By: Canadian Living

From a fully-loaded vegetarian lasagna to a maple and raspberry layered cake, we've rounded up our top 30 recipes from this year that our dear readers (and we!) couldn't resist.

The Ultimate Eggs Benedict

This recipe will ensure you achieve the perfect hollandaise sauce.

Coconut Curry Butternut Squash Soup

Sweet-tasting butternut squash is the perfect foil for spicy curry paste.

Spicy Peanut Shrimp and Noodles

A takeout classic, this Asian-inspired stir-fry is the perfect dish for using up odds and ends that are kicking around in the fridge.

Pork and Chili Pepper Bowls

Made with just a few ingredients, the easiness of this recipe made it one of those weeknight dinners you turned to time and time again.

Creamy Skillet Mushroom Lasagna

This recipe makes lasagna on a weeknight totally possible.

Kung Pao Shrimp

This hot and spicy stir-fry comes together faster than ordering takeout, making it a perfect weeknight meal.

Lazy Veggie Skillet Lasagna

Lasagna was a favourite for our readers this year. This dynamic mix of veggies and pasta still delivers comforting flavour but comes together quickly because there's no fussy layering.

Clementine Turmeric Smoothie

This refreshing smoothie is the perfect antidote to chase away the winter blues.

Healthy Baked Chicken Fingers

We made a kid-favourite healthier. In place of the traditional bread-crumb coating, crunchy nuts and seeds offer heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and taste great, too.

Roasted Cabbage Wedges With Buffalo Sauce

These yummy roasted cabbage wedges are so easy to prep.

Spinach and Avocado Green Goddess Pasta

We use nutritional yeast as the secret ingredient in this dish. It's a good vegan source of protein and vitamin B with a rich cheese flavour reminiscent of Parmesan.

Mediterranean Chicken Pita Burgers

This healthier burger option has lean meat, lots of vegetables and plenty of robust taste.

Canadian Maple Raspberry Cake

From sweet maple to zingy ginger to tart raspberries, this cake has it all.

Sweet Potato Falafel Burgers

A cross between falafel and a veggie burger, these savoury patties make a hearty meal.

Quick Thai Pork Stir-Fry

Just a few ingredients pack a powerful flavour punch in this speedy dish that's light on the sauce. For a more robust meal, top it with a fried egg.

Butter Tart Ice Pops

Everything you love about the classic butter tart in an ice pop.

Charred Shrimp and Cauliflower Romesco

A perfect recipe to make in the heat of the summer.

Unicorn Cupcakes

These cupcakes are our best bake sale solution: They're nut-, egg- and dairy-free, and almost too pretty to eat!

Lemony Tomato Basil Pasta

The secret to this light, fresh pasta is in the cooking liquid: It’s flavourful and starchy, which helps coat the noodles.

Caramel Apple Sticky Buns

These sticky buns only look elaborate. If you prep everything the day before, all that's left to do is pop them in the oven.

Hearty Italian Pot Roast

An epic pot roast for a great family dinner.

Vegetarian Harvest Lasagna

This lasagna is piled high with sweet potatoes and slow-roasted tomatoes, and layered with creamy béchamel sauce—but the secret's in the fried sage leaves.

Parisian Lemon Tart

A hidden layer of decadent chocolate and a thyme-infused crust add surprising bursts of flavour to this twist on classic lemon meringue pie.

Hearty Beef Stew

Cocoa powder might seem like an unusual ingredient to add to a savoury stew, but it adds an extra hit of toasty richness and colour, but without any of the sweetness you might associate with dessert. It’ll be your new favourite secret ingredient!
