The Best 21 Day Fix Recipes 2020 (1)

Well, guys, we have finally made it to the end of 2020, truly a year like no other. And in the spirit of tradition, I am posting the list of your favorite new recipes of the year. This year was all about comfort food – pastas, soups, and chocolate treats! And I think we really proved that you can still enjoy your favorite dishes in a healthier way and everything still tastes delish.

Thank you again for all of your support and for sticking with me through this year…once again, this blog was a welcome distraction from, well, everything else. And while I wasn’t able to fulfill all the goals I set out to achieve (I see you, virtual school) I am really proud of all the awesomeness that did happen! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
