It goes without saying that everyone who works at Delish is obsessed with food. But there are a special few who are quite literally surrounded by it each and every day—they're the ones in the kitchen, coming up with all the amazing and ridiculous recipes that wind up in your feed...and hopefully in your kitchen! This year, the team developed more than 2,000 recipes—some sweet, some savory, and some absolutely insane (looking at you, pickle cheesecake).
Like children, it's hard to pick your favorites. So we chose the ones that really stayed with us—as in, the dinners, desserts, and drinks the staff keeps making on the reg, and you all keep liking and posting about on social media. Scroll through to see Delish's top 18 hits of 2018! And if you haven't already, check out our amazing cookbook!

Drunk Jack Frosties
These winter co*cktails were a hit on Instagram, where more than 1.3 MILLION people watched them get made. Pro tip from a commenter called PurpleToast: Add an LED light to the bottom of each glass!

Green Spaghetti
This easy Green Spaghetti was a surprise hit—and cream cheese feels totally justified amidst the spicy poblanos.

Mongolian Beef Ramen
This 30-minute recipe is basically the grown up way to make Instant Noodles, and its 100x more delicious. While it was a hit back in August, we're planning on making it all winter long.

Spinach and Mushroom Frittata
Compared to all the crazy things the Delish kitchen cooks up, this frittata recipe is remarkably tame. But it's also the kind of recipe that you'll want to keep cooking at least once a week after the first time. Mushrooms, spinach, and a mozzarella-ricotta mixture make it the perfect storm.

Crock-Pot Chicken Drumsticks
As with the frittata, sometimes less is more. These easy Crock-Pot drumsticks were a hit, and often resurface in our kitchens for game day eats.

Cookie Dough Fudge
There's an entire stick of butter in this tray of fudge, so obviously it's insanely good. As one commenter put it, "I gained 15 pounds just reading this." Still worth it.

Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings
This was Delish's top-clicked recipe of 2018, and for good reason—it's the ultimate comfort food, and can be prepped in 10 minutes. If you haven't made it yet, we suggest saving the recipe for an easy meal when your relatives are still in town.

Caramel Apple Upside-Down Cake
Adding caramel to an apple upside-down cake was one of our best dessert moments this year. The sauce is so good, our Editorial Director makes double when she bakes it at home.

Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake
This cheesecake is mesmerizing to look at. It's also just as delicious and indulgent as you'd expect. How could it not be with cinnamon filling and cream cheese icing?!

Best-Ever Apple Tart
Another team favorite: This gorgeous apple tart that truly anyone can make. The crust is SO easy! All together, it takes some time, but the effort is totally worth it.

Trader Joe's Everything But The Bagel seasoning had us all wondering what else we could everything bagel-ify; this breakfast casserole is one of our favorites.

Greek Feta Dip
When in doubt, make Greek Feta Dip. We make it for almost every party we go to. The mix of Greek yogurt, cream cheese, and feta is PERFECT.

Brie Spaghetti
At some point this year, we started putting full wheels of brie in everything, and it was never not a good move. This easy spaghetti was one of our favorites.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
These are crazy-simple to make—you're basically just adding pumpkin purée and pumpkin pie spice to our classic chocolate chip cookie—but they are delicious. Everyone on staff, and millions of people on Facebook, were hooked when this recipe went viral this fall.
