My Personal Favorite

My favorite recipe of 2021 didn’t make the list, so I had to share it here with you!

These fish stick tacos seem like such a silly recipe to be my favorite of the year, but I love it because it’s SO EASY, so flavorful, and it’s a way to get dinner on the table in just 10 minutes.

Also…tacos. I can never turn down a taco!
