Top 10 Recipes of 2022 - Paula Deen (2024)

Are we crazy, or did 2022 actually feel normal? Or is it just our new normal? It’s hard to tell, but Paula was back in full force visiting restaurants and hosting book signings. Some highlights of the year included celebrating Paula’s 75th birthday; her trip to Pigeon Forge, TN, with the entire family for Thanksgiving dinner at Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen and a tree lighting at Paula Deen’s Lumberjack Feud; and continuing to really settle into her new house. While she and Michael moved in in 2021, 2022 was when they really were able to make it a home. And of course, as promised, Paula has kept up with her Love & Best Dishes videos on her YouTube channel, including bringing back her 12 Days of Christmas Cookies, which, after skipping it last year in lieu of a variety of holiday favorites, was resurrected after a loud outcry from her online friends.

So to cap off another wonderful year, we’re continuing on with our end-of-year tradition in sharing the 10 most popular recipes of 2022 onPaulaDeen.com. It’s the perfect time of year to reflect on those most-loved recipes of the year, don’t you think?
