictive and hard to stop eating! 

This summer I made 10 wonderful ice cream recipes from The Gourmet Cookbook, but it was this recipe for Maple Walnut Ice Cream that stood out from the rest. I loved this recipe so much. The consistency of the ice cream and the subtle flavor of the maple syrup with the crunchy walnuts...it was heaven!
 

Who doesn't love a good meatball recipe? These Pesto Zuppa Toscana Meatballs from Half Baked Harvest are made with turkey and a pesto red sauce base with cheese on top and they were so good, and even better the next day. I enjoyed mine with some soft, fluffy naan bread, but they are also delicious on their own, and I bet just as good over pasta.

 

I knew Erin French's Glazed Butter Cake was going to be delicious, but it was mind-blowing delicious. Like probably ONE OF THE BEST DESSERTS I'VE EVER MADE! This isn't even my favorite type of dessert, but this is INCREDIBLE warm with whipped cream and berries. If you make any of the recipes on this post, make this one. It's just unbelievably delicious.

My last recipe of the year, Ina Garten's Buttermilk Cheddar Biscuits, was the perfect way to end a great year in the kitchen. The biscuits were soft and fluffy with yummy pockets of cheese and we gobbled them up for breakfast in no time.

I'm excited to see what 2025 brings and hope that next year is just as delicious!

Ina Garten's Buttermilk Cheddar Biscuits {Last Recipe of 2024}!

Teens and older kids love to be up all hours of the night on Christmas Eve, which means Santa can't come until early morning hours. By that time, Santa has been riding around on his sleigh all night eating cookies and he's ready for something savory and breakfasty!

I think Santa would wholeheartedly appreciate Ina Garten's Buttermilk Cheese Biscuits all on their own, or with some eggs and bacon! Who wouldn't?

These biscuits come together really easy and bake up in no time! Perfectly golden brown from an egg wash with pockets of sharp cheddar cheese....these are the way to wake up!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all who celebrate!

Buttermilk Cheddar Biscuits

Adapted from Food Network

by Ina Garten

Makes 8 biscuits

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed

1 tablespoon baking powder

1-1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

12 tablespoons (1-1/2 sticks cold unsalted butter), diced

1/2 cup cold buttermilk, shaken

1 cold egg

1 cup grated extra sharp Cheddar

1 egg, beaten with tablespoon water or milk

Maldon sea salt, optional

Preheat the oven to 425F. Place 2 cups of flour, the baking powder, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With the mixer on low, add the butter and mix until the butter is the size of peas.

Combine the buttermilk and egg in a small measuring cup and beat lightly with a fork. With the mixer still on low, quickly add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and mix only until moistened. In a small bowl, mix the Cheddar with small handful of flour and, with the mixer still on low, add the cheese to the dough. Mix only until roughly combined.

Dump out onto a well-floured board and knead lightly about 6 times. Roll the dough out to a rectangle 10 by 5 inches. With a sharp, floured knife, cut the dough lengthwise in half and then across in quarters, making  8 rough rectangles. Transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the egg wash, sprinkle with salt, if using, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are browned and the biscuits are cooked through. Serve hot or warm.

Ina Garten's Cinnamon-Spiced Shortbread

Dear Ina,

Shortbread cookies are delicious and Cinnamon-Spiced Shortbread Cookies are PERFECT for Christmas, but I think you left one vital ingredient out of your recipe!

Hands! The secret to getting shortbread dough to come together is using the warmth of your hands to shape the dough together. 

No matter what I do I'm always left with a very crumbly mess that looks like it will never come together with any mixer. I stared at the dough of this recipe and thought I'd have to though the whole batch out and then I scrubbed my hands real well and started forming and mixing and holding and shaping and combining until I got the dough into a ball.

I'm not sure if this happens in your neck of the woods, but I feel like this belongs in every shortbread recipe. The secret ingredient is hands and hot hands at that. You are the machine that will form the dough together!

I say this because I don't want beginning bakers and cooks to get scared off and they might not know what to do otherwise.

Now saying that, once your form that dough together with your hands, rolling it out and baking it is the easy part.

I love the flecks of cinnamon throughout the dough and the scent is amazing while baking. I didn't have nutmeg or cloves for the sugar coating so I opted for cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. My pumpkin pie spice had nutmeg and cloves but also some other warm spices that worked just great. 

These are the perfect cookie to enjoy while trimming the tree, or wrapping presents, or doing online shopping, or with tea and/or hot chocolate. We loved them!

But hands Ina, please tell the people to use hands.

Sincerely,

Kim 

Cinnamon-Spiced Shortbread

Adapted from Go-To Dinners

by Ina Garten

Makes 16 to 20 cookies*

For The Cookies

3/4 pound (3 sticks) butter, at room temperature

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

salt

For The Sugar Coating

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Note: Amount of cookies the recipe makes depends on the size of your cookie cutter and how thin you roll the dough.

