I can not believe that 2018 is almost over!  This year especially seemed to fly by.  Thank you for all of the support and stopping by to try out all the yummy food.  There is so much more to come in 2019 including celebrating three years of this blog!

 

Let’s take a look at the Top 10 Recipes of 2018 on Three Olives Branch!

  1. Copycat Olive Garden Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo

    Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo - Top 10 Recipes of 2018 from Three Olives Branch
    This recipe holds strong and steady in the #1 spot almost every single day.  A spin on the restaurant classic, the balsamic balances the richness of the cheese and cream sauce.  I love this stuff.  Get the recipe here.

  2. Mexican Street Corn Salsa

    I LOVE this stuff so much that I have a mini collection going of recipes that use Mexican Street Corn Salsa.  Get the recipe for the salsa itself here.

  3. Authentic Chicken and Smoked Sausage Gumbo

    Authentic Chicken and Smoked Sausage Gumbo - Top 10 Recipes of 2018 from Three Olives Branch
    Big debate on Pinterest about this and whether it is truly authentic or not because of the tomatoes.  BUT I got this from (a) someone that lived there a while and (b) someone that knows how to cook.  Plus it tastes amazing.  So tomatoes it is!  Get the recipe here.

  4. Lasagna Stuffed Peppers

    Lasagna Stuffed Peppers - Top 10 Recipes of 2018 from Three Olives Branch
    It took a year or so for this recipe to take off, but everyone has sure loved it lately!  Lasagna is layered inside a bell pepper, using zucchini instead of noodles (but also great with noodles if you want!).  Gluten free the zucchini way.  Get the recipe here.

  5. How to Make Balsamic Glaze

    How to Make Balsamic Glaze - Top 10 Recipes of 2018 from Three Olives Branch
    Probably in large part due to this being on top of the #1 recipe, this glaze is good on just about anything.  Slightly sweet but still keeping some of the tang from the vinegar.  Get the recipe here.

  6. Oregano Garlic Pizza Dough

    Oregano Garlic Pizza Dough - Top 10 Recipes of 2018 from Three Olives Branch
    I have a few pizza doughs on this site, but this traditional one is definitely the fave.  Freezes well and ready for any toppings you want to throw on it!  Get the recipe here.

  7. Arrabbiata Pasta

    Arrabbiata Pasta - Top 10 Recipes of 2018 from Three Olives Branch
    This is one of my go-to recipes for busy nights when I just CAN’T THINK ANYMORE and need something FAST.  Vegan without the Parmesan.  It is an easy tomato sauce that is slightly spicy (or as spicy as you want) from garlic and red pepper flakes.  I like to saute whatever veggies I have on hand (zucchini, corn, and onion is my fave) and throw them on top. Also great with chicken or shrimp.  Get the recipe here.

  8. Three Cheese Zucchini Parmesan

    Three Cheese Zucchini Parmesan - Top 10 Recipes of 2018 from Three Olives Branch
    I LOVE THIS STUFF!  And everyone else has started to as well, including BuzzFeed who has included it in several roundups.  A great vegetarian option or way to increase your veggie intake.  While it doesn’t exactly taste like chicken, it also doesn’t really taste like vegetables, so it is a great lighter substitute.  Get the recipe here!

  9. Spicy Vietnamese Pickled Vegetables

    Spicy Vietnamese Pickled Vegetables - Top 10 Recipes of 2018 from Three Olives Branch
    I honestly did not ever expect this recipe to be such a hit, but it is continuously one of the most popular all year round.  Quick and simple pickled veggies for Banh Mi sandwiches, Vegan or Shrimp Banh Mi Spring Rolls, Vietnamese Pickled Vegetable Rice Noodle Salad, or whatever!  Get the recipe here.

  10. Pesto Caprese Penne Pasta

    Pesto Caprese Penne Pasta - Top 10 Recipes of 2018 from Three Olives Branch
    Pesto is another favorite of mine for an incredibly fast and easy dinner.  I love using the flavors of pesto and also caprese in so many recipes.  This pesto variation uses cherry tomatoes and fresh mozzarella cheese for a caprese twist.  Get the recipe here.
