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.

"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

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.