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the butter, the 1 cup sugar, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon warm water on low speed until they are just combined (don't whip it). In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, the 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon salt. With the mixer still on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing just until the dough comes together in large clumps. Transfer to a floured surface and shape into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic and chill for just 30 minutes.

Roll the dough 1/2 inch thick on a floured board and cut with a large (3-1/2") star cutter or any other shape you like! Place the cookies one inch apart on the prepared sheet pans and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until the edges just begin to brown. 

Meanwhile, for the sugar coating, combine the 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a medium bowl. As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, sprinkle them thickly with the sugar mixture and allow to cool on the sheet pans. When the cookies are cool, shake off the excess sugar mixture and serve warm or at room temperature.

Ina Garten's Roasted Vegetable Soup with Brioche Croutons

 

Dear Ina,

You published this recipe, and aired it on your cooking show, back in 2002. I have been wanting to make this soup recipe ever since then. Twenty-two years, Ina. It's not like I haven't been busy cooking away in my kitchen because I truly have. 

The problem is, there is just isn't enough time for all the recipes.

Something I wonder about all the time. How do cookbook authors and celebrities, such as yourself, have the time to try so many recipes? Do you cook and try new recipes all day every day? Morning to night? Do you ever sleep?

I'd really love to know the secret because I'm turning 50 next year and I need to figure out how to jam pack thousands of recipes in to the second half of my life. 

I happened to have all the ingredients for this soup on hand: carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and butternut squash. I set about roasting all the veggies, then followed your directions to blend them in a blender with some chicken stock. I returned the mixture to a dutch oven, adding chicken broth and bringing to a slow boil.

I plated some in a bowl with some leftover roasted veggies, the brioche croutons, and some parsley. I decided to top with a little Parmesan cheese. It looks very festive and seasonal and was really warming and comforting. We enjoyed it with some added spice, sprinkling and stirring in some cayenne pepper to really warm the soul. Happy to finally try it!

Hoping for answers to my above questions,

Kim 

Roasted Vegetable Soup with Brioche Croutons

Adapted from Food Network

by Ina Garten

Serves 4-6

3 to 4 cups chicken stock

1 quart Roasted Winter Vegetables

salt and black pepper

Brioche Croutons

olive oil

Roasted Winter Vegetables

1 pound carrots, peeled

1 pound parsnips, peeled

1 large sweet potato, peeled

1 small butternut squash (about 2 pounds), peeled and seeded

3 tablespoons olive oil

1-1/2 teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Brioche Croutons

6 ounces brioche or Challah

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

For the Roasted Veggies:  Preheat the oven to 425F. Cut the carrots, parsnips, sweet potato, and butternut squash in 1 to 1-1/4" cubes. All the vegetables will shrink while roasting, so don't cut them too small. Place all the cut vegetables in a single layer on 2 baking sheets. Drizzle them with olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss well. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender, turning once with a metal spatula. Sprinkle with parsley, season to taste, and serve hot. 

For the Brioche Croutons: Slice the bread about 3/4" thick. Cut off the crusts and then cut the slices in 3/4" dice. You should have 3 to 4 cups of croutons. Place the croutons on a sheet pan and toss them with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 5-6 minutes, checking periodically, until they're nicely browned on all sides. Cool to room temperature before using and store in a sealed plastic bag.

For the Soup: In a large saucepan, heat 3 cups of chicken stock. Coarsely puree the Roasted Winter Vegetables and the chicken stock in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Pour the soup back into the pot and season, to taste. Thin with more chicken stock and reheat. The soup should be thick but not like a vegetable puree, so add more chicken stock and/or water until it's the consistency you like. Serve with Brioche Croutons, a sprinkle of parsley, and a good drizzle of olive oil.

Ina Garten's Easy Sticky Buns {An Easy and Fun Autumn Treat}!

Ina Garten's Easy Sticky Buns are the epitome of easy. There is no need to make any dough because you simply use puff pastry. Puff pastry is so easy to work with and the recipe comes together in no time.

First you make a mixture of butter and brown sugar and smear it into the bottom of a muffin tin. The butter and brown sugar mixture is topped with chopped nuts - feel free to use any nut you have. The recipe called for pecans, but I had walnuts so I used those!

Then you roll out the puff pastry dough, brush it with melted butter and top that with brown sugar and cinnamon. At this point you can add raisins or really anything else you'd like. I chose to forego the raisins.

Then you roll the dough up lengthwise and cut each roll into sixths. Place each sixth on top of the butter and brown sugar mixture with the nuts and bake!

I would advise to watch these closely. The butter and brown sugar mixture will rise up around the puff pastry and you don't want it to over cook or it will become to hard and sticky and start to take on a burnt sugar flavor. Ina says to bake these for 25-30 minutes, but I found that just under 20 minutes was the right amount of time for my oven!

