I can’t believe we are at the end of another year.I was also very surprised to see which of the recipes I shared this year were the most visited. I think you will be surprised too! If you missed any of these recipes the first time around, make sure you pin them so you won’t miss them again. Here are The Mom Maven’s Top 5 recipes of 2017.

Apple Pie Crepes from Secrets of Skinny Cooking came in as number 5. This quick and healthy recipe was part of a cookbook review.

Number 4 is a family favorite that I have made several times since this post went live, it’s my Hawaiian Burger with Teriyaki Mayonnaise. Oh my goodness these are so good. Our friend Rb was over working on Jordan’s truck with him and I invited him to stay for dinner. He really liked these burgers too. The mayo is delicious, I could eat it all by itself, but I won’t, I do have some restraint. LOL!

Recipe number 3 is perfect for your upcoming college football viewing and New Year’s Eve parties, it’s my Buffalo Chicken Ring. I’ll be whipping one of these up for the college football championship coming up in January.

Recipe number two is a Christmas cookie recipe! It’s my Holiday Gumdrop Cookies, this recipe can be used year round by varying the type of gumndrop you use.

5 Top Recipe Posts of 2016

5. Oreo Cookie Ice Cream Cake

I made this Oreo Cookie Ice Cream Cake for Aaron’s birthday in March. Then for Ron’s birthday in April I changed it up with his vaorite Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. It was delicious both ways.

4. 3 Envelope Crockpot Roast

The 3 Envelope Crockpot Roast is my favorite new dinner entree of 2016. I love this simple, delicious recipe. For years I was afraid of making roasts and now with easy recipes like this one I have learned how easy they are.

3. Crockpot Carolina Barbecue Ribs

I made these Crockpot Carolina Barbecue Ribs last spring when Publix had ribs on an awesome sale. If you like Carolina barbecue, ribs don’t get any easier than this recipe. Cook in the crockpot and finish on the grill.

2. Crockpot Garlic Alfredo Chicken

I you love garlic, this Crockpot Garlic Alfredo Chicken recipe is for you. I will warn you, it has a very strong garlic flavor, Jordan loves it. This recipe is easy to make, the chicken and sauce cook in the crockpot and then you cook the pasta on the stove top as usual. It is a garlic twist to your usual Chicken Alfredo dinner.

1. Walt’s Balls (Grape Jelly Meatballs)

I am so excited that Walt’s Balls is the number one recipe on The Mom Maven for 2016. This recipe has a very special family story to it. I hope you will click through and read the story and make this recipe for your next party. Just the other day I got a tagged in a Facebook post from my cousin in New Hampshire. He said he made Walt’s Balls for their family Christmas party and they were a hit and a nice way to pay honor to my dad.

I hope you have enjoyed and pinned/yummed/stumbled/facebooked/tweeted all of these delicious recipes and the others that I shared in 2016. I’ll see you in 2017 with more great recipes.
