DinnerTime members use the term favorite<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0to describe selecting a recipe to save in their own DinnerTime Recipe Box<\/a>. After favoriting a recipe, they easily add it to their Meal Plan<\/a>. We decided to learn what recipes DinnerTime members chose to favorite during 2020.<\/p>\n

Our members repeatedly favorited easily-prepared simple recipes. At first, we were surprised to learn that the most favorited recipes were not the most highly rated. The top five favorited recipes are all tried and true, uncomplicated, quick, need only a few ingredients, and are easy to make.<\/p>\n

\"\"Despite the Instagram photos of homemade sourdough bread and charcuterie platters, many people weren\u2019t creating fabulously complicated meals every night in 2020. For instance, a friend who now telecommutes no longer stops by the store on her way home. She and her husband decided to create dinners with less than five ingredients, to simplify their online grocery shopping. They lean on their DinnerTime Planner and Pantry Manager now more than ever.<\/p>\n

Merriam-Webster recently announced its Word of the Year for 2020. Any guesses? You probably guessed right \u2013 pandemic<\/a><\/strong>. Some of the runners-up also make sense, from malarky<\/strong><\/em> (Joe Biden\u2019s fave word) to asymptomatic<\/strong><\/em>. But there\u2019s another word used a lot in my circle of friends and family. That word was uncertain<\/strong><\/em>, defined as \u201cnot able to be relied upon, not known or definite.\u201d<\/p>\n

In uncertain times, we tend to conserve our energy and headspace to be prepared for the next surprise. Simple recipes make sense. Remember Victor Frankl’s quote on abnormal times.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAn abnormal reaction to an abnormal situation is normal behavior.\u201d

With the word uncertainty in mind, the top five recipes saved by DinnerTime members in 2020 make perfect sense.\u00a0 With all the uncertainty whirling about us in 2020, DinnerTime members looked to DinnerTime\u2019s recipes and grocery lists to provide a place where they could easily feed their families, perhaps between home zoom schooling, work, and worry.