These rolls are in fact sticky and delicious. Fair warning though, they are not a soft cinnamon roll sort of pastry. Instead they are buttery, flaky, crispy, sticky and almost verging on too sweet. Which reminds me to point out that you could do with using less brown sugar, especially if you don't like desserts that are cloyingly sweet. Otherwise, they are delicious and fun to make!


Easy Sticky Buns

Recipe adapted from Barefoot Contessa

by Ina Garten

Serves 12

12 tablespoons (1-1/2 sticks) butter, at room temp

1/3 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed

1/2 cup pecans, chopped in large pieces*

1 package (2 sheets) frozen puff pastry, defrosted)

For the Filling:

2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled

2/3 cups light brown sugar, light packed

3 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 cup raisins* 

*Note: You can make this recipe with nuts and without nuts. With raisins and without raisins. You can use pecans or walnuts, or use any nut. The point is, feel free to tuck any nut or dried fruit in this mixture. You could even sub chocolate chips or caramel chips. Make it your own!

Preheat the oven to 400F. Place a 12 cup standard muffin tin on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 12 tablespoons of butter and 1/3 cup brown sugar. Place 1 tablespoon of the mixture in bottom of each of the 12 muffin cups. Distribute the pecans evenly between the 12 muffin cups on top of the butter and sugar mixture.

Lightly flour a wooden board or stone surface. Unfold one sheet of puff pastry with the folds going left to right. Brush the whole sheet with half the melted butter, leaving a 1 inch border on the puff pastry, sprinkle each sheet with 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon and 1/2 cup of raisins (if using). Starting with the end nearest to you, roll the pastry up snugly like a jelly roll around the filling, finishing the roll with the seam-side down. Trim the ends of the roll about 1/2 inch and discard. Slice the roll in 6 equal pieces. Place each piece, spiral side up, in 6 of the muffin cups. Repeat with the second piece of puff pastry.I

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the buns/rolls are golden brown on top and firm to the touch. Be careful- they're hot! Allow to cool for 5 minutes only, invert the buns onto the parchment paper (ease the filling and nuts out onto the buns with a small spoon) and cool completely! Enjoy!

Ina Garten's Zucchini Flower and Leek Frittata {A Thing of Beauty}

I am my Lost Kitchen Era, where I am obsessed with Erin French's The Lost Kitchen show, restaurant, food, plating, and all the edible flowers she uses to garnish her dishes! I love how Erin goes to the local farms and is inspired by what is in season to make beautiful dishes. 

I wanted to create a Lost Kitchen dish in my own kitchen, so I went to the Lexington, Kentucky Farmers Market and I found zucchini flowers! I was so excited because I had never cooked with zucchini flowers before.

So I turned to the one and only queen, Ina Garten and I found her recipe for Zucchini and Leek Fritatta. This was a major win as it allows me to really channel the whole edible flowers vibe of The Lost Kitchen.

I searched the market for the rest of the ingredients needed: pancetta, leeks, baby zucchini, fresh thyme, eggs, half and half, Gruyere, and fresh basil. This added up to be a pricier dish than most recipes I cook, but that's ok, because as I shared above, I'm in my Lost Kitchen Era and I have a major need to cook with edible flowers.

This was more laborious than most dishes, with a lot of prep, as I had to clean the zucchini flowers, removing the stamen, and dry them. I had to cut and wash the leeks, which was a rather sandy and dirty task.I had to cut and wash the basil, the thyme, the zucchini. Cut and cook the bacon. Shred the cheese. Crack and beat 8 eggs. Cook the frittata filling. It was more involved than your regular everyday frittata, but no worries, this was THE FRITTATA to end all fritattas! It was going to be adorned with the most beautiful zucchini flowers. Doesn't it look gorgeous going into the oven?

Doesn't it look gorgeous coming out of the oven? I mean wow...It's stunning! Ina says to allow the frittata to cool for five minutes and then cut into it. I am dying to see how it all tastes.

The frittata slices perfectly and each person gets their own zucchini flower with their portion, how brilliant! The frittata is brimming with zucchini, zucchini flowers, bacon, leeks, and my favorite...Gruyere cheese. I love all these ingredients so much!

I go to take a long awaited bite and the zucchini flower is soft and baked into the frittata. It is an odd texture, soft and hard to cut into, the whole flower wants to stay together. Something about the flavor and texture is not appealing. I push the flower off and take a bite of the egg and filling, the flavors are too strong and overpowering. I take another bite and something here is just not working. I keep taking bites because I love all the ingredients, it appears to have baked up perfectly, and Ina Garten has never let me down, but the dish just didn't work for me. I am, however, very happy to have made the dish and finally get a chance to work with zucchini flowers. I like to try new things even if they don't work out. I do have another zucchini flower recipes up my sleeve, so stay tuned for that. The verdict is still out!
