In 2008, I started this food blog while I was following Weight Watchers and experimenting in my kitchen. I never imagined it would grow into a full-time passion and career, or that The Skinnytaste Cookbook would become a New York Times bestseller. The opportunities that followed have been incredible, and they wouldn’t have happened without you — readers who tried recipes, shared them, and helped Skinnytaste grow. Thank you.
Every year I look back to see which recipes resonated the most. Below are the Top 25 most popular Skinnytaste recipes posted in 2015. If you’re new here, this list is a great place to start: it highlights comforting classics, light weeknight meals, and fan favorites that are simple to prepare and delicious.
