Top Recipes of 2016

2016 has been chock full of tasty recipes, and I'm so grateful for every reader that has stopped by Gas Stove Girl this year! In fact, the blog hit a big milestone - over 100,000 all-time page views! I am looking forward to even more deliciousness in 2017, and until then here is a round up of your favorite Gas Stove Girl recipes from the past year. Wishing you a Happy, Healthy and Tasty New Year!! 



A perfect recipe to warm you up this winter, this soup is a fun, creative mash-up of classic chicken and rice soup with spicy Indian curry. A little bit spicy and a whole bunch of flavor, it's no surprise this was the top reader (and writer!) favorite this year!



Who says pumpkin is just for the Thanksgiving season?! These waffles are lightened up with a bit of oat and wholesome wheat flour, a great low-guilt recipe to kick off the new year. 



These doughnuts, oh lawdy. Tender, fluffy, and extra sweet, this recipe is my best copy-cat version of the decadent Dunkin Donuts Blueberry Cake donut. That sweet glaze with juicy fresh blueberries is, literally, the icing on the cake! 



The ultimate mash-up of my two favorite carbs - soft pretzels and bagels! Turns out, it's not that hard to make either of these, and it's even more fun to make them into one salty, chewy bread. Put this recipe on your bucket list - I know you can do it! 



There was a clear trend this year of me taking two or more of my favorite things and combining them into one irresistible dish. This dip is no different! Creamy, dreamy spinach and artichoke dip, plus hearty smokey hummus - what could be better?!



Have your pie and drink it too! I think that's the saying ;-) This rich cocktail is loaded with all the wonderful spices of pumpkin pie, thanks to pumpkin liqueur and Rumchata - this cinnamon cream liqueur is decadence in a bottle!



A simple homemade ice cream recipe loaded with everyone's favorite spread - Nutella! The name says it all. 



Here I go again! Two of the best Mexican dishes, smashed together to create a spicy, fulfilling breakfast (or brunch...or dinner, for that matter). Don't skimp on the salsa or sour cream!



An adult spin on a childhood classic, these popsicles are glasses of frozen sangria on a stick! Sweet, tangy, boozy, and delightful. 



Whether you are serving these over pasta for dinner or dipping in marinara as an appetizer, Chicken Parmesan Meatballs are a must make recipe! All the flavors of chicken parm, packed down into tender little meatballs. And let's not forget the pièce de résistance...these meatballs are STUFFED with CHEESE! Yes, please!

Favorite Recipes of 2015

Happy New Year! 2016, can you even believe it?!

Before we jump into a new year, I wanted to take some time to go through and reminisce about your favorite recipes from 2015! Going through these really made me hungry - it's no surprise they were the most visited pages on Gas Stove Girl this year...yum!!

5. Beef Harvest Stew in the Crockpot


This stew is warm, comforting, and packed with all the great flavors of fall and winter. Added bonus: it's so easy! Just brown the beef and pop everything into your Crockpot! I really love my Crockpot - and it looks like you guys do, too :-)

4. Vegetable Lasagna Rolls


A fun twist on an old favorite! These veggie-packed lasagna rolls are good enough to share. And of course, these rolls are packed with everything that makes lasagna a universal favorite - cheese, cheese and more cheese!

3. Turkey Zucchini Meatballs with Pesto Pasta


I love these meatballs and can't resist piling them high on top of a pile of whole wheat pasta tossed in a homemade pesto sauce. The contrast between the crispy crust and moist, zucchini-filled center of these meatballs makes them out of this world - totally decadent, but secretly pretty good for you! Perfect for the new year.

2. Chocolate Chip Almond Flour Cookies


These cookies are the way to my heart. They are completely out of this world. Packed with gourmet vanilla flavor and almond flour and studded with tasty chocolate, these are little clouds of happiness that will make anyone melt.

1. Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Fire Roasted Red Pepper Sauce


This pork is so delicious, it was the star of my Christmas dinner! This recipe is dressed to the nines thanks to a decadent, flavorful roasted red pepper sauce. I always say that pork is my favorite chicken alternative, and this dinner makes it obvious why!

So there you have it! Looking back at these delicious recipes makes me excited for a happy, healthy, tasty 2016!

Is there a recipe you've been dying to try? Leave a comment and I'll try my best to share it with you!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!



It's Christmas Eve!!

I just love this time of year. There is such an festive electricity in the air and I am looking forward to taking it all in.


2013 was a whirlwind of a year, so I am excited for a quiet Christmas in Boston and winding down the year with my sisters, mom, dad, and grandparents on Long Island! Can you believe 2014 is right around the corner?


Thank you to everyone who stopped by my little corner of the internet this year. Gas Stove Girl has been such a fun adventure and I can't wait for an exciting new year! I have just loved cooking and creating new recipes, and I hope you enjoy reading them!

Now, to listen to N*Sync's "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" AD NAUSEAM!


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, blog-o-sphere!
