The top ten most popular recipes of 2018 on Sweet Tea and Thyme!

Another year come and gone, y'all.

Where did 2018 go? Into our stomachs, apparently. 2018 was the best year for Sweet Tea and Thyme, tripling traffic from 2017. Y'all!

Y'ALL!

Y'all did that.

I love looking back and seeing what recipes were your favorites every year.

Let's look at the top 10 recipes you guys loved on Sweet Tea and Thyme for 2018 and what y'all had to say about them!

10. Stove Top Candied Pecans

This was a top 9 like on Instagram, and in the top ten here! These candied pecans are really easy and so, so good to snack on.

"So tasty!" | Devin on Pinterest

9. Deconstructed Chicken Pot Pie

This is a rich and hearty recipe that we absolutely love. It's actually a recipe that has been around since 2015, before Sweet Tea and Thyme was Sweet Tea and Thyme, and this year everyone seemed to be all over it.

Chicken Pot Pie -Sweet Tea & Thyme "This was excellent. I made a few adjustments. I used a whole roasted chicken from the grocery store. Used frozen peas and carrots. Added minced garlic to the celery/onion mixture. Delicious!" | Megan on Pinterest

8. Authentic Buttermilk-Brined Southern Fried Chicken

This real deal recipe was a top ten contender all year long. Y'all loved how I broke the whole system down on how to come out with perfectly golden fried chicken every time.

"So I followed the recipe and this is SO SO SO good. I love cooking it’s like meditation to me but let me tell you, this was HEAVEN. Trying the Mac n Cheese next." | Inaru

7. Weeknight Mongolian Beef

For the third year in a row, this recipe has been wildly popular, but this year the traffic doubled. Y'all really love your homemade take out!

Crispy Mongolian Beef - Sweet Tea & Thyme "Loved it- will definitely do again & again, I added red, yellow and green peppers also, it was delish. Also need to add the fact that we used leftover steak sirloin that we had grilled out this weekend - awesome!" | Sherry on Pinterest

6. Crispy Parmesan Garlic Smashed Potatoes

These potatoes are another Top Nine winner on IG, but they have been a winner here since the summer! Y'all love these crispy, fluffy, flavorful little bites, and we love how versatile they are, from being on the holiday table to being a finger food for Game Day.

"This easy yet delicious recipe was a total hit with my family! I will definitely be making it again in the near future!!!" | Tammy on Pinterest

5. Authentic Southern Shrimp and Grits

Yesssss, guys. Top Nine and Top Ten, this post doesn't just teach you about the recipe, it also teaches the somewhat buried history of how Shrimp and Grits came to be and y'all really seemed to enjoy that on top of a delicious, creamy, buttery shrimp and grits recipe.

"Delish, fast and easy!" | Simone on Pinterest

4. Tres Leches

One of my husband's all time favorite desserts, this was also y'all's favorite dessert on Sweet Tea and Thyme!

"So amazing! My family loves it!" | Maritess on Pinterest

3. Broccoli Cheddar Soup

This is my Number 1 most liked photo on Instagram. This soup is not only my favorite this year, but y'all's, too and I'm so happy about that!

"This is awesome. I chopped up the broccoli stems as well and will blend those into the soup next time." | Asha on Pinterest

2. French Dip Sandwiches

Top ten second year in a row! The post was updated and y'all loved the recipe more than ever!

"Seriously so freaking good! I definitely added those onions to my sandwich. I cooked mine for 20 extra minutes but everything else I did the same. The best French dip I've ever eaten. We put ours on a baguette." | Jocelyn on Pinterest

1. Panera Bread White Cheddar Mac and Cheese Copycat

This recipe blew UP. That's all I can say!

"I made a triple batch of this today for my son’s 5th birthday party. Kids and adults alike enjoyed. After cooking I kept it warm in the crock pot and Instant pot for about an hour before it was time to serve." | Melissa
