Your Top 10 Favorite Recipes of 2017

This is one of my favorite posts to write each year – your top 10 favorite recipes of 2017!

Your Top 10 Favorite Recipes of 2017 + The Year In Review | C it Nutritionally

I sit down, do some digging into my analytics, and find out what you guys reallllly like to see around here. More often than not, I’m surprised… which is probably why it’s my favorite post to write!

Each year when I sit down to write this post, I intend to review my analytics once per quarter the following year. For some reason, it slips my mind and other things just take over. Hopefully, 2018 will be different!

But for now, let’s look at what 2017 looked like for CitNutritionally…

In 2017, I shared…

  • 61 NEW food allergy friendly recipes
  • My Food Allergy Snacking Survival Guide FREE for you to download!
  • Tons of recipes with 5 ingredients or less
  • 6 recipe round ups (that’s it??? Look out for more in 2018!!)
  • Lots of tips and tricks in my 52 Weeks series… even if I didn’t quite make it through all 52 weeks!

One of the reasons I started CitNutritionally.com was to show you that healthy, food allergy-friendly eating doesn’t have to be hard to prepare. Anyone can cook. And I wanted to provide you with the blueprint to getcha there. Four plus years after I hit publish on my first post, and we’re still movin’ and a shakin’!

So which recipes were your favorites in 2017?

This is hard, because some of your all-time favorite recipes weren’t shared this year (cough, cough Eggplant Balls – THE BEST!).

BUT, the recipe that had the MOST views this year – of ANY recipe on CitNutritionally.com – was in fact published in 2017! In February to be exact! This makes me SO happy, although I’m not 100% sure why, because if you’re making ANY of my recipes, I’m thrilled!

So which of my 61 brand spankin’ NEW recipes were your favorite?

Let’s find out…

Here are YOUR top 10 favorite recipes of 2017…
